Baylor running thread.

[doc longhorn]

I started this thread because it looks as if the Baylor scandal is going to have legs, and I think all of us would like to keep up to date with the latest.

For instance - today, there is a 247Horns poster, that claims to have inside info, and is saying all the Baylor coaches have been pulled off the road.

If this is true it is major news - as this is the hot recruiting time and the last thing Briles would want is his coaches back home.

Something is really brewing, if this true.

EDIT:  Here is the actual quote from the poster - who has been very reliable, in the past, with his info:.

I heard from a reliable source in the CFB coaching community that Baylor coaches have been pulled off the road. A few days ago, one of the Baylor mods claimed that it was a good sign that the coaches were still on the road because it likely meant that they were clear of any wrongdoing. That doesn't appear to be the case anymore after the OTL report from yesterday suggesting that they did, in fact, know about many of the sexual assault cases and did nothing about them.

I was thinking just yesterday that it might be time to have a central thread for this story. There's a "drip - drip - drip" factor going on so it's tough to keep up. Thanks for doing this Doc.

The big news from yesterday, IMO, is that ESPN more or less showed that Briles knew about a lot of this. Before yesterday, that was still a little bit in question despite the Boise State coach's claim that he informed Baylor.

I sure wish eSECpn would pursue the scandals at Tennessee, Bama, and Ole Miss as doggedly.

Obviously, I'm not condoning BU's alleged misdeeds, but coverage on this sure seems unbalanced. It'll be interesting to see what BU does, but those involved in a cover-up should be terminated; Briles, McCaw, Starr...whoever.

maybe they will adopt the aggie strategy...."If the media would just leave em alone there wouldnt be any problem!"

I'm with JBTexasEx on the part that I bolded above and what I'm about to say probably won't be received well by some. 

But because I've had a "bad" personal experience with how the media reports things, I'm always a little hesitant to believe everything that they report. Rarely does the media get things even half right and they will and do sensationalize things in order to get viewership/readership/clicks or whatever. The media mostly wants a good story and will exaggerate the truth when it benefits them. 

Yes, as you can tell, I am extremely jaded toward the media.

The Waco police dept. is really angry over the revelation of the Baylor players files being pulled from their computer.  They call it sensationalism.  However, we call their anger CYA.

And where is the county DA on this?

This Baylor football cover up is systemic and wouldn't surprise me if it went all the way to the legislature.  There are more than a few Baylor grads there, as well.

Baylor's transgressions deserve unbalanced coverage.

Briles sucks. I have always believed that he was a sleazy piece of crap. He is.

'Nuff said.

Hook 'em!

 

[tejasrulz]

Remember when a bunch of Texas fans (I wasn't one of them) wanted Briles as the HC when Brown was let go? Looks like we dodged that bullet big time!

And there were "Texas Fans" who wanted us to hire the sumbitch.

It wasn't me, I wanted Patterson of TCU.

 

[tejasrulz]

I wanted Franklin which shows you what I know!

Oh? How many actual sexual assualt convictions?

Uwakachu - who never played a down for BU - and who else?

Yeah you're right. Nothing to see here. Much ado about nothing. Much more interested in Laremy Tunsil's light bill.
If leaked reports are true, BU at the highest levels ignored or covered up multiple instances of sexual assault. That would keep the conviction rate down.

You didn't answer the question, so obviously you've got nothing. 

There's a big difference between allegations and convictions. I seem to remember the public indicting Meander and Sanders without due process. How'd that work out again?

 

[streettopeschel]

you really think this isn't a big deal? That amazes me.

And your lack of respect for due process amazes me.
