Kenn, I'm just having fun. As I don't expect my children to attend any of the swac texas schools what they do or how they do it really doesn't affect me and mine. I do like messing with Kendrick because, and don't take this with any disrespect Kendrick, but sometimes you'd think the brother looks in the mirror and can't see his own nose. That said, I respect his opinion. I just happen to disagree with it 85% of the time. I should have left the "crazy" out. Sorry. They might be amateurs but they are working. Let them not show up for work(practice & games) and see if they get that paycheck (scholly).

Here is the full statement from Brown:

Today, my athletic director, Mr. Ashley Robinson, notified me that my employment as Head Women’s Basketball Coach at Prairie View A&M University has been terminated for cause, effective immediately. This decision was based on an alleged Title IX violation stemming from the removal of two student-athletes from our team following their violation of team rules.

This past August, after a situation involving an inappropriate relationship between a coach and a player that resulted in the termination of the coach involved, I collaborated with my Title IX office in drafting a rule to prohibit non-professional relationships between individuals affiliated with our team. The language of the rule read, “Players may not have non-professional relationships with other players, coaches, managers, trainers, or any other persons affiliated with the women’s basketball program.” Not only was this rule approved by the University’s Title IX office, but a copy of the rule was given to the athletic department. Until this investigation, I was never notified of any Title IX issue with the rule and trusted the advice I received from my Title IX office and my Director of Athletics.

Following a violation of multiple team rules this season, including the prohibition of non-professional relationships, two student-athletes were suspended from team activities. This decision was extremely difficult for me but was made with consultation, encouragement and approval from my Director of Athletics. These women were allowed to keep their scholarships and remain students at Prairie View A&M.

I admit that I held two players accountable for not complying with team rules. Today, Prairie View A&M fired me because its investigation determined that the rule in question violated Title IX even though the same Title IX office that conducted the investigation helped me draft the rule two years ago. Clearly, I feel betrayed and unjustly penalized by this action.

Despite today’s events I remain hopeful because I know that God has a plan for me and my family. I look forward to continuing my coaching career and serving as a positive influence for young women on and off the court again in the near future.

Was it last August or was it 2 years ago?

My feelings....

1. "non-professional" has too much ambiguity....the policy writer should have had definitions of the word then forwarded it to the school attorney to ensure that they we not violating anyone's civil rights thus possibly leading to a lawsuit.

2. What are these other rules that were broken?

If she has the paper trail that everything in #1 was done....PV might as well get ready to pay her.

Hell sometimes it is better to explicitly state what a person can and cannot do. Hell nonprofessional could be not going to a fellow players house for dinner with their parents.
 
One thing to consider, individuals are purposely reading one side of the story. Two, the Title IX complaint the two ladies filed was against the coaches action and treatment based on their sexuality, not the university nor a policy. I am sure Title IX officials would not write a report on a claim based on discrimination solely on the basis of a policy. It is based on the complainants account of what took place in addition to any policy if the policy exist.

First, Ashley Robinson is not going anywhere and two Prairie View A&M University would not pay the salary necessary for Charles to even consider returning to Prairie View. Third, if he returned to Prairie View A&M University it would be as the President of the university.

Completely understood. I don't profess to know the ins and outs of Title IX. That's not my issue. I can appreciate the fact that those ladies felt the need to file a complaint under the Title IX guidelines. That's not my issue either. The point I'm trying to stress (under the premise that there are likely other details that we are not aware of) is that on the surface, it looks like Brown has been thrown under the bus.

As @jag4life pointed out in that statement provided by Brown, there is some confusion on when Brown supposedly had the backing/help of the Title IX office in helping to draft the policy. Nevertheless, are we really to believe that Brown is the ONLY one who has to take the fall in this case? Are we really to believe that Brown just violated Title IX policy on her own without the help or assistance or input from anyone else?

That's the only point I'm trying to stress here.

That's what I've been saying in the BPP. What other actions/treatment were the girls subjected to? That remains to be said... Like you said, only one side of the story has been put out to the media which is how most things take off now in social media. I've been saying the same thing all along... Unless the two girls were treated differently outside of the "rule" Coach Brown put into place then it's pretty much a clear case for Brown. I'm sure that will eventually have to come out.
 
Hmmmmmmmmm..... The "hookup" is still alive? lololololololololol Dannnnnnnnggggg Silicon Valley/Telecomm Alley :D .
 



Kenn Rashad,

Again, what many are missing, the alleged new Title IX policy did not give Coach Brown the right to discriminate against these young ladies. If the investigation provided evidence that she discriminated (i.e. called them names, treated them differently than other teammates, isolate them, and etc.) against these ladies, then her offense were grievable issues and could ultimately lead to her termination. This is a basic sport law course case study.

That is 100% correct...

But like I said, that has not been stated yet. Everyone is looking at Coach Brown's side/story of "kicking the girls off for violating team rules" only. Of course, that's the only side of the story that's out.

I typically don't say much, but Chuck will never be President at PVAMU. A President at PV must have broad-based knowledge of the Academic Affairs unit of Institutions of Higher Education.. He would do well at a school like TSU.
