Your question should be redirected to the adult person who was accused of the domestic violence. "Why risk everything for one stupid act?" This is not the coach's problem to solve. Anderson got involved and created the strong impression he was attempting a cover-up but was unsuccessful — forced to report the matter by the arrest of the suspect. USU already had a reputation for this kind of response, which already resulted in one previous round of house-cleaning. That's why Anderson's contract included the language it included. They're trying to protect the victims as much as the players or staff members.
