FORT WORTH, Texas _ TCU Chancellor Victor J. Boschini, Jr. told the Star-Telegram on Thursday that he has not reviewed all the facts of the KaVontae Turpin case, but that he will not rule out anything, including the need for a detailed investigation or potential disciplinary action against football coach Gary Patterson.
"I could not answer that until I meet with everyone involved and find out exactly what happened," Boschini said. "I want all of that information in front of me."
Boschini said he was in Orlando attending NCAA meetings when the news broke that senior wide receiver KaVontae Turpin was arrested on charges of domestic violence Sunday in Fort Worth. Monday, it was learned that Turpin also had a similar charge from an incident in March in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
Tuesday, Patterson said Turpin was no longer with the team.
Boschini said he plans to meet with all parties involved to find out exactly what happened, and the time line of events to determine why the university did not know about Turpin's first arrest. Boschini said he plans to have the meeting "sooner rather than later" because he plans to be out of town next week.
"We do think we have pieced together exactly what happened and the time line, but I want everyone involved so we can determine exactly what happened," he said. "I'm trying to find out right now what happened. I don't know what else we could have done, but I want to uncover every stone. This is my reputation, too. I take these things personally."
