I did? I thought it was the big 12 post...
Just saw this as well. Powerful.
Hope Riley has some success changing the culture at that school because in the past they have had multiple incidents. Don't think Dr. Tom would be giving this woman the same access and support.
People need to understand that this isn't just a football or athlete problem, it is something that is widespread on college campuses everywhere. Football can though take a lead in dealing with it, Riley and Nebraska seem to be going that way, ****bailer the opposite.
I agree on all accounts.
My only question is why is this a full length feature article right now, while the only mention of Bailer is in the very last sentence of the article? There is a certain amount of irony in writing a story about victimizing women by ignoring their sexual assaults, while basically doing just that.
I read that story somewhere else recently.
What I noticed in it is that Riley actually ****ed up in how he handled things in the beginning. He handled things the wrong way, not as bad as **** bailer, but still not right.
Something happened to make him realize that he ****ed up, that he was wrong. And now, he's changed.
He's trying to do things the right way now.
And, of course, there are some nubs who want him gone...

My god your right.
The university of Miami had a similar arrangement where the officers were wholly employed by The UM with no Union and no pension. Surrounded by Coral Gables the two departments knew each other quite well. The UM cops however had one unwritten rule; no arresting athletes without The Presidents permission. Or you could be fired.
State certified law enforcement officers that answer to an unelected non government employee.
Kind of a conflict of interest wouldn't you say?
In the mid 1990s, after some bad press about The U, the FDLE in Tallahasee refused to renew their license as a police department despite some alums in the legislature making noise. I'll guess they got wind of the unwritten rule. Coral Gables now does the job answering only to their own chief.
I wonder if Baylor PD has such an unwritten rule / conflict of interest arrangement in their chain of command. I'll bet they do.
I'd be careful throwing unsubstantiated rumors around.
is that what you called that bitch?
And this is why these thing are problematic.
What happened at Miami, at Pedo State, at kNebraska under Osborne, and a number of other places aren't just some coach going renegade to win games. It is a cultural issue that extends into the university administration. In Waco it has extended beyond the university and into the PD and the DAs office.

I last looked at that baylor board when I linked something from there earlier in this thread, to laugh at their delusions. Now, when I return, I just get kind of scared.
Is there anything that would persuade these people that their university is in the wrong? Every single post has the tone of "we're getting screwed", "damn RINOs and liberals" (as if being opposed to rape is a liberal but not conservative value, and moreover that this is a position to be ashamed of), "witch hunt!", etc. My god.
The most charitable explanation for this sort of commentary that I can possibly come up with is that cognitive dissonance is a mother****er. Heh.
Edit: New low? Emphasis mine. The bolded is a reply from one poster to the other.

They also like to point out small incidents at other schools and equate them to the **** bailer! scandal when they cry foul about the way they're being persecuted.
Even in cases where other school's took decisive action and cut ties, baylor-fan still points out how they're being persecuted. Really it's the victim mentality. They are never satisfied, always wanting more.
I read this article this morning and it has been haunting me all day. This woman is absolutely amazing, but I cannot get her attack out of my mind.
I said earlier in this thread that I had to quit reading about this stuff because I was getting angrier and angrier. I have to be done clicking these links.
I am very glad that these stories are getting the attention they are getting. It is starting a conversation that needed to be started and I hope that something good comes from it.
This was a truly powerful story.

WACO, Texas (June 24, 2016) – Baylor University and Art Briles have mutually agreed to terminate their employment relationship, effective immediately. Both parties acknowledge that there were serious shortcomings in the response to reports of sexual violence by some student-athletes, including deficiencies in University processes and the delegation of disciplinary responsibilities with the football program. Baylor is addressing these shortcomings and making ongoing improvements.
Baylor wishes Coach Briles well in his future endeavors. Coach Briles expresses his thanks to the City of Waco and wishes the Baylor Bears success in the future.

Was surprised today.
Worked a charity booth selling burgers and hot dogs at a farmers market. Had two college aged girls come up wearing Baylor t-shirts, also saw a car with a big Baylor logo on the back.
It's hard to imagine anyone willingly showing an affiliation with them considering what is going on right now.

Baylor people are conservative. Loyalty is a trait that correlates fairly well with conservatives.
Every time I see your avatar in this thread, it reminds me of who is running the athletics programs at Texas universities. Bunch of JR Ewings who want bragging rights for their school and will do whatever to make that happen. The Baylor ones are particularly annoying, because they believe that God supports their actions.
I understand your point and it's taking every ounce of tipsy willpower I have not to take that personally and challenge you to a life or death duel.

Fire up the sopapillas!
Were they hot?
They were sunburned but no, they looked like the kind of girls who would think Baylor was the place to go.

They looked more like her friend.
Well, cause they're Christian, they have a higher moral standard.
