I agree with Finebaum, I doubt that it happens though.
At some point, I keep thinking that this thread will die off because stuff will stop coming out…I’m not sure when that will be though. Have to figure that the Big 12 head honchos have to be getting tired off this stuff:
Baylor AD: I worry internal clashes could affect search for new coach
http://coachingsearch.com/article?a=Baylor-AD-Mack-Rhoades-I-worry-internal-clashes-could-affect-search-for-new-coach
The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that the NCAA will not use executive authority to sanction Baylor for the sexual assault scandal, but will follow its normal investigative process. Any candidate for the job will be concerned about any penalties or if more reports come out.

Drayton McLane among Baylor alumni lashing out at school’s lack of leadership
Leaders of the group stopped short of calling for mass resignations of the board or for donors to stop giving money to the school but were adamant in their call for leadership changes at the school, which is without a president after the recent departure of former Whitewater prosecutor Kenneth Starr.
When asked if it was interested in reinstating Briles, the group in attendance made noise as well.
“I’m going to tell you that I’ve found him to be a man of great integrity, but I don’t want to get off on the wrong focus here,” Williams said. “Our focus is leadership at the board level. That’s where we really need to focus.”
Baylor donors call for transparency, reform of board of regents
Murff’s letter also noted that the university announced the creation of a new Governance Review Task Force to “assess and recommend improvements in how the governing board can improve its practices, procedures and selection process.”
Williams dismissed the university’s task force at the rally, saying, “The best way to make a great idea die, is to give it to a committee,” invoking a round of laughter from the crowd.
And…there’s this:
Baylor’s Kendal Briles, NCAA discuss potential recruiting infractions
The NCAA says Briles had improper contact with a recruit. Baylor officials are attempting to get the level of infractions reduced, a source said. Specific details about the alleged violations weren’t immediately known.
Winning football games overshadows helping Baylor victims

“I still believe the school can be better and stronger, a safe place for everyone,” said the woman, who transferred to the University of Houston last year. “But they have a long way to go. Right now, I don’t feel like there are very many in the Baylor family who care about us at all.”
This is a guy they hired after they cleaned house…
Baylor still covering up:
Two women who reported being gang raped by multiple football players in 2012 reached a financial settlement Tuesday with Baylor University, and their cases are in addition to any specific sexual assaults previously described in the media. The terms of the settlement with the university were undisclosed and the women never filed a lawsuit. No details about the nature of the assaults, the players involved or the women who reported the rapes were released. One of the two women also reported being physically assaulted by a football player in 2013. In a joint statement issued by the women’s attorneys and the university, Baylor Interim President David E. Garland confirmed that neither the football players implicated in these reported sexual assaults, nor the athletic department personnel identified as having received the report of physical assault in 2013, are a part of the university any longer.

Baylor Regent: Getting A Full Report Would Have Cost Us Money
“Pepper Hamilton is an oral report so the process of writing would take four to six months. Also with the personal nature of the information so much of it would be redacted. Plus, the cost would be a factor,” Wilson said.
Liberty, Baylor reach different conclusions about alleged gang-rape
In hiring former Baylor Athletic Director Ian McCaw, Liberty University officials apparently rejected the claims of Baylor regents that McCaw failed to report a nine-month-old gang-rape allegation.
The university announced Monday that it hired McCaw to succeed Jeff Barber, who announced on Nov. 17 that he was resigning effective immediately.
“We concluded after our investigation that Ian McCaw did not attempt to hide the sexual assault that was reported but, instead, had one of his coaches report it to Judicial Affairs at Baylor in 2013, in accordance with Baylor’s policies and procedures at the time. The victim did not want the incident reported to police so Judicial Affairs was the only place the incident could have been reported at that time,” Liberty University President Jerry Falwell, Jr., said in a question-and-answer session with the school’s news service.
We’re warily encouraged that a few Baylor regents have recently indicated that the board is looking at releasing more information from the report. Perhaps that will include answering the two questions that we posed to them Nov. 10. (See accompanying box for more detail.)
Odds are this lawsuit will end in a settlement long before any jury hears it. But before then, much can happen that impacts the reputations of Briles, the four defendants and Baylor.
Accreditation group gives ‘warning’ to Baylor University
http://www.chron.com/news/texas/article/Accreditation-group-gives-warning-to-Baylor-10789470.php
Baylor said in a statement it was notified by the Southern Association of College and Schools earlier this month that it will monitor the university’s compliance with three standards: whether university student support services are adequate, institutional control of intercollegiate athletics is firm and a healthy, safe and secure student environment is being maintained.
The regents, a board of 32 voting members that is the official governing body of the school, took up the issue after the Pepper Hamilton investigation was publicly questioned. Bears for Leadership Reform, a group that has been seeking more transparency from the regents, was among those calling for a new independent investigation into sexual assault allegations.
While I expect the Department of Education to hit them with Title IX violations, I wonder if they also violated the Clery Act which is what cost Penn St a bunch of money this year for their scandal.
