    I only heard about it peripherally. So he was convicted yesterday. That's disgusting. As a big Baylor fan I say they need to do a full investigation to bring clarity on how much the university, the AD, and the coaches knew and what they did with that knowledge. We don't need this hanging over us. I'd rather go back to post-Grant Teaff years.

    You'd think a university who went through that whole Dave Bliss thing would be hyper-diligent in making sure that this stuff is taken care of on the up and up. Really sucks to read this today.

    Baylor is trying to win a title. Schools cheat their asses of to get the best recruits. We contend with non top 25 classes.

    This isn't a good look for Baylor but I don't see much coming from it. They let the legal system play out.

    Btw, he got 18 months.. County time if I'm not mistaken. What's up with the short sentence?

    Come on, that's a whitewash of a whitewash.

    They knowingly brought a dangerous dude to campus who washed out of Boise (which isn't exactly known for getting solid citizens on its team) despite being warned.

    Said dude goes and starts raping and plundering.

    Campus PD conducts a sham investigation cause FOOTBALL NOT TOP 25 RECRUITS

    Art B and coaches try to cover it up.

    Story breaks, Art and Co continue to lie

    Guy is convicted. Oops.

    That's more than "not a good look". It's a perversion of the University's ostensible reason for existing.

    Especially after the Dennehy murder (Dotson) and the whole Bliss debacle.

    If that was Briles' daughter who was raped I wonder if they would have liked to have interviewed the sexual assault nurse examiner and looked at the rape kit she collected.

    F Baylor. They're dirty as hell. Just when they start getting good in sports they either have one of their basketball players kill another player (and their coach try to cover it up), their baseball players skin a cat, or their football players bring in a rapist (and apparently Briles tried to cover it up).

    Pathetic.

    And he was largely successful which is why we just heard about it 22 months after it happened.

    I root extra hard against sexual predators and those who enable them.

    You should too.

    Hold on guys, Briles has a transfer form! This totally proves Petersen is a liar and there was not full disclosure during a private phone call between coaches.

    Peterson is full of crap. I just saw the transfer papers. They didn't highlight any issues. He wasn't suspended and they check marked that he could return to Boise.

    The only person who is full of crap here is you.

    You've simultaneously taken the position that "naah no biggie" and also, now, it's apparently an interstate conspiracy to embarrass the righteous Bears.

    Time to stop posting for you.

    Listen, it's a sad shame for Baylor and the farce that is college football in general, but look on the bright side, this isn't the first time, and won't be the last, and nobody's really going to remember this in a few years and the juggernaut of NCAA football will roll on raping and running and winning.

    Just shut up and wait it out.

    Don't know if you're serious or not, but what does that have to do with how the Waco police dept, the Baylor athletic dept, and Briles handled a rape that happened while this punk ass kid was in Waco and on the Baylor football team?
