Sounds like you assume 19 football players accused of assault by 17 victims either didn't happen or is commonplace. It's tin foil had material either way.
That is not even touching on the systematic failure to report players to Judicial Affairs.
There are zero equivalent situations. (And don't say Tenn, just no)
19 Baylor football players sexuallly assaulted 17 victims? Seriously?
When were they convicted?
Where is any real evidence it happened?
Where is any solid evidence any coach tried to cover up a crime?
Hell yes the BOR over-reacted.
Do you believe the Holocaust happened?
What????
Sorry, but that is an idiotic response. Comparing the senseless denial of a genuine historical event with overwhelming evidence to legitimate doubts over a series of accusations made by biased journalists and greedy lawyers for which very little genuine evidence has yet been presented is just asinine. I'm sure you are exaggerating to make a point. But did you even read the valid questions you replied to without attempting an answer? We still have only one football player who stands convicted of any such crime and NO EVIDENCE of any others.
Those are facts.
If any Baylor football player other than Tevin Elliot currently stands convicted of rape, who? When & where did this trial take place? Why has the Austin media who started all of this reported on it? Or espn, etc? And I mean a trial in a court of law in which the accused have rights (due process, etc), not the kangaroo courts of the press & universities that have produced numerous false accusations & injustices. The longer Baylor's fake scandal goes on, the more it seems to be more like the Duke LaCrosee team than a real scandal.
Anyone who has a problem with this post needs to look up how schools get to handle the subject compared to police and the justice department. There is no such thing as innocent until proven guilty, the accused does not get to cross examine the accuser, etc. Universities are not court systems and should not be treated as such.
Did something bad happen in Waco? Yes, but no one should be harped on for wanting to know the truth and for using FACTS, not here say and rumors. Very sad to see the lessons of Duke, VMI, and Georgetown still haven't been learned.
You are wrong with several things in this post. Your biggest error is comparing us to schools where is to assume that schools shouldn't have the right to decide if certain people should no longer be students. They should have that right. The guidance letter gives them leeway as to how to do it. But schools can kick out cheaters, trouble-makers, etc. for a variety of reasons. Baylor was doing it decades before Obama had control of the the Department of Education.
Next, you are lumping in other schools that had unique problems that do not match what Baylor was dealing with after convictions of Elliot and Sam U. For one thing, there seems to me to have been a change in board involvement FROM not even registering TO micromanaging thru RR and crisis management firm.
Also, somebody floated Starr's belief's on Baylorfans long before his interviews in books. If accurate, Starr basically believed as as 83 and Lib are posting on this thread. Obama's requirements are unconstitutional, not correct, due process, blah, blah, blah. In a blog/message board/debating society that is all great. But the blame for why Baylor is exposed to lawsuits from women is because Baylor did not do the front-end work on Title IX complaints. Start a file, Provide separation via class schedules/letter to accused, Provide some initial counseling and referral to counseling. Baylor's financial liability is from not doing what I just posted. The liability isn't from kangaroo courts and lack of due process. That is your philosophical/political issue and not what happened (or failed to happen) at Baylor.
