FWIW - I think there are 57 fake reviews, 12 just happened to buy the book




I suspect you think that, much like those 57 reviewers hold their views, because you are not willing to entertain the possibility of anything other than what you have already decided.

I entertain lots of possibilities - but these possibilities are nothing new and it is pretty clear the scapegoating ones are BS at this point, but feel free to cling to them if you wish.

So none of these negative reviews is from a verified purchase. Makes sense. If you are interested in finding out the truth about the scandal I would highly recommend reading this book.

Format: Paperback
A book that defends a man that covered up hundreds of rapes... There is no logic behind the book at all.




Now it's hundreds of rapes? Will it be thousands by next year?

Depends on how many interviews our regents give.

Problem is the SJW idiot crowd actually believes this. They have been fed crap for so long.

1) Briles didn't cover up any rapes. He may have had loose discipline, but that is the extent of it.

2) There were not 100's of rapes. From reading the narratives of the incidents, there may have been 4 or possibly 5 incidents. The one that has always bothered me the most was when Chatman and the other guy, seemed to take advantage of a very drunk young woman.

Two others have a lot of he said/ she said dispute to it. One other, the gang rape of a volleyball player, didn't seem to be such until 9 months after the fact.

Who knows about Tevin Elliot, he seems like a criminal, yet that tape he made, clearly caught words that did not sound like someone who was being raped, but about to have sex and wanting to hurry up and get to it.

Sad to say as long as humans go to Universities, these sorry incidents will happen.

I just read Violated and hated it. Not necessarily that it was a bad book, or that it's a hack job (it's biased, but not a hack job). It should have an "explicit content" warning. This post refers to that, so stop reading now if you don't want to hear it.

I hated Violated because of its portrayal of campus culture. I know some college kids are going to drink and party and have sex. But in Violated, it's way beyond that.

--House parties that feature gang bangs
--Football players tricking girls into coming over to have sex with multiple guys
--An expectation that a girl who has sex with one guy is willing to be "shared" with his friends
--"Date rape" drugs being frequently used, especially at frat parties
--Audiences forming--and cheering--when people are having sex
--Pot and other drugs freely and openly used
--Drinking to the point of blacking out

You get the idea. . . .

Call me old-fashioned and/or moralistic, but as an alumnus and Baylor parent, my message is CUT IT OUT! These activities are unacceptable and should not be practiced or tolerated by ANY Baylor student!

Like everyone else on this board, I have hated all of the negative publicity and damage this mess has brought to our beloved school. But I really hope that the tide is turning and that I won't read another story about a frat boy raping someone at a party, or students having sex with HS recruits, or a football player beating up his girlfriend, or a Diadeloso get together turning into a gang bang. That's not the Baylor I knew thirty years ago and it's not the Baylor I want for my son.

(And speaking of Diadeloso, please stop making it an excuse for wild, alcohol-fueled parties. That's a sure way to get administration to end a great, fun Baylor tradition.)

OK, rant over. Flame away, if you're so inclined, but I bet many of you, especially parents, agree with me.

Really feel like half of this is made up. I was one of the wilder ones in school. Ran from cops, got friends of out jail, partied way to hard, and I never experienced, saw, or even heard of basically any of this.
