I've still never understood how the rapes were Brile's responsibility instead of the Waco police.
What was his responsibility was to insure that All complaints were forwarded to Title IX compliance, that his players/staff/coaches cooperated with Title IX compliance, that his team/staff/coaches followed directives, that he fostered a culture of compliance, that he properly vetted anyone added to program, that he and his folks refrained from inserting themselves into Title IX investigations, etc.
In those areas he failed massively.
Ah, yes, the nonexistent title ix compliance that no one on campus was reporting to - thus the non penalty
Poorly run? Yes.
Ineffective? Yes.
Non-existent? No.
The "no one else was complying with the law, why should I" argument rarely goes well with judges or juries.
That's not the argument
The entire place was non functional and no one was trained
It was nonexistent for part of the time read the report
After that, campus in general wasn't trained to report
Dozens of people knew the volleyball player story and no one was reporting
It was an institutional failure to leave everyone untrained
"Go to the cops" is pretty good advice in that environment
If nothing else, Briles should clearly have been aware that it was not his job to be involved in any way.
Man, you do a much worse job than trying to get people to go to the cops.
No. You go to the police, then you go to HR/Employee Relations. They are trained to handle those things. Managers are not.
