I don't care who handles the official investigation; an apology is nothing compared to what I would face if I were a high school coach continuing to play a player suspected of abusing women, and it turned out he was abusing even more women all the while I was playing him.
Agreed this could be much more serious than they are letting on. Since TCU is having a bad year....lost to Kansas today.....i wouldn't be totally shocked if they use this KaVontae situation to get rid of Patterson.

I just can't see that happening, even in today's politically correct world where somebody has to be blamed for others' transgressions. Patterson has been nothing short of a miracle worker at TCU and I suspect it would take a total collapse of the program before he gets the axe. Of course, 2-3 consecutive losing seasons, if one of those included a loss to lowly SMU, would probably meet the definition of a total collapse.
