re: What in the world is going down in Waco? (Update: Player found guilty of sexual assault)

Ken Starr and Art Briles are some slimy mofos.

Here's an article by the Waco Tribune. I think it's a crap article that protects themselves from the fact that they didn't mention anything about this case for a year.

Baylor looks terrible.

While the Baylor aspect is certainly worrisome and scandalous, but truly baffles me with this whole case his how light the guy's sentence is. 6 months jail time and a decade probation for a felony sexual assault conviction? WTF? It's like getting a $15 parking ticket for going 90 MPH in a school zone and blowing a .35.

So in the last few seasons FSU has had a Heisman winning QB get off scott free on sexual assault and now a RB gets off with nothing for battery. Seems to be a rampant character issue with most major programs if you look at the list.

so that makes it fricking ok for it to happen at baylor? do you even see how ridiculous that is?

Ex-Florida officials: We wouldn't take Ukwuachu because of past

Although Baylor coach Art Briles maintains he did not know about Sam Ukwuachu's past history of violence against a woman at Boise State before accepting him as a transfer, at least one other school did.

Florida considered taking Ukwuachu in May 2013, but then-Gators coach Will Muschamp decided against it after a Boise State athletic department employee detailed Ukwuachu's troubles with a girlfriend, according to two former Florida athletic department employees.

That included the former freshman All-America defensive end's alleged physical abuse of his girlfriend and an allegation that Ukwuachu put his fist through a window while drunk at the couple's home, one of the ex-staffers said. (Ukwuachu was not charged in either incident.)

"There was no way," one of the former Florida employees told The Inside Read of Ukwuachu. "[Muschamp] wouldn't touch him."

During Ukwuachu's trial, his girlfriend at Boise State testified that he punched her in the head several times, choked her, physically restrained her from leaving and had a violent temper. Ukwuachu denied those allegations.

"Just a bad situation," one of the former Florida staffers said. "It just wasn't good."

Ukwuachu also wasn't completely forthcoming with Florida about his relationship with his former girlfriend, the former Gators athletic department employee said. But the Boise State athletic department employee was clear about Ukwuachu's issues, according to the former Florida staffer.

Said the ex-Florida official: "There was absolutely no doubt."

so apparently he didnt have a violent incident at boise? huh...

does this change anything? it obviously doesnt when considering how the school handled the rape and people will be fired but im wondering if this changes anything for briles

Thayer Evans is an idiot.

Bosie released this statement saying they had no idea SU was violent towards women at BSU.

That should shut a lot of people up concerning what Briles knew.

Maybe now we can move on to figuring out how Baylor failed this girl so badly in its investigation and getting THAT fixed.
