You're welcome. One thing I forgot to mention is that Baylor is in full court press jockeying for the George W. Bush Presidential Library. They've been buying up land all over the place in the Brazos River corridor for this purpose, and behind the scenes are pressuring the City of Waco to expedite plans for a riverwalk type development along the Brazos River to entice the President further. This would be a real boon to the local economy, and makes sense since the President's ranch is less than 20 miles away from the Baylor campus. Should they win the library there would be a "Texas triangle" of libraries with the LBJ Library in Austin, Bush, Sr.'s library in College Station and W's library in Waco -- all within a reasonably short two hour drive of each other.

Is SMU mentioned as a competitor for the Library? I'd think they would have a shot at it with Laura's ties.

Thanks for fleshing out Baylor for freepers.

I have no bone to pick with Baylor in general.
My comments are based on the dodging and schmooozing and other smarmy behaviors I have seen from Baylor coaches and administrators ever since Dennehy's disappearance was first reported. As a former journalist I recognize the Cover Up Syndrome when I see it... and it first appeared weeks ago. The last thing these people wanted was scrutiny.

That is interesting. I thought W was going to share Bush Sr's library. A 2 for 1 deal. Guess I'm behind on that news.
