re: New Baylor lawsuit cites 52 rapes by football players in 4 years

Who keeps count of 31 football players committing 52 acts of rape? That's super specific. and decides not to go to the police at any point?! That's a hell of an accusation! This is just so far fetched. I'm betting some wild arse kids including multiple football players were having sex parties and someone participating was regretting it and threatening to spill the beans which would get them all in trouble...then out of fear of mommy and daddy finding out, who's paying for their college at a Baptist university...they yelled rape. That sounds more plausible than a culture of christian kids deciding to be serial rapists because some coaches told them its ok.

Yeah.... Listen, I think a lot of rape stats are skewed by the "regret" thing, it is actually pretty common, but in this particular case, you do not end up with 52 rape accusations over a 3 year span and ALL of them are fake. Not happening. There are definitely some real rapes in there, which is evil and terrifying.

No it's not

A Dallas-area high school athlete, according to the suit, said former assistant coach Kendall Briles once asked him, "Do you like white women? Because we have a lot of them at Baylor and they love football players."

here is my real question


if there were 52 rapes including 5 gang rapes

and no one ever went to the police


how do you know there were 52 of them?


the gang rapes is what gets me. i don't see a scenerio where someone reports a gang rape to someonbe and no one at all does anything about it. and it happens 4 more times.

i'm not taking sides, it just doesn't make sense.

i mean with penn state it wasn't a team raping boys it was onbe man. this is different. ;l there wasn't ONE football player that stood up against tnhe gang rapes?


i just want to see this one play out.

Because lots of these cases were reported to campus officials who then offered incentives and NDAs for these girls to not go to the police

This is a brand new allegation that has not been proven. It has come to light by an attorneys filing in a civil lawsuit, which have been shown not to be accurate. It was just a year ago that Baylor was rightfully crucified for taking away the academic scholarship for the student assaulted by Sam U once her grades fell below the requirements.

Add in the TWO Title IX investigators who resigned and are now suing Baylor who both claim they were impeded in their efforts to take cases to the Waco PD and their claims that the Waco PD was unresponsive to the complaints they did make, you have an environment that would be hostile to making official complaints.

---

The two Title IX employees resigned because they felt Baylor was impeding in their ability to conduct fair investigations and that the school was scapegoating the football team for an institution problem.

"The view was that football was made to be a convenient scapegoat, and if football was thrown under the bus, they wouldn't have to deal with it anymore," Dunn said. "She's certainly not suggesting that there wasn't a problem with football or that it wasn't heinous that what was happening. But the thought that we could just fire a couple football people and clean up the football program and the problem was solved -- that's not right."

Crazy that Baylor is getting thrown under the bus....

Haven't read much about this case(s) other than this thread. What are the chances we are looking at Duke Lax 2.0?

None. We have had 2 players found guilty of sexual assault.

Tevin Elliot is a TPOS and deserves to rot in jail. Sam U is also a TPOS; however, he has a solid chance at winning his appeal for a new trial due to misconduct by the prosecutor when she misled the court and the jury on key evidence in his trial.

Additionally, this is a school wide issue. Not a football team specific issue. The former Title IX Coordinator resigned after saw the administration try and paint this as a football team problem and not an institutional problem.

Baylor, at an institutional level, did not provide adequate resources for the Title IX department to investigate claims of sexual assault. Thus causing students to be found not guilty by the Title IX department but guilty in the court of law. The resources have now been put in place by Baylor, better late than never.
