Petersen's statement doesn't tell anyone exactly what transpired - I do think Briles should not have invoked his name this morning unless he was 100% sure Petersen would back his side of the story. Looks like Petersen is trying to walk a line between backing Briles (or at least not flatly contradicting him) and making sure his own reputation (and Boise's, because I'm sure he still holds that school close to him) is left unsullied.
Yep. This is exactly what he is trying to do.

I think that's a reasonable explanation for what might have come out of the phone call between Briles and Petersen. Unfortunately, it doesn't explain the apparent negligence in everything that happened after that phone call, and that's going to be the bigger issue for Briles/Baylor IMO.
WTF where they thinking allowing the accused rapist and victim to be in the same classes and tutoring sessions.
I am of the strong belief no college should have an internal system to investigate sexual assault, and Baylor's ultimate deferral to the criminal justice system to handle the case feels exactly like the right move to make. It doesn't take very long to see the serious problems colleges are getting into by holding their own kangaroo courts where they try and perform the duties of the criminal justice system, where they wrongly punish individuals because they aren't properly trained and don't have the legal authority to legitimately conduct and investigation.

yea, looking past football, whoever made that decision needs to be let go.
I'm sorry, I get the whole innocent until proven guilty thing but it's ridiculous that they couldn't come up with a better solution than what boils down to "Well if you don't want to be in a class with him, you need to change yourself." (at least this is going by the Texas Monthly article)

I don't think a University can afford NOT to have one in this day and age of Title IX investigations. Actually Title IX may legally obligate them (or at least make it practically necessary) to have one. But, as a good double edged sword, heaven forbid the internal investigation turns up nothing and then the accused is found guilty. Almost as bad - when the internal investigation leads to removal of the accused and then the criminal justice system finds no wrongdoing.
