I hesitate to post this because I don't like posting about scandals...but I know folks on this board have through highly of Bo and it seems to now be every where.

What ever is the cause, it's a really sad situation.

I saw that and also hesitated, what with the conflicting evidence and writeups. I even had the Compose thread box open and decided to pass for now. I am sure we will hear a lot more down the line.

yeah....I've closed down my post a couple of times until I found a more reputable source that what I was reading

There are so many Big 12 connections here...with Bo and the Sky that I decided to go ahead.

Much more is surfacing about this...it appears that the accusations made on the Sky board were at the heart of this forced resignation although

despite the WNBA team clearing him in an internal investigation, according to Overton's Oklahoma City-based attorney.

This is scary...if it's false accusation, the sky have allowed an accuser to destroy a person's reputation.

I had a feeling that those board postings were behind it all. It is distressing that in our world today, all you need is for one or two people to make wild accusations, and they are instantly believed by anyone who happens by to read it.

Interesting. If I'd been accused of the same thing based on a board posting and I knew I did nothing wrong, I don't believe I would resign right off the bat.
