    But the President only got demoted and can still teach at the University. I think he's now Chancellor.

    Wow.

    The lid hasn't even begun to come off this one. Briles and others could possibly face criminal charges. Probably should

    Like I said, lid isn't even off the jar yet. They are in panic mode right now because if they fired everyone that needs to and will be fired they wouldn't have anyone to coach the damn football team. A problem they just might not have to worry about before its all said and done.

    Would have never saw this coming. Wonder how much of this crap goes unreported around college football.

    What are you hearing? I think Briles is a good coach, but to get Baylor of all places to a national contender, obviously he turned a blind eye to some real social gems off the field. But how far does the rabbit hole go?

    No idea, not hearing much and that is the problem. Lots of "connected" guys on the radio around here and when all they have to say is "I aint saying nuttin" that means it is some deep shit. Possibility of federal charges is the most I could get

    Doesn't anyone else see the irony in this? the President of the University, the guy who is guilty, at the very least, of being complacent is none other than Kenneth Starr. Yes, that Ken Starr who prosecuted Bill Clinton back in the 90's over sex scandals. Poetry I tell ya....
