Report: Texas Tech (football) recruit punched female basketball star in face

Nigel Bethel is one of the highest-rated players in Texas Tech's incoming recruiting class, but if a report in the Lubbock Avalanche Journal is accurate, there's a good chance the defensive back will never suit up for the Red Raiders. Nor should he be allowed to.

The paper is reporting that Bethel punched Amber Battle, a player on Texas Tech's women's basketball team, in the face on Saturday following an incident at the school's recreation center. Battle will need to have surgery to repair the broken bone in her face suffered from the punch.
