she doesn't love you back. She was paid a ridiculous amount of money to win. Was it worth the ROI? But I agree with you that no one deserves a statue. Maybe Kane and Lummus. She threw a tantrum and left over not getting her name on the court and trying to control the location of the new arena. She was Baylor's most toxic employee. A hell of a coach, but kudos to Mack for getting rid of his most overpaid and miserable employee and making it look like it was her idea. That's LSU's problem now! Nicki will be great.Johnny Bear said:Fozzie said:imagine a world where Baylor has one of the best (if not the best) coach in college football at their school. He did something no other Baylor football coach in the history of the program did this past year, won 12 games and 6 of those wins were against top 20 teams (in Art's best season he beat 3 for the record). Now imagine that there are a group of Baylor fans who are still living in the past despite having such a great coach who does things right on and off the field?Space Cutter said:
So now that part of Baylor's money has been returned can Baylor please honor Art Briles for the success he had at Baylor along with the championship teams he lead. There's room for a statue next to Grant Teaff's. The whole saga was all fake news designed to damage Baylor. Coach Briles & those Baylor players deserve their day on campus.
Naw, I don't want to imagine a group of alumni or fans that short-sighted and ignorant. Didn't Art used to say the past is last? LOL, no statues for Briles, Mulkey or any of your other idols. Maybe Drew and Aranda after decades of excellence and lack of scandal as long as they decide to end their careers at Baylor. But in general, statues for humans are bad ideas and just weird.
Nobody is attacking or belittling Aranda for his accomplishments last season. The comments about what happened to CAB are about an injustice that happened to an outstanding coach that didn't deserve it. What Aranda did last season and whether or not he eventually eclipses CAB's career accomplishments at BU (and I hope he does) has nothing to do with it.
And if Mulkey doesn't deserve a statue, then nobody in the history of BU athletics deserves one - at least at this point in time.
The Big 12 will return in excess of $10 million to Baylor University's athletic department, a sum of money withheld by the league beginning in early 2017, SicEm365’s David Smoak and Ashley Hodge have learned from multiple sources.
The net amount Baylor will receive from the league was a little over $14 million less legal fees and a fine levied by the league.
In February of 2017, as voted on by the league’s board of directors, the league unanimously agreed to withhold 25 percent of Baylor’s revenue distribution until the university showed proper advancements in the aftermath of its well documented sexual assault scandal.
In October of 2018, after a verification of implementation of 105 recommendations from Pepper Hamilton, the law firm that conducted a nine-month investigation into the school and its processes, the league fully reinstated the University’s revenue distribution.
Baylor then immediately returned to “full participation in future conference revenue distributions.” The school was fined $2 million by the league.
“The Verification Team is of the opinion that Baylor has in all material respects structurally completed and practically implemented the (105 Pepper Hamilton) Recommendations as of the date hereof. Whether the recommendations that require future action or are aspirational in nature will continue to be implemented in a sustainable manner will only be verifiable over time,” the league’s “Verification Report” said.
The 25 percent withheld amounted to $14,255,000. Legal costs associated were reimbursed and the remaining was invested for the following four years with net earnings distributed to all active Big 12 schools to support a variety of causes.
February of 2022 marks five years from the initial withholding of revenue.
