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

You mean shady shite is going on in waco? Shocker

We are talking about the athletic program that had David fricking bliss as a coach

But, but, but, we're a good Christian school!

They lost all credibility when they let that dude play on their womens basketball team.

The reason they were so bad for so long is that they had character standards that their students had to meet, they got tired of losing and dropped those standards, their trial balloon was the basketball team, they took in a lot of risk players and it paid off.

They then relaxed the standards for football, taking in a lot of character risks and it has paid off as well. But it will come crashing down eventually

It starts with the head coaches, Drew and Briles are both slime. Gary Patterson and Art Briles get compared to each other a lot but Patterson to me seems like a decent man outside of football while Briles comes across as a snake oil salesman.

Very interesting theory. Probably spot on.

this reporter is covering the trial. Looks like its gone to the jury.

I'm no fan of Baylor but that article is really bias.

Silence at Baylor is the name of the article which the author is quoted-

"No one questioned it because no one outside of Baylor knew."

"It took eight months for Ukwuachu to be indicted, but that indictment also went unreported for more than a year."

Baylor is a private school, but Texas law does not shield arrests at private schools. Everything was public record, " Yet still, it would seem no local reporters on the Baylor beat managed to make the trip to the downtown courthouse to type the name “Ukwuachu” to confirm if the rumors were true."That is not on Baylor, that is on the press.

Second Transparency was further muddled when Laborde(DA) filed for, and received, a gag order preventing herself, Sibley, or Ukwuachu from talking to the press. In fact, almost no one connected with the case was willing to speak on the record.

So Baylor had an investigation made everything public, but no one from the press made a public record request and then the DA's office got a gag order.

I have a problem with people getting upset at universities that do nothing about sexual assault cases, when they haven't been convicted of the crime. We have all seen what has happened at both Duke & UVA.

What did Baylor do wrong? He hasn't been convicted of a crime; yet he hasn't played a down in the two years while at Baylor. What if he is found innocent?

I never see them compared to each other, except for the fact that they're both head football coaches at "small" Christian schools in Texas.
