Coach Bev Kearney’s lawsuit has returned back to the trial court. She will soon start deposing various officials, including former Coach Mack Brown. She also plans to depose former school president, Bill Powers and former Athletic Director, DeLoss Dodds.

I previously wrote about her lawsuit here. Coach Kearney alleges she received harsher discipline in 2013 because she is black. Coach Kearney claims that other white coaches were given second chances for a similar offense. The coach was fired when a relationship with a student came to light. The university has spent $500,000 defending against the lawsuit so far. That is a shame, since the lawyers appear to have committed a serious error during the appeal. But, the university will have additional opportunities to make their point, that comparing discipline will not work when the supervisor in each situation as different.
