I'm sorry, I just can't believe Baylor is in the news AGAIN!

[cc1091]

Sorry, I must have missed it. February 16, 2018 article says Baylor Football is up to its same old tricks this past season (2017). Sexually assaulting members of its Equestrian team.

When is the Big 12 and NCAA going to do something about Baylor Football?

I didn't have time to read the article but I'm gathering now they've moved on to molesting horses

No charges....ongoing investigation since before the Iowa State football game.....

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

Yeesh Baylor...

 

[Aclone]

I’m sorry, I just can’t believe you didn’t post this in the Big 12 forum, where it belongs!

(Couln’t resist. And I really need a jimlad for this!)

At some point you've gotta think that parents would just stop sending their daughters to that school. They have shown repeatedly that they have no interest in keeping them safe.

The NCAA cannot do anything of consequence to Baylor. Not without being sued ala Penn State. If you're looking for the NCAA to be the arbiter of justice, you're going to be waiting for a long time. The NCAA has been shown to be pretty legally toothless when it comes to punishing schools for criminal acts perpetrated by players/coaches. They don't have much jurisdiction over that kind of thing.

The conference could kick them out and backfill with Houston immediately.

This is all about money, conf does not care about anything but the dollar. They won't touch Baylor.

Sadly, I believe you got it right.

I don't disagree with the first sentence. I also don't think replacing Baylor with Houston affects the money at all.

Honestly, I could see it being a financial opportunity. Baylor has a small fanbase and doesn't draw that well. Being a private school, they're room for growth is limited too. They've basically been grandfathered in to P5 status.

Houston could really boost their profile in the spot, and being a large public school, could maximize that opportunity and be a more valuable conference member than Baylor in short time, as well as not be a constant human rights embarrassment.

Big 12 cannot kick anyone out, they are going to be screwed the next time TV contracts come up.

Or stop sending their horses there.

Baylor enrollment: 16,787
Houston enrollment: 42,704

Let's not forget the television market. I'm not saying the Cougars can deliver Houston, but their ceiling is definitely higher than Waco.

Yeah, I have to chime in here. A public school with a largish alumni/fanbase has got to be worth more than Baylor. It'd be a better long term investment to invite any of Houston, CSU, or Cinci to backfill.

Edit: ST8 beat me to it.

Joking about rape? Too many men are just damn disgusting. No surprise women have had enough of your type.

Does it make any difference versus the Penn State situation when the victims are student athletes wrt Baylor’s obligations to them?

The real joke is the refusal by Baylor or the big 12 to punish the football team any meaningful way. The lack of institutional control would be enough for me as commissioner to recommend parting ways with Baylor University.
