Played in both CFP games well after school was aware of the allegations.

University of Washington football player arrested, charged with raping 2 women | AP News

Story is being buried.

I guess this is just the way it works now.

A lot of schools have these kinds of players, doesn't matter unless you're a Christian school though

Well, to be fair, the non-Christian schools do not push that they are different. The Christian schools deserve to be pointed out when they stray. If you are going to brag about being something and you don't deliver, you deserve what you get.

Thing is the Christian schools should readily admit that their students are really no different on an individual basis than those of most any other school. Baylor acted like somehow the 18 years-olds coming here were different than the 18 year-olds going to other schools of similar size and reputation. That was never the case.

I seem to remember that UT and OU were the first and most aggresive to condemn Baylor. For sure a holier than though attitude regardless of their lack of religious affiliation.

Also, the University of Texas has never in its history had a football player convicted of rape. I don't believe they have ever even had one tried. Somehow, they only recruit saints.

Baylor has never bragged about being Christian, and to assume a Christian school is without a few bad apples would be foolish. Not to mention, any coach in America is going to tell parents that they will turn their sons into quality young men, obviously they don't always deliver.

Has nothing to do with being a Christian school, stop being a victim.

"Rogers has been suspended from all team activities until further notice, the University of Washington athletic department said in a statement Tuesday. The university will continue to gather facts and cooperate with police, as requested, the statement said."

They suspended him and are cooperating. There is no indication that any coach or administrator knew of the crime and sat there doing nothing. Crime happens on all teams at some point, it's when you knew about it and how you responded that matters. One rape accusation does not make a scandal if handled correctly.

Guess you missed this part:


A 22-year-old University of Washington student reported that she was raped in November 2023 in the University District, police said.
The woman met Rogers at a Halloween party at the university and then matched with him on Tinder, according to court documents. Police said the two made plans a couple weeks later to hang out and that upon entering her apartment Rogers was immediately forceful and assaulted her. The woman told police at one point Rogers "used one of his hands to strangle her."

The second woman reported the alleged rape to the university on Nov. 28, police said. Rogers allegedly called her on that date to confront her about the allegations, police said in court documents.
He was also suspended from team activities around late November 2023, according to court documents. The freshman running back did not travel with the team for its victory over the Oregon Ducks in the Pac-12 Championship game on Dec. 1.
At the time, offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb said during a news conference that Rogers was "working through some things, some challenges he's had off the field," court documents said. Rogers returned to team practices by mid-December, documents said.
Multiple emails were also sent within the University of Washington athletic department confirming Rogers should be taken off the team's travel roster for the Pac-12 championship game, but no documentation of reasons for such an action were given, the documents said. He was allowed to appear in the Huskies' two College Football Playoff games a month later, however.

Rogers recorded five carries for 19 yards in the Huskies' semifinal win over the Texas Longhorns on Jan. 1. The 18-year-old rushed for two yards in the National Championship Game against the Michigan Wolverines on Jan. 8.

Good grief....that has been the story for as long as I have been alive. Every coach at Baylor talks about the "Christian mission" or words to that effect. We are not a victim here, our problem was that we were essentially the first to hit this problem and our BOR panicked. Everybody else learned better how to handle things once they saw how we screwed the pooch.

I think they suspended him and then let him play again.

So DeBoer gets arguably the best job in college football while Art Briles can't get a job. DeBoer knowingly played a person accused of rape, and Art Briles did not. Let's see the big media/state school hypocrisy on this one.

What happened to Coach Briles was the direct result of incompetence on the part of Baylor's administration. Throwing one man under the bus was not going to spare Baylor's reputation. Now the AD has let our most successful football and WBB coaches go, and MBB may be following them out the door. Linda can lead the school into its athletically mediocre, woke future without pushback.

If the AP is running a story and it's being talked about on a Baylor message board, it doesn't appear to be buried.

One story about it the past week on ESPN. Where is the hourly coverage on Sportscenter? Where is the "in-depth" reporting like Outside the Lines did. He played someone knowing he was being investigated for rape. The amount of coverage is laughable compared to Baylor.

It's amazing to me how the rapesplainers can always identify the differences of what baylor did to Briles and how what he actually did was worse than every subsequent example

Certainly the ratio of these 'splainers to boosters is high. The pretzel twisting is fun to watch though

Unless you consider Rhule to be our "most successful football coach," Livingstone and Rhoades bear zero responsibility for the football portion of your statement. They were brought in after the BOR cleaned house.
