At least the NCAA should see that special treatment goes to rich white guys at Baylor and not African American student athletes.
You have it exactly backwards. Immense pressure, national pressure, was put on the DA's office to not make this deal. And note that a judge approved it. Strother refers to the extensive pre-sentence investigation.Canada2017 said:
Wonder who put the pressure on the local DA's office to agree to such an incredibly soft plea bargain.

No. If the DA thought that he couldn't get a conviction then a plea bargain is the way to go.Canada2017 said:quash said:You have it exactly backwards.

Then the DA should have taken his evidence to a jury and let them decide .
As it is now PartyBear's perception appears dead on.

It is all about leadership, and we have none.
Before they would have done it by not reporting it. It was call the Ramsower Way. RR didn't have control here though.BaylorTaxman said:RD2WINAGNBEAR86 said:It was also one of the lead stories on the NBC Evening News.

Exactly how is our leadership supposed to keep news outlets from reporting on crimes?
Like ATL Bear and PartyBear said, if he would have been a black football player, Baylor would have destroyed him long ago.BaylorTaxman said:RD2WINAGNBEAR86 said:It was also one of the lead stories on the NBC Evening News.

Credit where credit is due. Good for the Baylor administration. That is the way it SHOULD work.BaylorTaxman said:RD2WINAGNBEAR86 said:

They did not have to. THIS Baylor administration actually took definitive action by expelling the accused and indefinitely suspending the fraternity's chapter.

Good grief, I completely disagree with letting this rich brat off the hook with not even a slap on the wrist, but "they got aggressive with you"? You people were banging those huge cameras all over the place, looked like you were basically bumping into them with them, looks like the media was aggressive with them more than the other way around.gobears20 said:
