The problem is the “he said, she said” aspect.

It's comments like this that make women reluctant to report being raped.

How do we know Baylor didn’t push them to go to the cops? They obviously went to someone. I guess ESPN.

As for taking a scholarship away from a black kid because he was “accused”, you know what would happen. The press would have been all over that school for being racist and automatically assuming the “black kid” is guilty of raping a white girl. Because, you know us whites think of black men as “young bucks” who only want to breed. /s

Bennett is a bad coach, in my opinion. But even if he’s the best it won’t matter when every recruit goes somewhere else. The problem with the recruits is how many slots do the big schools have open?

Oh I can see some school, like Arkansas State or North Southwestern Central Louisiana taking him.

Nope. He's on his way to the University of California at St. Louis (UCSL).

I mean here’s a school that basically forbid dancing on campus, and they allow an open Lesbo like Britney Griner play on their women’s basketball team.

“You can bet some very rich donors didn’t appreciate seeing Baylor’s name get dragged through the mud.”

Come on, it’s Baylor. It was not that long ago that Baylor Basketball players were murdering each other.

It’s not a comment. It’s a fact. It’s hard to prove when there are no witnesses.

What makes women reluctant to report it is they’ll be dragged through the mud by defense lawyers. Like Hillary.

Baylor is just trying to get through the year, kind of hard to bring in an entirely new coaching staff at this juncture.

Where will Oklahoma go? The Big 13? Or whatever it’s called today.

At Baylor, a couple of the thugs have been convicted, and several of the girls have come forward and made public complaints. Because that’s what it took to put the spotlight on the team and to break through the multiple levels of cover-up.

Pac 12 has wanted them for years. And they’d take their little buddies, Oklahoma State with them.

They don’t call Waco, Wacko for no reason.

First of all, I don’t think Grimes is a lesbo. I think she’s a man.

They used to have a dance once a year in downtown Waco. I swear.

When I was going there I was living with my girlfriend, now my wife, and they announced anyone living with someone outside of marriage would be kicked out of the university and staff would be fired. I went to a professor about my problem and was told “Don’t worry about it. Every so often they come up with this so they can make all the professors at least appear to be Christians.” Not an exact quote.

What’s funny is that Griner’s “ex-wife” is now engaged......to a man!

But I want to know why these women didn’t go to the cops?

Do your homework. They did. There were two rape convictions before the University realized they had to respond. And in some cases, the cops have been implicated in the inaction.

That’s what is assumed at this point. We’ll know when the report comes out. And obviously something went wrong and it wasn’t handled correctly.

As for the thugs who were convicted, the judicial system did what the university couldn’t do. What I want to know is why the local cops didn’t do more with the other complaints. I assume it was because of lack of evidence.

If the cops don’t have the evidence, what can Baylor do?

Certainly Baylor isn’t alone there. Police Departments in cities with big-time college football, know the Directive is to not do anything that could jeopardize the “Golden Goose.”
