re: Baylor has fired Art Briles

But several SEC schools have brought in players with sexual assault or domestic violence in their background

Yep. Among others

There isn't a problem if numerous recruits are bring accused rape? After two have been convicted of rape?

Might want to reread the post I responded to

Thanks for ignoring the greater narrative.

the greater narrative regarding academics or sexual assault?

quote:

---

think when the report comes out briles will look far worse than he is being portrayed by his supporters

---

May be, but I havent seen anything damning yet. Just a lot of "I think"

He well may be guilty of a cover up. But i get the sneaking suspicions this was about recruiting violations and Baylor made Bryles the rape scapegoat to cover their arse

quote:

---

He let his program get to this point. He is either clueless or compliant and neither is any good

---

Hes done wonders and runs a winning program. Im not sure how much accountability HCs should have in these instances, I mean johnny manziel came to A&M with a known criminal record and had several offenses at the school. Winston at FSU was known for sexual abuse and theft yet his coach stood by him

He signed off on the transfers no matter what he has said publicly

Supposedly the cover up is what tipped the scales against him

What example is a cultural problem of rape? If you can prove multiple rape coverrups happening over years, with Bryles knowledge ill buy it.

---

the fact that we are just now learning of rapes that supposedly happened years ago? That in the very report that cost art Briles his job, the victims say that Baylor administration pressured them to not come forward? The fact that he openly accepted transfers who had a past history of sexual assault, only to have them commit rape while at Baylor and not act on it until the media got a hold of it? Once again. Who cares if he knew. It was his program and, if he didn't know, he didn't have enough control to keep this from happening. That alone is a firing offense

Rape among student athletes is fairly common but is covered up very well, usually by boosters

---

and it's up to him to have control over his program so this doesn't happen

quote:

---

Its not easy for one guy to have control over 85 20 year olds.

---

and yet, you don't see shite like this happening often. Seems like most coaches can do it

quote:

---

Covering up rape for a head coach is a high risk, low reward thing unless you're talking about a game changer, like Winston

---

and who cares. It was his program, it's up to him to have control over it
