Enough is enough. This school does not deserve football. The Big 12 should abhor Baylor as a football member. And the NCAA should recoil from this warped manifestation of the sports-above-all-wink-wink culture that pervades college athletics and that, according to these allegations in the seventh Title IX lawsuit directed at this football program , found its most depraved form.
Now we have two voices via major news outlets going after Baylor. The best way to get Baylor is to go after their sponsors, including the small12 sponsors. You and many others have rightly pointed this out.
I will send my little message to Reiter expressing the same point. Two major outlets is better than none.

The motion detailing the letter says the importance of information behind the Pepper Hamilton needs to be public for the suit to proceed. Baylor has argued that all information unrelated to the plaintiffs in the pending suits shouldn’t be released because of privacy concerns.
Waco Trib goes a little bit more in depth in regards to the last article. Not a good look for Baylor as they repeatedly stated that Pepper Hamilton was only brought into investigate.
“(Baylor regents) turn around and selectively disclose pieces of this very information that they say is attorney-client privileged, repeatedly, when it suits their needs,” Dunnam said. “That’s the opposite of transparency. That’s manipulating the disclosure of information in order to fit a narrative that they concocted that this was only a football problem and to shield the senior administrators that they refuse to identify.”

Thank you for posting Patrick. So there is actually an ncaa Commission to Combat Campus Sexual Violence?
So a commission for what? To speak and make people aware of campus sexual violence? I always thought that the ncaa has to do with Collegiate athletics?
So the same group wants to propose solutions or what they/ncaa could do? We all know what the solution is in the Baylor case. It is crystal clear without a doubt.
Could this be hypocrisy at its highest definition? In case nothing happens all of the members should be called out.

The Big 12 has hired a third party to conduct its verification review of Baylor of required changes to the school’s “athletics procedures and to institutional governance of its intercollegiate athletics programs.” That review began last month. The Big 12 is withholding 25 percent of Baylor’s revenue distribution pending the outcome of the review.
“I just really don’t want to get into forecasting,” Bowlsby said. “I don’t think we’re talking years. But there are some components of it frankly that are going to go on for some time, there are pending legal issues that certainly are not going to be resolved quickly.”
hmmmm…Nothing’s changing
TT: I know there’s a segment of the Baylor community that feels like the school was almost unfairly maligned. That there were problems at Baylor, but also problems across the country and that one school is being singled out. What do you tell people when you hear that?
LL: Clearly these issues of sexual violence are problems around the country, but we have to look at what we are doing. We hope that we are in a much better place — and we certainly are. We are a different university than we were one, two, three, five years ago. We will continue to learn and get better at these things and also hope that other universities can learn from what we have gone through. We hope that the recommendations that were provided to us can be a roadmap for other institutions.

David Garland spent his last day as interim president of Baylor University telling a Waco attorney he does not know why the school was investigated for its institutional responses to sexual violence, nor was he curious to learn, according to a deposition filed in a Title IX lawsuit against Baylor.
Ex-Baylor president David Garland reported no campus sexual assaults from 2008-10
Former Baylor interim president David Garland said he filed annual reports in from 2008 to 2010 to the Department of Education that stated there were no sexual assaults on Baylor’s campus during a 20-month span in which he was the university’s interim president.
Hmmm…the only issue with this is that they only have to give information about assaults that they say were reported to them.
In May of 2016, a law firm’s investigation found “fundamental failure” in Baylor’s Title IX implementation, according to the board of regents. The school has since replaced its president, athletic director, head football coach and coaching staff, and has implemented other changes.
Have they fixed the Title IX issues?
Uncle Drayton opening his wallet again to sweep it under a rug.
But even though Shillinglaw dropped the Dallas County lawsuit, 116th State District Judge Tonya Parker conducted a hearing, rejected Shillinglaw’s request for arbitration and granted Baylor’s summary judgment motion, dismissing the suit with prejudice and precluding it from being refiled.
Screw Baylor, but they did make a good hire in Rhule:
