Well maybe you shouldn't be so bad at reading. Let me help you out a bit. That article doesn't say what you're saying it says. It does not say that there were 1,000 reports of sexual harassment against (or by) UT employees and faculty. It says that UT employees and faculty received 1,000 complaints that include sexual harassment and assault. It goes on to say that in many of the cases the respondent (i.e., the one who allegedly committed the offense) was not affiliated with the university. UT employees must file reports an all reports of sexual harassment, assault, etc. that they receive, including those cases when a student reports to a faculty member that someone who has nothing to do with UT assaulted them.

Again, the article is saying that there were 1,000 reports made to UT employees. Not that the employees were involved in the incident that was reported. You're making things worse, not better, with this hysterical display.

Thanks for the correction (honestly) but LMFAO that "only" 1,000 reports of sexual (and other) harassment had been made to UT staff (including complaints against faculty). 

According to our own 2017 survey, less than 25% of these things are even reported. You confirmed what I am trying to point out. 

We have a giant fucking problem but only seem to want to point fingers at other schools' issues from 7-25 years ago. WTF. How 'bout we clean up our own shit first? Join me with our current problem or do you still need to shit on other schools for stupid crap their admins / coaches did then that are no longer there? Our present issue or someone else's past shit? Your call, pal.

Baylor, more than any other school in the conference, is deathly afraid of being left behind and regulated to irrelevance in the cesspool college sports has become. It is why, they have made sure there are no Bibles in the room when they execute  various versions of their by any means necessary strategy. They will build anything, pay any price, cross any line to remain relevant. Be it athletics or academics, Baylor will do what it takes to be at the table and not on the menu.

Take the loss, pussy.

Where is our "Texas is the New Rape U" thread? Couldn't find it.  

If this was happening now to your family, you wouldn't be so cavalier. Really.

[Bama Chick 28596]

There is no defense for what they did. They fired their President. They fired their AD. They fired their Head Coach. We survey 7,500 of our own students. We then produce a report that shows that 1,000 of our own schools girls being sexually assaulted. And all we do is call it "Unacceptable" but no one is fired? Now THAT is unacceptable. 
We always save the best for last, right? The "report" then says "call the Title IX" department. LOL. You want to know what happens when you call that number? A whole lot of fucking nothing. That's what. 
 
My point is that at least Baylor had the balls to account for it. We don't do shit but that doesn't stop the idiots here from always pointing the finger north of us when our problem is 10-20x bigger when it comes to actual human lives destroyed.
Now YOU get the fuck outta here, Asshole.

Now I’m no Texas fan but what in the ever loving hell are you on about?

Baylor didn’t have the “balls to account” for shit. They got caught. Period.

And, guess what? Sexual assault and rape are a problem on every college campus. You know why? Because sexual assault and rape are a problem with American men - fuck, with men the world wide.

There’s a special place in hell for rapists.

But there’s an equally special place for the powerful men AND women who cover up and enable the systems that allow rapists to flourish.

Your whatabouting two completely different situations.

I agree campus rape is an enormous and pervasive issue. 

Our "fans" (none of my buds) feel the urge to call out Baylor as RapeU while we have a culture where 1,000 women a year are raped on our campus. That's called hypocrisy. And there is another special place in hell for hypocrites. 

Baylor's idiot administration (all of whom were fired) let all that happen on their watch. May they all burn in hell. However, we have our own massive issue that continues and no one has the balls to follow McRaven's "drive to zero" plan. Oh, and our Title IX department is a total joke. Hard to serve up video or audio confirmation of being raped after being roofied, don't you think? And, as a "girl", I am sure you would agree with this, right?

We have a rape problem. In what I have now learned over the past few weeks, we haven't learned anything. But let's keep calling Baylor RapeU while our sisters/nieces/cousins and (yup) daughters have a 1 in 8 chance of being raped while in Austin.

Relax. No need to get personal. I have begrudging respect for Baylor’s chutzpah. You’re better at the this than most schools. The whole pimping white girls out to rural, unsophisticated black high schoolers was one of the most cynically racist recruiting tactics ever employed by a school. The tragedy is that it worked a bit for Baylor, even if players and coeds paid the ultimate price.

you need to move on, you are a blathering idiot and you aren't making any sense in this thread. Sorry someone dateraped your cousin/niece whatever. That doesn't mean UT is just a rapin' away in the AD and covering it up. It's statistically probably the same amount of rape as everywhere else with the same demographic makeup. It's not an excuse, but there have been many policies put into place to try to lower the risk of rape and educate people on campus about what sexual assault is. 

This also isn't a fucking rape discussion thread, it's a god damned bowl game thread. Get back on topic or go post in the literal baylor rape thread that exists.

Baylor rape came up because Baylor’s football program is known for systemic rape. That’s right, your school. Whatever your deflection about Texas students is, it belongs on something OTHER than the football board. Stop defending rape.

Texas, as a program, is down sometimes. When we’re down, like in the ‘50s, ‘80s and ‘10s, programs like Baylor and TCU (and SMU and Rice, back in the day) get to make hay. 
There is a reason Texas has an overall winning record over every SWC and Big 12 school (and every SEC school exceptVandy😄). 
There is a reason Texas, even after a miserable decade, is sixth all time in college football wins. 
Texas will be fine.

You’re mocking us for shortcomings in athletics. We are pointing out that you’re rape-enabling pieces of shit. I get that you’re still mad that the band got broken up and that everyone saw what you people would blindly accept. You’re a terrible human. There is no excuse for that.

Can we, Baylor people, stop this now.  A lot of these posts are exactly why a lot of us don't hang out with the whiny, "sky is falling" when it's bad, "we're super bad ass and everyone else sucks" when it's good Baylor boards.  Take the win and season in a sportsmanlike manner and whatever jabs that come from the past on the chin and brush them off.  The things that happened were unacceptable, they happened, we dealt with it and now trying to move on.  

And, yes, Texas and OU leaving is going to hurt.  But, the world is not over and we will deal with whatever happens.

[statsman 5474]

I’m sorry, Bearschlong. It’s a Baylor rule that the rape scandal is never discussed except in terms of “Baylor dealt with it and it’s over”. It’s not a rule for anyone else. We still see a school and program that worked and paid its ass off to keep details hidden from light. That’s very telling about the character of an institution and its proponents.

It's that they won the Big 12, won the Sugar Bowl, and still nobody really cares about them.

The other Texas Big 12 schools are so weird. They have such an inferiority complex. It's unhealthy. I root for most of them, most of the time, when they aren't playing us. We have floated many of them financially for many years. Try being grateful for a change, you rape defenders.

Just came across this.  If you want to know what the real secret sauce is for Baylor and Drew, Jay Bilas spells it out here.  

 

  1. Baylor Bears


The Bears have been the biggest surprise of the 2021-22 season. The surprise is not that Baylor is really good, but that the Bears may actually be the nation's best team. Remember, Baylor lost Davion Mitchell, MaCio Teague, Jared Butler and Mark Vital from the team that dominated Gonzaga in the national championship game. Yet Baylor has a suffocating defense (ask Villanova) and efficient offense (ask Michigan State), both ranked in the top five in the country. Those who were role players last season are headliners this season, and freshmen Kendall Brown and Jeremy Sochan are legit performers on the big stage.

Baylor is not going unbeaten this year -- no team will. And Baylor will not keep the top spot in The Bilas Index all season long -- no team will. But Baylor will challenge for it all again because of its team defense, established winning culture, collective servant leadership attitude, and its players who have sacrificed and developed together. Along with Gonzaga and Villanova, Baylor has been the most impressive riser in the past 20 years.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The bolded part has to come from the top.  It unquestionably does with Drew (and also with Jerome Tang). It is genuine and encompasses all areas of life for the team.  Maybe there are other ways to establish a culture that wins, I don't know.  All I can tell you is that Drew and Tang are the real deal.  You can dismiss that or you can figure out how to emulate it.  That's your call.

You agree with Lincoln Riley's rumored excuse that he was not "consulted" by OU brass on the Big12 - to - SEC departure? That can't be true, right? I go back and forth as to whether or not I believe it. More likely, Mrs. Riley wanted to move away from all the candy he's been tasking in and around Norman. Although I'm not sure moving to LA makes that better. In fact, quite the opposite. LOL.

Not a home or road sellout, not a national broadcast on the schedule. Maybe he’ll look at that and think, “This is why I stayed. This is just what I pointed my career at.”

Actually, that looks like a fast track to a playoff spot to me.    Some combo of OSU, UH, ISU, and Cincy will be ranked high enough to validate the schedule.   If you run through that and go 12-0 or even 11-1 and win the B12 CCG, you're almost certainly in the playoff. 

No 'bama, Georgia, LSU, or even OU; that road seems doable.

Baylor fans want so desperately to be aggy.  Think about that for a second lol.

I was talking to a very wealthy Baylor alum over the holidays. He was very excited to say that Aranda loved Waco because he could perpetually go 7-5 there and the fanbase would be just fine with it. They have no real delusions of grandeur like aggy.
