Briles coming back to Baylor?

[GatorJ]

The Board of Regents is thinking of turning it into a one-year suspension only.

well Baylor Football isn't as important as Stanford Swimming. They are just going by example.

Even if they don't do it, their Board of Regents look like a bunch of idiots just talking about doing it.

the taste of success, when you've been a perennial dump your whole life, can be oh so sweet, even sweet enough to be willing to do anything, even awful things, to maintain it.

The NCAA does not approve.

It seems that this is likely one of those completely fabricated occurrences to get internet
kite-wind upon a rag-knot tale.

 

[Swamp Queen]

If true, absolutely disgusting!

Do you suppose Baylor called f$u for advice?

What exactly do you know that Briles did that requires he be fired? I know lots of talk show guys are yelling about how awful it was at Baylor but what specific things do you think Briles did that requires he be fired? After all he is not an at will employee, but rather has a contract.

I know he took the transfer from Boise. Did he know what the kid had been accused of? Did he fail to do due diligence or did Boise muddle the waters possibly due to FERPA? Is there anything else Briles did that might merit firing?

Have you read/heard that reportedly Baylor owes Briles $40 million on his contract? That would take a lot of extra tort liability to make it worth firing him without cause depending on how his contract reads.

What in the Baylor situation would be in violation of NCAA by-laws?

My comment was about the Board of Regents, not Briles. If the Board backtracks on the firing, it will look bad on them (they will look like idiots). If I'm on the Board, reducing his punishment to a one year suspension is the last thing I want to be discussing at this point. Time to move on.

What did he do? He was in charge of a football program that enabled its players to assault young women without repercussions. His staff ran interference, did not report issues brought to their attention and questioned victims without authority to do so. I'd say when you accept the head job, the buck stops with you.

What did Briles do? He was the face and leader of that football program that had multiple reported incidents of sexual assault. Instead of following contractual obligations to report to independent parties to investigate, he and his cronies took it upon themselves to investigate and intimidate potential victims. That right there is plenty cause for termination of contact much less a questionable moral compass

Even though Briles didn't pull a Bobby Petrino, he still got caught with his pants down figuratively speaking.

This correct. The article really doesn't tell the whole story. There is a small minority of boosters that are being recognized as wanting him to stay. It's not going to happen.

If anything Briles should be guilty of culpable negligence. I still can not fathom how people can look the other way. What if she was your daughter? Would they look the other way then?

I am not sure what you consider without repercussions, but according to this article:

http://crimeblog.dallasnews.com/201...scandal-engulfed-baylors-football-program.htm

there have been thee players accused of rape at Baylor since 2011. According to that article above:

A. One is serving a 20 year sentence
B. Another is serving a 5 year sentence
C. Another was arrested this spring and is awaiting trial.

Personally, I consider 20 years in prison a repercussion in fact I consider it a pretty serious repercussion.

I guess we may find out in a court of law if anyone was intimidate or if Baylor has a cause of action to fire Briles. On the intimidation side of it, that these cases were brought tends to be evidence that no one was intimidated. Heck that in the T. Harris case the complaint was withdrawn is to my mind more evidence of intimidation than anything I have read in the Baylor situation.

The "If anything" part of your post is a big key here. Perhaps he is not guilty of anything. I too can not fathom how people look the other way while feckless college administrators try to shift blame. What if it was someone in your family who by contract was owed $40 million? Would they just look the other way.

What about the others that claimed their assaults were swept under the rug. Liars one and all I'm sure.
