A&M suspends coaches for 'degrading' slide show

Two Texas A&M Aggies assistant coaches were suspended for two weeks without pay for their role in a presentation slide show at a fundraiser Thursday that included comments offensive to women.

Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin suspended special teams coordinator/tight ends coach Jeff Banks and offensive line coach Jim Turner for "degrading comments towards women" that were part of a slideshow that was shown to more than 700 attendees in the program's annual "Chalk Talk for Women."

The event is designed to educate female fans on the game of football and is something several programs around the country host annually.
