Baylor coach should be fired
- Thread starter bignow
- Start date
Gramps, there is already a thread about this.
But this is about a lot more than Briles. The university lowered scholarship money FOR RAPE VICTIMS and made one of them change HER SCHEDULE, because the guy under indictment for rape shared a tutoring schedule with her.
They did the same thing to another rape victive of another football player.
The firings here should start with the DA's office in McClennan county. They helped cover this up. As did the administration at Baylor.
There is a stench at Baylor. It goes back to Dave Bliss and hasn't gone away. There is a corruption of this school that proclaims itself to be Christian, that ought to make those who love Baylor, do some serious thinking. I guess they thought that if he was found not guilty, that they could play him. Baylor had the dirtiest team in the conference last year and it wasn't close.
I doubt this will cost Briles his job. But it damn sure ought to cost his boss, or his boss's boss, his.

Gramps, I was wrong. I'd just read the thread about the issue here, but it was on the premium board. You post was original over here.
This is going to get interesting. Apparently, the victim was on a girls' soccer scholarship at Baylor. So when her scholarship money was reduced, that was done by the Baylor athletic department. This will be a large story nationally. Briles is going to be under heavy fire I suspect, as will the university as a whole. I feel great sadness for this young woman.
Because the university as a whole, and the McCLennan DA's and Waco PD's handling of this smells of protecting the football player, at the expense of the young woman, this is the kind of case where Gloria Allred gets involved. I hope they throw the book at this guy.

Perhaps, Texas is going to be scrutinized with a jaundiced eye too.
You always are...you're TEXAS!
Wrong fitty - the media doesn't give a fat damn about Texas these days. They are the fourth best football team in the state.
You're right, they have become a cautionary tale.
I just take great exception to these horn yahoos coming here presuming to tell us what's up.
It's galling.
6-7 still stinging? Maybe Uterus will get lucky and not make a bowl this season and can remain 6-6 in the end.
That's the way my dream goes...the longer they wallow in the hog trough of mediocrity the better...helps OUR recruiting.
Dang Tanker, you and your squeeze in the avatar?
Either way, exquisite, luscious blonde there...and looks like she has an affinity for Mojitos!
Just for crazy and the brainwashed horn fans.
Charlie Strong’s Five Core Values…and Michael Dyer

When Charlie Strong was hired to be the head coach of the Louisville Cardinals, he laid out five core values that each Louisville football player would be required to adhere to. You might assume that these core values would be likely to include lofty goals that any good human being would aspire to—honesty, integrity, humility, being charitable with their time, etc. To be fair, Strong’s first “core value” is honesty. After this solid start, Coach Strong’s list derails out of the realm of values and into the realm of the obvious. When his values are violated, Coach Strong says that players are saying that they “don’t want to be a part of this program.” They are as follows:
I will keep this simple. Michael Dyer has been kicked out of two schools. His first dismissal, was for a failed drug test at Auburn. After his dismissal, he testified in court after his gun was used by teammates in a robbery. A triple whammy for Charlie Strong’s core values. If this was the end of the story, perhaps, it would be easier to understand how Strong looked past Dyer’s questionable past—maybe it was a momentary lapse in judgment for the young man. Shortly after Dyer’s dismissal at Auburn, he ended up at Arkansas State. Before he played a single down, however, he was once again dismissed for similar issues. Dyer was pulled over at 2:20 a.m. for doing 96 miles per hour in a 70 miles per hour zone. In the car with Dyer was weed and a pistol. If his issues at Auburn weren’t enough it would seem safe to assume considering Strong’s values that Dyer’s violations at Arkansas State would rule out any chance of Dyer suiting up in a Louisville uniform. Michael Dyer is a card now
I don’t mean this as an attack on Michael Dyer’s character—people make mistakes. I do, however, think that it’s wrong and worthy to point out when a coach lays out a set of laughably simple laws that his players must live up to only to disregard nearly every single one of these rules when a talented player falls in his lap thanks to issues with drugs, weapons, and connections to theft. No one told Strong that he had to make no guns, stealing, or drugs a part of his core values. When he explicitly stated that these things were his core values, I guess the cynic in me believed that the only reason he’d done something so obvious was because he was more against these things than even the rest of us. I guess you’re exempt from Coach Strong’s Five Core Value’s if you’ve been the MVP of the national championship. If people really paid attention or cared about contradictions or lies from college football coaches, I’d say that Coach Strong sacrificed a good piece of his integrity for Michael Dyer. But hey, the Cards got a good one.

Who cares about Louisville or Dyer? This was talked about weeks ago when it was clear he would transfer to them.

This is such a farce. His reasoning according to the newspaper this morning is that those things happened when Dyer was not an actual member of UL’s team so they don’t count against his core values. This is how UL built up their football program to begin with. They would take all these players that were either kicked out of other schools or players that could not get into the big conference schools because their grades were so bad. They even took one or two that had been in prison. You go back and check and many of their star players fell into this category. They also to take Prop 48 players that other conferences were not allowed to take. Steve Kragthorpe started getting rid of these type players when he took over and that is why he failed as their coach. Now Strong is back to doing it.

The article proves UK is scared of the Cards. I can’t wait until next month. Louisville is going to ROLL the cards. It’ll be so bad, I may even feel some pity.

This was a complete trollbait of a post to entice all of the UL idiots who are just sitting here, waiting to post some inane BS on a UK site at 10:00 PM on a Saturday night.
LOL!! Yes... Thank ya kindly.Dang Tanker, you and your squeeze in the avatar?
Either way, exquisite, luscious blonde there...and looks like she has an affinity for Mojitos!
Well, not speaking for Veritas, but I'm olde...for me to get a gal like that it would take a couple of grand and twenty minutes.
30 minutes if I'm having a good day.
Didn't Charlie coach on the All Penitentiary Team that Florida had some years back? Defensive Coordinator or something like that? He sure "held up" some "high" values back then.
I'm not fooled into believing Charlie is a saint. He's just following the rules he's been given from the top so UT can try to move past the lawless days of Mack's Chain Gangs. He'll have a losing record and will get the boot leaving UT to scramble to hire a third tier coach.

lol...bless his heart - he does keep trying, doesn't he?
Yep, he does have the courage of his errant convictions, no denying that.
Baylor grad judge gives the rapist 180 days in jail and 10 years probation. With good time and time served he will be out in time to watch BU stomp Texas.
Ken Starr announces Baylor will do it's own internal investigation as to why it's previous internal investigation turned up zilch. All the Baylor sycophants responded with a "hurumph!"

Well, it's better than some BS probation only thing.
