OT: Looks like the Baylor story has legs. Getting a lot of media play.

[Class of 67]

Many questions to be answered. Some of them:

- Why wasn't the player kicked out of the school?
- How thorough was the investigation?
- Cover-up to enhance football program?
- What did Briles know about the player's reason for being expelled from Boise football?
- Lack of institutional control?
- Where's the NCAA on the matter?
- Will Briles be fired? How about administrators?
- Other questions reflect on Waco law enforcement investigation, a la Tallahassee and Winston investigation efforts, or lack thereof.

PS:
- I didn't realize that president and chancellor of Baylor is Ken Starr; yes, that Ken Starr. Just saying.
- Calling George Mitchell and Louie Freeh; there may be another profitable employment opportunity for you. Freeh can conclude whatever Baylor wants, and Mitchell already has the bones of reports written to eventually lighten your possible NCAA sanctions.

Well we can be sure of one thing, and that is that nothing was kept quiet. Dr. Emeritus Judge Mark Emmert the Great said, right before he nuked Penn State, that (and I quote)

“Football will never again be placed ahead of educating, nurturing and protecting young people,”

So there's no way they covered it up. We don't have that to worry about anymore.

This is assuming the victim on the wsoc team was young. If she was old, she's on her own there.

At the same time, don't expect Baylor to be penalized in any way that looks severe. emmert said that Penn State was a unique case.

The PSU case WAS unique - it had NOTHING to do with the NCAA......and should have been jammed back into the NCAA's face within the first 24 hours.

Amen brother!

Yep, every other place has bot members that protect it, not try to destroy it.

You'd have thought Baylor as a whole would have learned from the whole Dave Bliss-Patrick Dennehy case. Guess not.

I think that we can expect them to say that, due to the fact that they are veddy, veddy religious at Baylor, the only culture problem they have is a culture of forgiveness. They might try to cast themselves as remolders of men...their faith sometimes disappointed by individuals.

Mr. Starr has a ton of chips he can call in.

It's not Penn State and they don't have a legendary coach.

Doubt it gets legs.

 

[PSU57]

IMO, the PSU case boiled down to, bottom line, one thing. That was that a few members of the "scumbags" er, BOT had an axe to grind against Joe Paterno, (with that POS Surma leading the way). Those few were just laying in wait to get back at Joe and felt this was their chance to put it to him.

 

[L.T. Young]

Chris Peterson, former BSU, has already come out and said he called Briles. He said Briles was told about all his problems at BSU.

Baylor's investigation was so inadequate none of it could be used for the criminal prosecution.

The victim and player had some of the same classes/tutors. The school refused to change her schedule.

Neither does rape have anything to with the NCAA. Like child molestation it's a criminal offense whose prosecution lies totally outside the mandate of any athletic governance organization. The only reason the NCAA bluffed its way into the Sandusky case is that Mark Emmert thought he might be able to get away with something and reap some very-much-needed good pub in the process. No thought whatsoever given to a fair, just, demonstrably correct outcome for all concerned -- just "how can we turn this human tragedy to our best PR advantage".

If the NCAA in its current incarnation represents the kind of organization college athletics chooses to be governed by, and apparently it does, then its members richly deserve every wrong, no matter how egregious, which it may ever inflict upon any of them.
