Roll you one better than that Scholz---
I don't know all the details but as I understand it a couple student bodies in the big 12 have expressed concerns about What they view as discrimatory policies(gays, etc) and feel like admission in to the big 12 is embracing those ideas. I don't know that I agree, but where I think it relates to the Baylor situation is if you are worried about BYU representing the conference you should be equally concerned about baylor(more really). If it's really about presenting a good example.
Oh good grief Hickey, overreact much? He never said anyone should hate the Mormon cult, relax.
NCAA won't do it. We've proven they are more concerned with potty rooms than rapists. FBI won't do it. They are too busy looking stupid and inept. DPS wants nothing to do with anything in waco----- waco pd was in the bag with baylor---- who's left?
It's not going to happen but someone that knows more than me. Are there grounds for removing a team from the conference? If there is and the big 12 was on more solid footing that might be an option. Outside of that I agree nothing will happen.
Several gay and lesbian groups wrote a letter to Bob bowlsby expressing their views on BYU and their descriminatory policies at BYU where they said that "no sexual contact may occur between men and men, women and women or men and women" and now they are framing that as "antigay" when in reality it's "anti sex out of wedlock". I'm sure we all had sex out of wedlock so I won't judge.... I think that's a bit out there but it's there deal....
I think we are referring to the baylor fans giving briles a standing O as trash my bro.
Haha yes I'm referring to the standing O for Viles AND the way the football program and university have handled this whole rape scandal. I have always respected Baylor as a University of higher education, no doubt.
I stand corrected. I read it as (baylor fans) (sic) are trash. My bad bro.................
Sexual assault is vile. No one should applaud it. But, I can assure you, I was at graduation commencement at Baylor in August 2016. Everyone I spoke to is disgusted by it.
Have you seen the South Park episode about heaven? Seems you need to be Mormon to get in.
If Briles is telling his players to go rape, then he is a piece of crap. If Briles threatened victims if they were to press charges, then he is trash. Here's the problem - we don't know what he did. Only a few know, and none are on this board. The Pepper Hamilton Report which is now being viewed as inerrant as the Bible itself gave 98 recommendations for improvement ... but not one was to can the coach. I am of the view, as consistently stated, that the BOR must have the goods on Briles, or else they wouldn't can the golden goose. However, I also see that not one single other coach was fired, suspended or otherwise censored. Why? If we are to jump to conclusions, as so many are want to do, there is no way on God's green earth that the staff (and others) didn't know what Briles was up to (whatever that was). Which means either (a) Briles was up to nothing, the BOR caved to public pressure and offered up a sacrificial lamb, or (b) the BOR is a bigger piece of crap than Briles and kept on staff that was, at worst, complicit in what happened, whatever that was. I went to the SMU game and it was the most depressing thing I've been too. It was like visiting a close relative in hospice. We love them, they are still with us, at times they do things that remind us of the good times we had in the past, but we know it won't be for long. So, to summarize this rant --- none of us knows what happened with respect to Briles/staff involvement, at best he took no action and at worst it was really bad, not one single Baylor alum approves of, sanctions or participates in rapes or sexual assaults, we need to clean our house, our house isn't the only one that's dirty, if we are getting what we deserve then give us the medicine but make sure that OTL makes a stop in Norman to cover Joe Mixon playing at OU tonight and Chapel Hill to cover the UNC player suiting up today. Enjoy the Saturday of football. I am just waiting for women's hoops season.
Well Hickey, I'm not sure how physically dangerous they are but they sure have a hard time comprehending "no thanks, I'm not interested, already attend a church, please don't come up my drive anymore. The no soliciting sign in front is there for a reason" I live in an area that's considered rural so it's not just going door to door. And yes, I stand firm in my opinion.
I guess I'm totally surprised he would be seen in a football stadium, muck less at a freaking Baylor football game ??? Wha am I missing?
I ain't mad at you. I'm mad at the lack of institutional control-- which does fall on the head coach and AD- and I'm super pissed that the feckless NCAA has yet to say a word.
