So a completely biased party completed an "investigation" in less than 15 hours (sounds like some really thorough, detailed stuff) and decided to stand behind their booster with a history of taunting/insulting players. Why would any reasonable person take that as gospel?

Look, if ANY of these witnesses disagreed with the Texas Tech investigation, don't you think they would let it be known? To ESPN? To other outlets of the media?

No, not necessarily. Confronting racism is a difficult thing to do at any time, let alone in an extremely public situation like this one. And that especially applies if you're not 100% about what you heard (and if that ridiculously inconclusive video is any indication, it was probably pretty hard to hear exactly what was said). The fact that nobody has come out publicly at all to make a statement either way isn't evidence of anything.
