Huggins might be in trouble, DUI is good, Bees are bad

Can I ask a real question? Does sensitivity training really mean anything?
Especially this week with the Iowa gambling stuff coming out. Guess what, those athletes sat thru NCAA training and it said not to, wait for it, not gamble.

That seems like an appropriate outcome for what happened - there’s some pain, but not a loss of basic security.
It’s definitely not going to change his general standard of living, but will definitely alter what he’s doing with his money.
Which seems appropriate.
I believe the $1m is being given to WVU's LGBTQ center, which is a good move since otherwise it's just a cost savings for the AD.
I don’t have to be his financial advisor to make likely assumptions. Chances are very high he is a rich man.
I don’t know, he’s kind of a clothes horse. A lot of navy sweatsuits.
Because its 25% of his income?
You’re like my 7 year old nephew who just keeps asking “why?” until you’re describing what a molecule is.
1 million dollar fine probably hurts but anyone thinking that it effects him too much I totally disagree with. He's a high level college bball coach. I would assume most of them realize their fortunes can change quickly and plan accordingly. He's also made a ton of money over his career.
I think it does because I think it is being conducted by LGBT groups so they don't have as much of an incentive for letting him make it a joke.
Something that just gets more and more crazy to me is that this entire episode (the homophobic slur, insulting Catholics, suspension, becoming a yearly employee, reduced salary, mandatory donations etc.) happened because Huggins either made the whole thing up or exaggerated it so much that he might as well as made it all up. Because none of it makes sense, and no one remembers this happening. Huggins is an ******* and was coach of Xavier's biggest rival. If more than five people did it, people would remember it, it would have been reported on, and probably most Xavier fans would have said they participated
It's honestly more believable that he made the whole thing up so that he could use the slur than that any part of it happened
My bad… I think I expected a deeper reasoning than “because it’s 25% of his income” so I asked why.
What a harsh punishment that will be for Huggins. He now has to go through all that big trouble of stressing and trying to figure out what to do now that instead of $4M he only has $3M for this year’s salary.
T’s and P’s for Huggy. Hope he pulls through in overcoming such adversity.
If I lost 25% of my salary it wouldn't change my life in any way. I obviously don't know Huggins personally but I bet his salary going from $4 million to $3 million has exactly the same impact on his life as if it went from $4 million to $5 million.
If losing 1 million after years of making millions has a major impact on Huggy's financial situation he might need a new financial advisor. Cuz he made some real bad investments.
So everyone wins WV saved a million bucks, Huggy only misses 3 games. It's WV no surprise how that regents and President handled the situation.
I didn’t say it would ruin his life, but it’s a tangible change that he’s going to feel. He probably had that money earmarked for some project that he can no longer invest in.
Yeah, his life isn’t ruined. Do you think it should be? For a word?
I think it completely depends on the person. Especially one who’s goal wasn’t to be offensive.
When I was younger, I made comments that were intended in jest that really offended the other person, and I was truly unaware that they would find it offensive and felt like a prick. Because my goal was to offend, I’d have probably tried to learn something in sensitivity training if I had been to one.
Huggy Bear? He don’t give a **** unless it effects his ability to win.
