Why Did Clemson University Fire Tommy Bowden?

Lauren Bowden is Tommy Bowden's daughter, and was caught up in a nude Bowden photo scandal back in 2006 (Lauren Bowden nude pictures were apparently leaked from a "private" photo shoot). While the Lauren Bowden nude pictures had nothing to do with Bowden being fired, Bowden was fired because of the performance of the Clemson football team. However, a quick Google search for Lauren Bowden's naked pictures reveals that the Lauren Bowden nude scandal is still a relevant topic among Bowden and Clemson football fans.
