Ugh, I just want this to be over. I'm sorry but I can't move on until this is completely settled and that can't happen until Baylor fixes the overall problem which is a lack of transparency about what was going on. This was the intention from the building based on Baylor's request that the findings on the individual incidents not be written down in a report which could be leaked. They spent up to 30 hours of oral presentations. -Pepper Hamilton (with permission from Baylor) releases and summary of every incident with every coach and staff member with the victims names blacked out. The excuse that Baylor is trying to protect the victims is a bit lame since so many have been identified publicly. -All staff that have been concluded by P.H. as assisting in the coverup of these events are fired. -Release 2016 pledges who don't even want to be there instead of letting that drag out. -Turn the cleaning house and move to transparency into a campaign for support in re-building the program. It's not good for Texas, OU or anyone else if Baylor goes back to being crappy. The thing that really bothers me is that Baylor admin, fans and donors would be for cleaning house if the coaches weren't winning. There would be no loyalty there. I am not for a "death penalty" and I am not for canceling the season. Just take care of business and re-build. One of the stupidest things I see of Baylor fans is the assertion that UT had anything to do with it. What role did UT have with the article written by Texas Monthly? Do people think that ESPN's outside the line team gave a **** about the Longhorn Network and anyone at ESPN believed that a bad Baylor would help the Longhorn Network? It makes the content less interesting if it involves bad teams that no one cares about. No one cared about Austin radio personalities talking about Baylor because there was no national coverage outside of that Outside the Lines Report The most important thing is that The Pepper Hamilton report was commissioned after one of the players was convicted by a Waco Jury and the national audience is responding to that. This is another example of everyone blaming everything on UT which makes me as a fan want to leave this conference behind.
^Perhaps you work in sports/media but you really need to bring it down a notch. We have lost damn near every recruit for 2 years while firing a bunch of people and we've kicked off 3 players in the last 2 weeks. T Dickson has asked for a release too. The hits keep coming. I thought he would have stayed since he was a January enrollee.
Tren isn't playing anywhere till at least 2018. Since he has already began practicing/taking classes at Baylor, He's binded to Baylor until January of 2017. He would have to sit out the 2017 season and can play in 2018.
So that's 2 seasons? I'm confused. Perhaps, he's just hoping that we let him out (bluff) bc he clearly said he's not sure he wants to sit out a year.
What do you want me to do? Football isn't my life and neither is what Baylor does. It's called having a life. Lol
Not sure about the other guys but doesn't make sense to release some and not others. I don't see how this tactic works in BUs favor.
I've said Briles deserved to be fired. The victims, good hearted kids on the team and the fans have to suffer now. What else do you all want? Baylor probably could have done nothing at all like FSU and Tennessee have.
Coincidence that all this bad **** started going down at Baylor pretty much the minute that Drayton funded their new stadium? I think not. Karma.
It's been reported that 2016 recruits have been officially notified they would not be let out of their LOIs. They can now appeal to the NCAA which is a process that can take between 4-6 weeks. Pretty lame.
Good. They commit to the university, not the coach. Baylor still has enough talent to compete for a playoff spot this year so they should just suck it up and buy in.
I haven't seen that but I'll take your word for it. I'm sure we would let them out if they signed outside the conference/state. Tough for those kids.. They chose to sign amidst the scandal and rumors but nobody saw the crap hitting the fan like this. Let's see what the NCAA does.
it was on the radio but it doesn't seem to be anywhere else. I'm sure they knew of the rumors but they were told they weren't true. That's something you say when a coach bolts a program after he recruits a kid. You're right. They committed to the university and the president and leader of the university was fired. The BOR slammed the university as an institution. That does not sound like what they were presented before they committed.
