More on that in a minute.YoakDaddy said:NoBSU said:So if the answer is the players are on the official roster. What does that mean to you? It does not mean anything to me at this time. I am not even sure that we have a sexual assault.YoakDaddy said:NoBSU said:So you are only able to discuss one thought at a time? I am going to have to insist that you are not an administrator with that authority.PartyBear said:You are doing classic projecting. It is in fact you making up what other people say or you are not reading carefully or you are not understanding what you read. The question I asked is "What is the status of the current players in regards to the team?" Not "what did coaches do wrong and what did Baylor sweep under the rug?" Despite what you may think you do not look clever when you chime in on that question and say "what are their names? and then chastise the person asking the question for not knowing their names. It looks like maybe a 14 year old thinking they are really clever and artful in avoiding answering a direct question. It isnt impressive. You also look transparently scared of the answer or if you in fact know the answer, scared of it coming out, when you clearly think I know the answer to the question. Again I'm asking because I am curious about knowing this and the answer is an important one. I'm sure I am not the only one who feels this way.NoBSU said:Another poster that just makes up stuff about what I think and posts. Why does you keave me out of it and attack tge DA. Don't lie and act like you know me or my opinions because you certainly aren't getting that from my post. PartyBear set the topic - What did coaches do wrong and what did Baylor sweep under the rug?Bearwitness8223 said:NoBSU said:The other poster asked? You asked the same question a little while ago and again what 5 times since Friday night.PartyBear said:I'm trying to be real polite to you even though you are the insulting people makes you feel more important and better about yourself type. I dont know the answer to the question and never said I did ( apparently you are not as good at reading comprehension as you believe) hence the reason I have asked the damn question that the other poster asked. That is how basic communication works. One asks questions to find out things he or she is curious about knowing. Hopefully you can understand that concept.NoBSU said:So you don't know the names of the players but you know specifics of the football staff not "dealing" with it properly? So how specifically did they not deal with it?PartyBear said:
It will be uncovered. This facet of the situation, meaning how did the staff deal with it and when or not deal with it, will not be kept secret for long. It will come out.
The answer to the question is an important one and will come out at some point. It is folly to think this will be kept under the rug. Frankly I think it is stupid to try keep it under the rug if the answer makes the staff look good.
Let's say that you aren't getting an official answer on the status of the players until the DA finishes with the Grand Jury. Let's play what if. Let's say March 10th 1 player is indicted for distributing a video not sexual assault and 1-3 are not. Let's say March 11th Rhule or the AD releases a statement that the 1 player is suspended from the team pending the outcome of the case. Let's say there is zero discipline on the other 1-3 players at this time. What was done wrong? What has been swept under the rug?
You act like these kids are gonna get a fair shake with he "Justice system" anyways they will fight cheat and lie to convict no matter if these kids are guilty or not because they are corrupt
What is it with this week-end?
As Yoak said all the AD has to do is release a brief statement of their status without any name mentioned.
Try to stay with the logic here. I told you that nobody seems to know the status of the players. So the only alternative way to answer your question is to know the names of the players. Nobody seems to know their names so we can look them up on the roster. At this point it is down to you asking the question several times a day until the DA acts or Title IX completes with a negative ruling expelling somebody. The ruling won't be released due to FERPA but the player exiting the roster will be obvious. Stay with the logic. A positive or negative ruling will not be released unless by lawsuit. So the DA announcing charges or no bill is how you are going to hear who the players are. If somebody is brave enough to name names before the DA acts, then most of us can look the players up on the official roster. If the name is on it, then your question is answered.
I am not sure when a Baylor freeboard about sports become a forum for effectively pressuring the McC County DA, the BU Athletic Department, or BU Communications? Instead Sic'Em 365 is a discussion board. But you are already showing that you don't wish to discuss this topic. You keep trying to eliminate discussion. You only wish to three acceptable answers: on the team, suspended, or kicked off the team. No discussion is acceptable to you. Your question is important you say. Will you even discuss why it is important?
You seem to be concerned that something was done incorrectly by a coach or AD. Why else your question an important one? The question isn't important just because you asked it. If you don't like my what if then give me your scenario. What specifically are you worried about that the coaches did or did not do?
I am pretty transparent. I am a Baylor graduate and I don't like non-Baylor graduates coming here to hurt Baylor. I don't intend to be nice or considerate to them. If you fit the Robe mold, then yes I intend to be very blunt in my distaste. Expect rebuke.
Baylor graduates get more leeway with me. I can still get cross-ways with them. If they think I have to see it 100% their way is a good way. If they decide to restate what I said in an inaccurate manner. If they think we all or Baylor owes Art Briles anything then that is an issue with me. Because we don't. He was offered a settlement with a NDA. He took the money. I have disliked the wolves and sheep on the BOR for over a decad and the majority likes that (so what).. I posted volumes against the regents on Baylorfans. If you are a Baylor graduate and think there is only one item to discuss on this topic (your current strategy), then go start your own board. You don't tell me what to do here.
As a Baylor grad, the question is important because Baylor has not been transparent or accountable to alumni, stakeholders, students, and the central Texas community for nearly 2 years (or over a decade longer due to the shaming). It's important because if the university is to be believed that football is not as important as allegations of sexual assault and they've gotten their act together, then they must note the status of the players involved. Otherwise, same old Baylor.
The official roster is a weak response and you know it. Communicating status within the team goes to building trust that will take years to build back. What happens when/if the DA chooses to go after 1-4 of these players and they've been participating with the team for 5 months? It'll be the same old Baylor; can't learn its lesson. Baylor needs to prepared for that scenario and it's optics. Sharing the status alleviates future pressure.
As to whether or not "we have a sexual assault"....that's the same shaming attitude that's been there for decades.
I don't know that we had a sexual assault. The TV headline was pretty exact and the story very broad. That is not **** shaming to wonder if the posters that say it was consensual sex but the objection is the sharing of the video. That means nor assault.
What is you level of tolerance? I know mine. Nobody is asking mine. You assumed that I think if they are accused of sexual assault that I think it is okay that they are active members of the team. I didn't say that. Nobody asked that. You and three others have posted what you think I think on this topic and the Briles/Petersen. The others have acted shocked when I strongly object to that. At least you are discussing it.
So what should the policy be as to suspension? What should the policy be towards kicking them off the team?
I think the general media objected to things not being referred to Title IX. When 99% of schools set policy that a mandatory reporter has to report to Title IX designees, then the media assumed that was the policy at Baylor. I am not sure what the policy was at Baylor. Garland's deposition sure did not clear that up. The media was asking the wrong questions during most of our scandal. What was our policy on mandatory reporting? Did the coaches report as to our policy? The media skipped the first question and only asked part of the second. It does not matter if we called our department Judicial Affairs or later Title IX. The right question to ask is What was our policy on mandatory reporters (who is a mandatory reporter and where/when do they report). You did not ask me Yoak, but I think we are in trouble if the coaches learned of an assault and did not report it to Title IX. I'm not sure if posting/sharing the photos is a Title IX or Clery Act reportable for an employee. So who violated Baylor policy?
Assault or not this is a that Judicial Affairs will want to review. Are all athletes reported for anything to Judicial Affairs to be automatically suspended? Is this what you are saying you want or the media wants? Are all athletes charges with a misdemeanor to be automatically suspended? Are all athletes charged with a felony to be automatically suspended?
Please quote back to me what I stated your thoughts to be on this topic or the Briles/Petersen topic; otherwise, state your tolerance level. My tolerance level is zero indication of any questionable behavior anywhere remotely related to sexual assault should be automatic expulsion from Baylor because of our current situation. They know; they've been warned.
