TCU football coaches have known for over a month about an incident back in March involving star receiver KaVontae Turpin, but when the senior was asked about the alleged altercation he lied, sources said.
Sources and friends of Turpin said he downplayed and minimized the incident involving his girlfriend. With his likeable personality and giant smile on his small frame, people bought it.
No one ever looked into it further. All one had to do was type in his name for a background check and they would have seen that a bench warrant was issued in July by a Las Cruces, New Mexico court on Turpin over a battery charge from the incident, which he denied.
