what I am talking about is that it is much more difficult for a UNIVERSITY to be accused of a coverup when the university does not take on the job of the police and instead facilitates the immediate reporting of serious allegations of crime to the nearest and largest law enforcement agency in the area that would have the least possible chance to be influenced by the university
but even after all of this stuff with Baylor and with other schools being accused of covering up one of more rapes there are still many universities that will attempt to be the first investigators or accusations or rape or domestic violence or other crimes (even ones that happen off campus)
of the two Baylor students that have been convicted out of three trials so far one of them had serious allegations against them from Penn State that were never full investigated and seemed to end with them being kicked out of school and the same with the Baylor player from Boise
it is just as easy for a university to be sued when they refuse a student or kick a player off of a team (especially when playing college sports is wrongly viewed as a right or a job by many people that will never have a pro sports career) when there is never a conviction or even a major case field and all the more so when the incidents happened at another school
I am not making any excuses for Baylor I am simply saying that all these universities that continue to try and be the front line investigators of any serious crimes on or off campus are stupid and opening themselves up to massive liability especially if the accused is a student athlete
 


Waco PD, Baylor PD, the DA’s office and the State AG were all in out this. This is not a Title IX Compliance debate. They brushed those regulations aside like a fat man ignoring the calorie count at a DQ.

If you want to discuss what you want to talk about, take it to the Cloak Room.

So much for the "no report."  There will be draft reports, interview notes, everything in there.  PH may have been instructed not to provide a final report to BU, but it is a safe bet that there are internal firm memoranda and similar documents that will be the same thing.  This is a road map for those plaintiffs lawyers.  BU is about to get treated like one of their coeds.  I'm not sure how much will trickle out to the press and public because of privacy issues, but this is about to get a lot worse for BU.  Get your popcorn.

Oh, and somehow the fact that a member of the equestrian team has sued BU for mishandling a rape by 2 football players (a third one videoed it) in the fall of 2017 has slipped under the radar:

https://www.kwtx.com/content/news/Former-Baylor-equestrian-team-member-sues-university-over-rape-507763331.html

"In the suit, Doe says she was incapacitated when she and a friend were sexually assaulted, and while she was intoxicated, says she remembers not giving consent, but when she told that to Title IX investigators, she was manipulated and shamed.

"When Doe told Noble that she had told one of her assailants to “stop,” Noble questioned whether she said “no” forcefully enough: “Do you think though from. . . [his] perspective, he took it as stop don’t ever do that again?” the suit reads.

Doe says investigators weren't the only avenue of shame she walked at Baylor: she says upper-class equestrian team members blamed her and other younger members of the team for the assaults, calling them "sluts."

She says the backlash caused her to delay reporting the assault for several days, and when she did, she says the Baylor system failed her despite the university's claims it had fixed historic issues of mishandling sexual assaults and failures to comply with Title IX."

Baylor has an April 11 deadline, which gives them some time to appeal to the Fifth Circuit if they want to fight the district court's order, so I'm guessing it could be a few more months before those records are produced.

On top of the obvious scumbaggery, those upperclassmen horse girls sound delightful.

Baylor is not an equal. They should not be. They should be broken and scattered. Waco should be bulldozed, salted, and a massive tarp should be put down as a warning for future generations.

That would be an improvement to the area.

Don’t sleep on Southern New Hampshire University

Despite the name, they have a nationwide alumni base and recruiting territory. They'd dominate. We should take U of Phoenix too before SEC gets a hold.

Well, the BATFE and FBI are still in business.

Lol are you shitting me. If you have to hire someone who will be influencing kids' lives at 7pm on a holiday Friday night to dodge an avalanche of well-deserved negative publicity, you're doing it wrong.

And here's the press release. Love the Grant Teaff "no seriously he's an A+ dude" paras.

Also "At Mount Vernon ISD, Coach Briles joins a robust athletic department, rich with athletic success and committed to ethics, sportsmanship, and compliance."

Texas HS football is serious business, local board decision, yada.  But Dr. Jason McCullough is gonna regret this someday.

If he ever decides to move on to a larger district, I'm pretty sure that this decision is going to be brought up.

I think his biggest regret is going to be putting his email address at the bottom of the press release.

It's kind of telling they didn't mention Baylor by name in the presser.  They didn't name Tech or Houston either, but still....Baylor is what he's known for.

Aside from the Board, how many folks in Mount Vernon knew this deal was going down?  4-6 tops?

Enjoy the crusty old goobers you'd expect to hire Briles navigate the world of modern technology.

"I got a little unfinished business in Texas" well yeah you only managed to terrorize one mid-sized city's female population. Now you've got East Texas.

I have a lake house in mt Vernon and always wanted to go to a game but never have. I will now. He may hang 80 on some of these 3A teams.

Openly cheering for the other team every game, I hope.
