well this (and the AD resigning) makes sense now

Yep. It's getting burnt to the ground

I guess the next question will be how long until those that see blood in the water move to ensure that Starr also doesn't teach at the law school?

Holy shite, Starr's quotes from the OTL piece today were amazing. "I believe the students love Uncle Ken."

I was listening to Sirius 84 on the way to lunch and they made it sound like Starr had completely left Baylor...
One comment and a question:
You would have thought after everything he went through with the Clintons, he would have learned that transparency is essential in a case like this
Does the Board of Regents at Baylor have some sort of higher authority like the Southern Baptist Convention?

Good grief.

good good. Starr gone (outside of his tenure position at the Law School, which probably won't last long), Briles gone, McCaw gone, and multiple football and admin assistants gone.

His press conference is a dumpster fire. Holy God.

What an idiot to say those things on his appearance . How dumb is Baylor to let him continue to speak on their behalf. Lulz.

In general the Baptist Church doesn't operate with a central power like the Catholic Church. There isn't a diocese or anything to report to.

No.
Back in the 1970's their Board of Regents was appointed by the Baptist General Convention of Texas (BGCT, the Texas state convention which at that time was affiliated with the SBC).
However, in the late 1970's and early 1980's the SBC (nationally and in Texas) was in the middle of a battle over control between "moderates" and "conservatives" (or "liberals" and "fundamentalists", depending on the source). BGCT tried to appoint Regents who were on the conservative wing.
In response, Baylor (which is actually older than the BGCT) changed (legally) its nominating process: now the Board nominates the majority of its replacements.
(Later the "moderate" wing would form a new Southern Baptist group, the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, and the BGCT would ironically affiliate with them instead of the conservatives)

Correct. Any Baptist affiliations are voluntary. And Baptists are notorious for church splits (my pastor friend told me of a church where he was pastoring, that split over whether to place exterior sign lighting above or below the sign)

J/k, btw. Sis took me to a game there last season (Rice). Y'all got some very nice digs. Beats the ever living shite out of Floyd Casey (stating the obvious there, I know).

Based on reactions from the Baylor fans I know towards starr, I have a hard time seeing him being able to stick it out as a tenured professor. They will make his life hell.
