The silver lining out of the whole Bungling Boren show in October.

52 rapes by 31 football players. Silly Louisville. Why pay for hookers?

Here's the latest lawsuit.

The Big 12 needs to let Baylor find a new conference.

I wouldn't be surprised if the conference broke up and they ended up out of p-5 opportunities because of the scandal. They are toxic and the way they have handled themselves had made it much worse. Reminds me of how a church would cover up a molesting priest.

I'm curious, IF the Big 12 were to actually try to get rid of Baylor how would it be achieved? I've got no clue what the Big 12 rules are on that kind of thing, or if they even have any.

Baylor to cusa

Have these incidents all been confirmed or are they just allegations?

AAC will snatch them up as fast as possible if available. Baylor, SMU, Houston, and say add Rice and they actually have a decent number of fans in Texas. Baylor's AD is light years ahead of any school in those conferences as far as facilities and strength across the board.

As it is, Baylor proved they are guilty for covering up. Title 9 funds go bye-bye, accreditation could go bye bye, and they could be kicked out of the NCAA and so forth. This is out of control issue on Baylor's part which they mishandled the whole situation.

Houston and SMU will absolutely say no. I can guarantee that.

Baylor got into a P league by politics and runs the nation's shadiest AD to stay there

They better go to chapel and pray hard that the B12 never breaks up or kicks them out because no power league is ever letting them in again

Baylor has a sugar daddy who got $680M for selling the Houston Astros. Throwing that kind of money around will keep them in play.

Good luck with that.

It's funny that you pretend you could block Baylor. No way that would ever happen. The reality is Baylor would deliver yearly beatings to SMU and Houston in most sports because thier AD has long since surpassed those at SMU and Houston.

Baylor would be added to the ACC in a heartbeat if they were available. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried going indy before taking the g-5 plunge. The only school that wants to be in the AAC is Tulsa, every other school tried to leave last year.

At this point SMU is a non factor anyway and in no position to be calling shots for the conference. Adding Baylor and Rice would be about the best scenario possible for the AAC at this point.

I agree. I was just pointing out that I don't think the other 9 presidents are really tied to being associated with Baylor.


But they have $ and a strong AD overall. That is always worth something.

And I agree with you about Baylor and the Big 12. I don't think anyone has allegiance to Baylor. I would expect Baylor to file every lawsuit possible to prevent other programs from leaving the Big 12, or to delay a break-up of the Big 12.

Turn it around, and a weakened Big 12, minus Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and maybe one other, is accepting new member applications. I think Renu Khator and Tillman Fertitta would be in Waco in a minute pitching the Coogs. And everyone in the AAC West (except Navy), C-USA West, plus MWC and Sunbelt members would be calling, too.

or Penn state, covering for a molesting coach

I'm sure there is some mechanism in the B12 bylaws that provide for removing a member.

When the B12 went below 10 members, they were in very real danger of losing a lot of money from the media partners. They got TCU to renege on their future deal with the oBE and WV went nuclear to get out of the oBE. After last years expansion circus, there are still a lot of hurt feelings out there. I'm not sure how many schools would be interested in the B12.

The B12 GoR, media, and membership contracts are all intertwined. If you kick a school out you may be opening a crack that would allow some other schools to escape.

I always thought the ACC would be a potential home for Baylor. Lots of private schools in that conference, including a Baptist school (Wake).

With the ACC getting bad pub from recent addition Louisville on the hooker scandal, I'm not so sure anymore that the ACC will be an option for Baylor. Murder + rape leaves prostitution in the dust.

The Pac 12 is not an option even before the Baylor scandals, based on religion alone. After the scandals, there is no way that Stanford associates themselves with Baylor.

Baylor doesn't fit the Big 10 profile, and the SEC already has a school in the Brazos valley (A&M).
