In other shocking news, the sun confirms that it is yellow and hot.

And it rose today...from the east!

Am I just cynical or does it seem likely that everyone will make a big deal out of what happened by expressing their outrage and disdain only to have absolutely nothing happen to Baylor, despite the seriousness.

MAYBE a loss of a few scholarships and a couple year ban from bowls, but nothing substantial.

I'm not sure what the NCAA will end up doing, but - with the upcoming breakup of the Big 12 pending - Baylor will absolutely not be taken in by any of the other power conferences. They are currently radioactive with all of the pending Title IX violations. That, in itself, may more of a long-term punishment than any thing the NCAA could hand down (minus the death penalty), as the lost potential revenues, partnerships and affiliations would be quite the consequence for a school that clearly valued a top-notch football program over the safety and well-being of student-athletes.

You say that. But looking at some of Baylor's football recruits, the investigation is apparently not widely known.

Well I (for one) am outraged and full of disdain over this...... Abilene Christian should not be allowed to field intramural sports for one whole year because of this disgrace!

Nothing shocking here to report!!

If it were true that the Big 12 were likely to break up, then I would agree this is probably true.

But it's not at all true that the Big 12 is likely to break up. On message boards, maybe. But in the real world, there's zero evidence of it.

For this statement to be valid, at least one of two things have to be true:

- Baylor knew that the recruits who are alleged to have committed and/or have been convicted of sexual assault, would perform those crimes, and still brought them to Waco anyway.
- Baylor knew that after the cover ups/letting off the hook of the student-athletes was completed, those student-athletes would go on to perform additional assaults


The first case is absurd, and pretty darn offensive, of a claim to make. Hope you have some pretty solid evidence there.
The second case ... did that even happen?? The point is, if the player they brought in did an assault, and they then did a cover up, if that player never did another assault after that, you can't say that they did the cover up without thinking of the well being of the students.
