Briles sues Baylor - Bring on the Conflagration
- Thread starter CNECloneFan
- Start date
If the NCAA doesn't drop the hammer on Baylor, they're never going to drop the hammer again.
This is like the football version of "spotlight". I'm guessing there is still a lot to be uncovered.
Baylor: "Oh, please Mr. NCAA, don't punish us. We fired that bad bad man and everything is okay!"
NCAA: "Alrighty then, cool."

Turns out old Art is a really bad person. At this point, this seems as bad as Penn State.
Perfect example of what you get when you give someone ultimate power with no willingness to abide by societal norms. Baylor wanted wins and was (is) willing to do anything to get the wins. The whole "we want Briles back" movement by donors is the most disturbing aspect of this. The donors were all but saying they were fine with the crimes as long was they got the "W."
What makes this any different from SMU? Both are system-wide, years-long efforts to win at any cost...shut it down.

The Local sports talk guys here in Omaha yesterday were discussing this and said if the Big 12 does not use this opening to dump Baylor from the conference, then the whole conference will suffer (image-wise) and we will be the conference that sees no wrong in ongoing sexual abuse and covering it up for the sake of football. I believe they may be absolutely right.
I know Mr. Bowlsby has to act on facts and not allegations, so this may not happen right away, but in the end I think this could be the start of Baylor being out of the Big 12 and at that point going independent would be their only option. If that happens, who would even want to schedule a game with them? For the sake of all those girls, if these cases can be proven then we can only hope for a fitting punishment. But for now we just have to watch and let the facts come out.

Given what is known and suspected, he would probably have a harder time finding such a job than he would a college coaching job.
