Flame away but the football team is now a giant money sink. If you combine the loss in lawsuits, reputation, the cost of the stadium and the eventual boot out of the P5 that will come. We might have had a chance at a spot in another P5 that is absolutely gone now. This might be the death keel for Baylor to the next level. Thank the BOR.
We didn't have much of a choice.
Even if his job might have been saved in some circumstances, and it isn't clear whether that was even possible (or desirable), the crisis communication fiasco in the aftermath of the Sam Ukuwachu trial made that impossible.
One loss does not destroy a program. These guys are tough, they will bounce back. The coaches are smart, they will adjust. The same team that brought us TCU last year also brought us Boise State. The football team is not a money sink. Financially, the lawsuits are a minor annoyance. They are not a existential threat. The NCAA may come down with something at some point, and that could set us back, but I don't expect the death penalty.
