TCU coach Gary Patterson kicked KaVontae Turpin off the football team on Tuesday, days after Turpin was arrested in Fort Worth for alleged assault on his girlfriend.
Turpin also had an incident last March in which he had been charged with battery against who is believed to be the same girlfriend. The March incident is what has raised the most questions as TCU claims the football staff didn’t know about the entirety of the incident.
Patterson brought a piece paper to his news conference Tuesday, saying the football staff only knew Turpin was charged for criminal property damage last March in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
