It's believed that at least one person filmed the incident with a cell phone camera.

Hearing from multiple sources that Chris Jans was involved in an incident at a bar. I was told that Jans was surprised that he was let go.

@michaelshugars1 @jordanstrack From what I've heard, it's inexcusable. BGSU did the right thing.

So, there could not be anything more surprising than seeing this over my lunch hour.  Things were in good shape, the program was healthy and moving ahead with a new direction and now that's all starting over.

The tweets above show--from journalists, by the way--what is known right now about what happened.  Obviously, I don't know anything more than that, but my first reaction was that it had to bad, and this is confirmed.  But don't worry, we will see the video soon enough.

The University reported public conduct. For the record, there's no buy out in this situation unless he was offered one, since this is a termination for cause.  Such an issue is often litigated, but that's how it is supposed to work.

I'm completely shocked and, assuming that the video is as serious as described above--all by people who have not seen it themselves, to be fair--than I am very disappointed in Chris Jans.  A lot of was invested in him and this is a huge blow to a lot of people's hopes and desires.

Implied above is something I will reinforce...I support the administration for upholding the idea that our players AND our coaches have to be good representatives of the University at all times.  We do not want to be a place that lets coaches and athletes run over their bosses...see OSU, Syracuse, etc.

More as more is learned.
