The West Virginia University men's basketball coach who used a homophobic slur during an interview will keep his position, but take a $1 million pay cut and be suspended for three games.
Bob Huggins was making an appearance on radio host Bill Cunningham's show on a Cincinnati radio station on May 8. Huggins, a former basketball coach at the University of Cincinnati, was asked about the rivalry between that team and Xavier University. Huggins, who led the team between 1989 and 2005, used multiple slurs in his response.
In a statement, West Virginia University called Huggins' comments "insensitive, offensive" and said they "do not represent our university values." At the time, the university said Huggins' behavior was under review and would be addressed soon.

WASHINGTON — An American intelligence assessment of the Ecuadorian presidential election, set for Sunday, concluded that a reelection of the incumbent president would better serve U.S. national security interests over the challenger. The assessment comes as the Trump administration mulls establishing a permanent U.S. military presence in the South American country, once known as the "island of peace," to help battle violent gangs, CBS News has learned.
