Baylor University Sexual Assault Scandal Mega Thread

How did the NCAA over reach on PSU? Child rape was going on and the powers that be knew about it.

 

I can't lie. I giggled when I saw this. It is impossible for a school to be this trash.

 

So what repercussions would you say is fair and just?

 

Are they death sentenced yet or nah? Lmk when it's done.

 

Baylor playing the "how much can I get away with" at this point...

 

He's only been there a month. How is it that the first thing you do when you move to a new city is get involved in a prostitution ring?

 

LMFAO You cannot make this **** up.

 

My bad - I actually read that as prostitution ring, not sting - as in, he was an organizer or something. This, to me, is actually not a big deal. Fireable, yes. But anything reflective of a bigger problem? Not really.

 

AP:

The Big 12 says it will withhold 25 percent of Baylor's share of conference revenue until an outside review of the athletic department determines whether the school is in compliance with conference regulations and Title IX guidelines following its sexual assault scandal that has rocked the school.

The sanctions against Baylor are the first by the Big 12 since the school and athletic department were hit by allegations of mishandling assault cases.

Baylor fired coach Art Briles last year and parted ways with university President Ken Starr and athletic director Ian McCaw after an investigation by a law fIrm found allegations of sexual assault brought to the school were not dealt with appropriately.

The Big 12 paid out about $30 million to each conference member last year.​

I do it see it as more of a CYA. Also, I find it rich that Boren is quoted in the story. He saw the Mixon tape and was fine with him not being kicked off of the team.

It appears Baylor would like the audit to begin right away and the next payout is a while away unless I'm mistaken.

This may help in the long run. While I think the culture is changing under Rhule and Baylor has tried to implement the right controls to be put in place, it would be nice to have a third party conduct an audit to confirm.

 

Nice try Baylor..... spends half the statement discussing all the wonderful changes Baylor has made and that Baylor has acted stronger than other programs....... the statement just shows that Baylor still doesn't get it, and there are still a negative culture present.

 

So much for being a "Christian" school huh? Hypocrites. I bet all those people love judging others and acting all self-righteous/holier-than-thou

 

Chip Brown (I know I know) put out an opinion piece that I agree with wholeheartedly. And without admittedly knowing the exact protocols or jurisdiction, I am dumbfounded how LT. Gov. Dan Patrick or some higher authority has not looked extensively into what the hell happened here. You're talking about one of the biggest scandals in your own state, a police department that was allegedly aware but with no action taken, university employees coercing victims, all while not complying with a federally mandate for 4+ years, etc...whose sole responsibility is to stop this from happening. Yet when Tom Brady's jersey gets stolen, the freak'n Texas Rangers are called in?

 

Baylor is a conservative fundamentalist Christian university with money and influence.... in Texas.

 

Everyone is waiting for the Feds at this point, even the NCAA, once that goes down then all bets are off.
