Again and again it shows how incompetent the ncaa is. While others get the death penalty the P5’s get no sanctions or a slap on the wrist.
That alone should have put baylor on a major probation or even death penalty. This was an orchestrated way of masking drug testing. Last time I checked PED’s are illegal. I mentioned it earlier and the fact that the ncaa has not done anything over this tells you everything.
Hell, after today’s ruling on the UNC case, Baylor should change their policy to allow rape and every other thing they’ve been charged for.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they thought about it prior to this
In a Monday morning legal blow in a Title IX lawsuit filed by 10 former students, a federal judge ordered Baylor University to disclose several years’ worth of certain pieces of medical and counseling records of all female students who reported they were sexually assaulted while attending the school.
The records are “indisputably important,” U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman wrote, to the claims of the 10 women suing Baylor who were allegedly denied educational opportunities after their assaults.
While at Baylor, Browns WR Josh Gordon said he was making $10K a month selling pot
As a sophomore at Baylor he says he was receiving as much as six pounds of weed—vacuum-sealed and wrapped in Mylar, sprayed with kerosene and covered in coffee beans to mask the smell, shipped through U.S. mail—every week from a dealer back home. He would drive to Dallas, Austin and San Antonio to sell it, and he estimates he was bringing in upward of $10,000 in profit every month. He was arrested for possession in fall 2010 and one year later was indefinitely suspended for failing a school drug test.

A native of Houston, Gordon chose Baylor because he couldn’t live outside of the state of Texas as part of a probation agreement after a felony charge of credit card theft. He was suspended in 2010 when he was found asleep in a Taco Bell drive-thru with a teammate. Marijuana was found in the car.

We are pleased to announce that the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) has finalized its review of Baylor University and today officially lifted the University’s warning sanction, which was instituted last December. This is significant news for Baylor.
Baylor did not say in its statement why Tucker was leaving. It said the following, as obtained via KXXV-TV.
During her time at Baylor, Ms. Tucker worked with a team of professionals and attorneys to implement many changes to Baylor’s Title IX processes and policies on behalf of students. The University is grateful for her technical expertise, her support of ongoing strategic initiatives and overall service to Baylor and other campus partners.
“We’ve said all along that the trial judge has been thoughtful, well-reasoned and fair,” Dunnam wrote. “It’s pretty disgusting, Baylor’s almost weekly misinformation to the public claiming to help victims and be transparent, when all they do in court is the exact opposite.”
Dunnam initially called Baylor’s efforts to block the judge’s orders a “made-up issue.”

Red McCombs is pushing for Art to coach at UIW
A motion filed this week in an ongoing federal lawsuit against Baylor University alleges that high-ranking officials – including former president and chancellor Ken Starr – helped a student they knew had been accused of sexual harassment.
The accused student, the motion claims, had a close relationship with Starr and other Baylor leaders, and was employed on campus in a capacity where he oversaw female students and worked on Title IX initiatives. That’s the federal statute that bans discrimination against women on campus.

“It’s our responsibility to educate coaches,” AFCA executive director and former Louisiana Monroe head coach Todd Berry told The Athletic. “Certainly one of the things Coach Briles experienced, and one of the things I believe he’s going to share, is there are some things that happened and he can share an experience no one else can with our group, so that we can avoid issues down the road.
“While there are things you know in theory, the reality is you’re going to gain more from someone who experienced it, that knows what to look for.”
Baylor is claiming the emails that Garland wanted deleted had to do with Big 12 expansion while the plaintiffs are claiming it had to do with covering up evidence.
Trial date is tentatively set for October.
And the beat goes on…
The sexual assault reportedly happened the night of Nov. 11, following a Baylor loss to Texas Tech in Arlington. From the report:
Baylor’s online crime log says the incident was reported on Nov. 14 as “Alcohol-Minors Consuming/Sexual Assault,” and was referred to the school’s Judicial Affairs and Title IX offices, but two heavily redacted police reports obtained by KWTX say only that campus officers took a report of a sexual assault.
KWTX says that both the woman who filed the complaint, called Jane Doe 2, and the woman described as a victim, Jane Doe, are students, while “four to five sources familiar with the incident” say both women are part of the school’s equestrian team. The report also says that four students were interviewed as suspects and, according to the KWTX sources, at least two are football players.
But the filing also discounted a text message conversation that lawyers suing the university had flagged as further evidence of documents being destroyed.
An Aug. 28, 2015, text message between Baylor officials said "Patties[sic] about to talk about shredding documents.” Plaintiffs’ lawyers said in their brief that the message referred to Patty Crawford, Baylor’s Title IX coordinator. Attorneys for the school clapped back Wednesday that the text was about Pattie Orr, then the vice president for information technology and dean of university libraries.
The text was part of a running commentary the officials were making about a school meeting, during which Orr gave a presentation and mentioned document retention, Baylor’s lawyers said.
