The difference between OU's actions and a court's is that a court allows Shannon's lawyers to confront his accusers and OU's informal investigation doesn't allow this. If the record ever gets out, I have no doubt that there will be multiple coed's(whose names will be redacted) accusing Shannon of improper behavior.
I just can't believe that OU would suspend a player for a year because of one incident.
Why? Wouldn't Texas do the same thing under the same circumstances? Is UT more lenient that OU?
