So, last recruiting cycle, Tech landed a supposed stud corner back from Miami (Nigel Bethel). He was Tech's highest rated recruit, and was expected to start for the Raiders this coming season. I say "was", because Bethel was kicked out of school today for "punching a women's basketball player in the face during a pick-up basketball game".

Here's (http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/11152834/texas-tech-red-raiders-cornerback-nigel-bethel-ii-dismissed-punching-women-hoops-player-amber-battle) the story from ESPN.

This guy is simply scum, he's been dealt with. Don't give him any more notereity.
While violence against women is unacceptable and, if truth were told, demands that any witness kill the perpetrator, we can't do that in a civil society. The resultant stress is relieved, somewhat, through humor meant to draw attention to the ridiculousness of the situation.

From what I read on forums and such elsewhere, it sounds like the football dude got hit in the back of the head during the rec ball game, and without looking where or to who he was punching, just swung around... and hit the girl.

If you are rolling your eyes, I completely understand. Such a "defense" would not prevent you from being charged with assault, nor protect you from a civil suit for pain and suffering/hospital bills, and it certainly did not keep him playing football at Tech.

However, this does not sound like a simple case of putting a girl in her place for playing basketball better than a man or whatever. Apparently there was video that the coaches at Tech reviewed before making the decision.

Lesson: Don't just go swinging your fists, you moron.

It would have been better to go into defense mode. What if it wasn't a fist that hit you, but an errant basketball or an accidental collision (remember that this was rec ball).

Maybe it's the mommy in me, but being around kids at a playground. I may accidentally get hit either by a kid or by something else (can't count the number of times I've bonked my head on stuff that's too short). Swinging fists around people that are smaller and weaker than me?! Uggggh

ESPN is reporting that Bethel "took a swing" at the woman. That doesn't mean they are right, but if there is video of the incident (and I'm sure there is), then I would think it was pretty easy to tell the difference between a 'heat of the moment' elbow check and a punch to the face. I think it was probably more the latter since the decision was made so quickly.

They could arrest him if they have film or a complaint. My suspicion here is that, presuming the injured party agrees, they just let the dismissal from the team and expulsion from school be sufficient and save the good citizens the cost.

Ok, so even assuming that this football player has developed a complex from being undersized and often targeted by bullies, it doesn't excuse his actions. If he's going to respond with violence anytime he feels threatened and this complex causes him to irrationally feel threatened, then he doesn't need to be on campus.

Ex-Texas Tech player could face aggravated charge
6-29-14
AP - Sports

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -- A former Texas Tech football player faces felony assault charges after he was accused of hitting one of the school's women's basketball players at the university's recreation center.

A Texas Tech Police Department offense report released Monday accuses freshman Nigel Bethel II of ''causing serious bodily injury'' by hitting Amber Battles on Saturday. The one-page report states the attack included ''hands, fists, feet, etc.''

Efforts to reach Bethel were unsuccessful. The highly regarded defensive back from Miami was released from custody pending formal charges by the Lubbock County district attorney's office.

Bethel was dismissed from the football team on Sunday.

Athletics spokesman Blayne Beal said Bethel is being allowed to complete his summer school session.

Battle led the Lady Raiders last season with 16.4 points per game.

While I agree with what you're saying, remember the forum you're saying it on: The Internet. A message board on the Internet. A college football fan site with a message board on the Internet.

I don't expect the language and tone here to ever be reasonable, mature, or within reason on most occasions. So please, don't be offended, don't be upset, and take what you read here with a grain of salt, because you're on the Internet, and a football fan message board at that.

Theoretically, we should all be taking up arms and boarding transport to NE Nigeria to kill every last Boko Haram member. That is what good people would do. That we do not is excuseable as impossible or at least impractical, but it's only an excuse.
Likewise with violence towards women. 'We' should hunt this twerp down and murder him. That's what a righteous person would do. We do not because we are members of a 'civilized' society (which literally means 'governed by common or 'civil' laws'). But our basic sense of morality is unaffected: we know our moral obligation. That we are forbidden to act upon it causes discomfort which is sometimes relieved through humor.

Felony, yes. Deplorable, no. The one and only time I actually saw a man slap 'his' woman was in a bar in Alaska. Very quickly, three other guys started beating the crap out of him. And most of the people in the bar were having a good old time laughing and watching this guy take a severe beating. Bar tender didn't stop it until one guy wanted to use a bar stool as a club. I think the barkeep was afraid his stool might get damaged.

Yeah, things aren't as "clear" now as they seemed when the story first broke (big surprise). It certainly seems odd that Battle (the woman) instigates the fight (with the first strike), and she is only suspended while Bethel is booted.

I think there's more to the story than we're hearing, so it's hard for me to know what to think. If she started it, and hit him, then she too deserves to be booted. I thought Tech had a "zero tolerance" policy?!

Her shot is obscured, but doesn't look very damaging. He could have left it at that and charged her, but NOOOO.

seems pretty mild. he shouldn't have done it but the initial reports made it sound like he punched her and knocked her down and then started kicking her.

They chose the latter: reinstated him. So...he is suspended for 25 percent of the season (first three games) Central Arkansas, Arkansas and OSewe.

Sorry, thought you knew that. She was/is also suspended for 25 percent of the season, the entire month of November. So...everyone can move on. 45 days to the start of the season.

What a cluster**** by Tech.

Let me get this straight, there was enough video evidence of the incident to convince Tech to boot him out of school almost immediately. But now, all charges have been dropped and they're bringing him back?!

So much for all the Tech fans that were saying "we don't need a thug like that on the team" or "I'm proud of the school for acting swiftly on this!!!1!!!"

The first Tech fan that tries to talk trash about OU accepting DGB is going to get donkey kicked in the throat.

Treat Tech fans with kindness. They must live out their bleak lives associated with a second rate school located in an area that a more organized country would reserve for use as a penal colony.

So she is ineligible to play pick-up basketball for a month?

What part of the Justice system do YOU not understand? A felony does not necessarily mean Jail time. He could very well get say a 1 year Deferred whit it being able to be expunged from his record after that year!

Anyone posting w "pride" in the name is seriously letting me down in this thread.

Maybe SP asked his ma to sign up and help defend the women of the world?
