Let's not forget Patrick Dennehy.
From what I've read about just about every scandal that has occurred at Baylor since the Big 12 was formed (and it's not just rapes and murders), they were one short step away from the death penalty, and probably would have been given it if it wasn't for the fact that the NCAA stopped doing it with the way it wiped SMU completely off the map like a nuke. Probably one of the biggest reasons why the remaining members of the Big 12 don't give a rip about what happens to Baylor in the realignment process and would probably just dump them if they could get away with it.
One thing I will agree with you on is I highly doubt anyone would be proclaiming the moral injustice being done to this conference if ISU's future wasn't on the line.
