Hopefully, they won’t find another coach who will cover up rape and sexual assault.
I agree. Baylor could have won without any of these players. Apparently Briles didn’t believe it. The proof is they won the Russell Athletic Bowl without a quarterback. There’s no doubt he covered for the thugs and so did his higher ups.
Back in the 70s Arkansas was scheduled to play powerhouse Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl. Three players, two of them “stars”, were accused of sexual assault and Holtz kicked them off the team. The bookies wouldn’t even take bets on the game. Arkansas won 31-10.
Wife and I were looking forward to going to some Baylor games. Today we requested a refund for our bear club membership. I have a feeling we’re not the only ones.
Now the NCAA will get involved. Baylor could be through with football completely. This is as bad as Penn State. But at Penn State one young coach reported it. Apparently EVERY Baylor coach kept quiet.
I don’t blame you for requesting a refund.
Haven’t been to a game since Grant Teaff was coach but enjoyed watching them play the past few seasons. Doubt that’ll be happening again any time soon.
Not only did the entire coaching staff from Art Briles down trying to hide the allegations of violent crimes against women, but now we know that school administration, the Waco Police Department, and possibly even the Waco city government were complicit in covering up the crimes. And this on top of the Baylor basketball scandal from 13 years ago, when player Patrick Dennehy was murdered by a fellow player on the team.
In short, this could reach the level of the SMU football team scandals from the late 1970's to middle 1980's. And it may be enough for the NCAA is seriously consider imposing the death penalty, even though the NCAA very rarely considers, let alone imposes, such a severe punishment.

Wasn’t that 1977? And, Arkansas won 31-6.
The problem with your analogy is that Oklahoma’s head coach was discovered to be having an affair with the wife of us offensive coordinator just prior to the game. Many consider this the reason behind Arkansas victory.
