Yale just canceled their men's soccer season because the male soccer players were rating female soccer players on their attractiveness on a 10 scale. A Harvard head of college and another professor stepped down due to student pressure because of their stance on Halloween Costumes. Similar student pressure got the President of Missouri University to step down because of imaginary racism.
Do you really think there is some sort of equivalence between this overly sensitive pampered university bullshite and the systematic cover up of domestic violence, sexual assault, and rape allegations by a university/athletic department?

Covering up rape and gang rape is grounds for firing. Why'd they cave and settle for 20 million?
Baylor didn't pay Briles off because they had no grounds to fire him. Baylor paid him off because they wanted to protect their brand and not open themselves up to discovery and other law suits.
If Baylor fights Brile's law suit then both parties spend the next year in court talking about every sexual assualt/rape/domestic violence allegation at Baylor over the past 10 years and who knew about it about it and what action was taken.

LSUGrad00, exactly. Baylor's insurance carrier made the decision to settle based on advice from the school's attys. The last thing Baylor's administration wanted for the case to continue as depositions would have painted all the parties involved in a horrible light. Baylor did not even ask for a written report from its in house investigation to avoid having anything in writing. Baylor was just as guilty as Briles with regards to the cover up. The settlement addresses nothing about Briles' guilt, it was just a legal decision to continue to cover up all the shite that happened. Briles is no victim by any means.

No, just suggesting that the same over reactive attitudes that lead to people being forced to resign over petty issues would be infinitely worse over a series of sexual assaults - so bad that there very well could be collateral damage affecting people that shouldn't be included.

Those details are going to come out anyways as several women have lawsuits against the university.
Why pay a "rape defender" 20 million dollars to save your brand when those details will be laid to bare regardless? That seems like a double hit, the public gets to hear what went down at Baylor and they get to see Baylor pay Briles 20 million dollars for his immoral behavior.
