    In a court of law, yes. On a university athletic program/team, the university rules may prescribe different action (such as suspension from the program) until the legal case is settled.

  • Terry Bowden is not the coach of Alcorn State but rather the coach of the University of Akron. Jay Hopson is the coach for Alcorn State.
