UTw fans care WAY more about this (hence the OP) than A&M fans. Baylore has their foot on UTw's throat and beats them year in year out. Baylor and A&M don't play and barely compete for recruits, thus our level of concern is much lower.

But to the original point, I don't think Baylor takes a fall for this. Baylor Law is TRIAL LAWYER UNIVERSITY. The biggest bloodsucking parasites in TX are Baylor Lawyers. They'll rally around the flag on this.

I'm sure some of you have come across the Baylor news today. I find their program to be one of those annoying programs that just pops up and makes life annoying for the big dogs.


I'm sure TCU and Texas aren't too annoyed.

Honest answer.

I don't think Briles deserves to get fired, but Baylor has a history of taking a "win-first" approach across the board.

Britney Grinner -- She didn't play in the olympics because she is (and knows she is) genetically a man. Olympics committee tests, NCAA does not. Baylor knew, but still had what genetically amounts to a man playing a woman's sport and ignored the obvious...all for an unfair competitive advantage.

LaceDarius Dunn -- Dude broke his girlfriend's jaw. Still played. No action by the AD.

Carlton Eric Dotson, Jr. -- Murdered Patrick Dennehy. It took NCAA action for Baylor to get off it's collective arse and do something about it.

Baylor Baseball Player's Animal Cruelty -- There's more than one way to skin a cat. Just ask a Baylor baseball player. Players were not dismissed from the team.

The list goes on and on. Baylor is a win-at-all-costs organization, top to bottom.

I am not saying A&M doesn't have problems, but the most recent examples include Isaiah Golden and Darian Claiborne. Know why A&M's D was swiss cheese recently? We lost two 5-star starters because Sumlin dismissed them when charges were filed. It didn't take a full-blown trial, appeal, mistrial, second trial, second appeal, and supreme court certiorari to get A&M staff to take action.

As an aside, does it surprise anyone that Baylor is the target of an investigation? Pop Quiz: why Baylor? Why did TCU take a serious fall a few years ago?

Who stands to gain more by their failure? A&M or programs that share a conference with Baylor.

This stuff happens at Baylor all the time. We should be happy that at least no one was murdered this time (basketball player murder & cover up by coach).


Baylor is so small and out of the mainstream that their track record of murder, rape, etc remained localized.

Now that the football team has had a slight rise in prominence they have become a national story.

Baylor will fade soon and they will be an asterisk in the sports scene.



Surely no one would hire one of their many former head coaches to a Defensive Coordinator position, would they?

We beat them by 4 TD's last time we played. Have a zero GAF factor about them.

Everyone who follows Texas football knows what Briles is. It is just in the national news now.
Baylor President Ken Starr is a POS but he is a survivor and will probably fire Briles.

A small handful of us Tejians "in the know" know that t.u. was able to secure its first 3 national championships forcing coeds to have sex with officials. And that this all started with the LaGrange ("Best little whorehouse in Texas") thing, as well. [The administration would "bust" a t.u. coed working there and then "trade" their silence for her "trading with" a referee].

And then there's what we all know re The Dallas Morning News in the 1980's and the death of SMU and the Southwest Conference.

But I'm yet ready to believe that THEY would undermine The Justice System in this way in order to regain and/or protect whatever it is that we think they could ever so plausibly regain...

EDIT:

I like totally made up like only 100% of this.

Am I missing something or did a player who was suspended indefinitely and never played a down for Baylor, is going to jail and will no longer be on the team?

Where's the controversy? Where's the cover up?

From what I can tell this is more a story of the media not asking questions or reporting on this story until recently. It's not like the entire thing was a secret, court cases are open record, as are arrest records.

The guy had a violent history? Don't half the player in the SEC have a violent history?

Does America no longer believe in due process? Shouldn't the rights of the accused and victim both be upheld? What is the difference if he is dismissed from the team before or after the verdict? The outcome is the same.

If anything, people should be outraged at this judge's decision, 180 days in jail for rape? That's ridiculous, the real investigation should be the competency of this judge. The jury recommended 8 years.

with ken starr at the helm Briles is safe. his investigative prowess, or lack thereof, has been proved.

also, they have to pay for that damn stadium man. a rapist or two isn't gonna change a thing.
