I believe that was with regards to how they handled coming about the sanctions, not the final outcome.
Google "penn st ncaa violations". In 2014, NCAA dropped all penalties and restored all victories to Penn St and Joe Pa.
In short, the NCAA relied on a 3rd party report instead of doing their own investigation. There were also reported flaws in the report prior to delivering the sanctions. But don't think there was any question as to whether the NCAA had the right to sanction them or the penalties themselves. Just how they went about it.
http://www.thescore.com/ncaaf/news/1029664 Report: Baylor board of regents considering firing Art Briles "Baylor's board of regents is considering firing head coach Art Briles amid a sexual assault and domestic violence scandal, sources told Mac Engel of the Star-Telegram. The news comes just hours after ESPN's Outside the Lines released more examples of the university allegedly covering up criminal behavior by members of the football team. While the board is expected to retain Briles, the sources confirmed the discussion about firing the successful coach is ongoing. The report detailed further cases of assault by players against fellow students, and a new sexual assault case that was potentially covered up by the Waco Police Department. More allegations that Briles knew of the charges, yet failed to punish any of the players, also broke, becoming the latest in a growing list of incidents surrounding the program. Prior to Briles taking over, Baylor had posted one 10-plus-win season in 102 years of football. The Texan has delivered four 10-plus win campaigns in his eight years at the helm."
Again, Baylor has not committed any NCAA violations. Title IX is federal law, not NCAA. I think the NCAA learned their lesson to stay out of criminal matters.
I appreciate all that Briles has done for Baylor but he has to go. He's now a long term detriment to the program and the university. This era is now more defined by the rape/ sexual assault culture and less by the success on the field. Oh well it was a fun ride. Hopefully other schools can learn from Baylor's mistakes and be more proactive.
Not saying you're wrong, but from everything I've read, the sanctions were rescinded because of how they handled matters, not because they weren't allowed to. Also should be noted that not all of the sanctions were lifted.
If this is the case and Baylor doesn't self impose punishments then this represents a major hole in college athletic regulation.
Dear Art, Those are all great and lofty achievements, but that has nothing to do with yall stopping people from and/or punishing people for felony rape. Sincerely, Society
LMAOOOOOO Wow. Truly not an ounce of shame. Feel bad for Baylor fans because this is beyond embarrassing.
Almost seems like someone hacked his account. Not sure how anyone could think this would be a good idea.
Consider me 0% shocked that Briles ended up in a "lol IDGAF" scandal and is now clumsily and cluelessly fumbling his way through it.
Really? What did he do previously that made you think this way? He had always seemed cool to me. Small town coach done good type story. I also have some friends that seem to relish on RGIII's failure in the NFL. I don't get that either because he was always great in college. Son of two Army sergeants. 3 year graduate and went back to get his master's while still playing football. Well spoken, etc.
He had a history at UH of being quite lax with the rules as far as player behavior goes. Art was also never a fan of red tape or working kindly with administration.
