However the precedent that very few with ties to the program committing heinous acts and being protected seemingly by both the coaches and administration very much fits the bill for what has occurred at Baylor.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that one guy molesting literally dozens of kids over a pretty long time is a bit more heinous compared to two convicted football players that sexually assaulted women their own age.
Both disgusting, but even the prison systems hold child molesters as lesser individuals.

Can't compare this with Penn State.
But the biggest travesty of this, and where Briles and his staff are at fault, is that Briles took a risk on kids with a history. Oakman was kicked out of Penn State for shoplifting and then assaulting the cashier. Ukwachwu was kicked out of Boise State for allegations of domestic violence. And of course these guys found themselves in trouble yet again after briles gave them a 2nd chance.
Even worse, after new incidents involving these players arose in Waco, they both remained on scholarship and on campus with other students. That is the worst part of this.

I'm not arguing which is more heinous. Both sets of acts were conducted with the person(s) receiving more protection than the victim. Both showed that the University held athletics higher than a vulnerable part.of the school/community. The precedent is very comparable.
Comparatively not baking a homosexual a cake and not allowing a homosexual in a business are different degrees of injustice, but both fall under the same precedent in regards to commerce and civil rights.
Victims were vulnerable in both. The accused were protected in both. Sex crimes and assault in both. Coach and admins knew but kept person(s) around in both. Yes Penn State was worse but the precedent is very much the same. Could the punishment be less because the actions are not as heinous, yes. The precedent has been set though that the NCAA most certainly can hammer Baylor even if it was only one or a few.
