University of Texas head men's basketball coach Chris Beard was fired Thursday, less than one month after the school suspended him without pay following his arrest on a domestic family violence charge.

As reported by ESPN, Beard was in the second season of a fully guaranteed, seven-year contract. His contract includes a provision under which he can be fired for cause for conduct that includes being charged with a felony. He went 22-12 in his lone full season with the Longhorns, and was off to a 7-1 start this season at the time of his arrest and suspension.
