71 years. Yes,that many years. It was the most difficult reclamation job possible. But it was done with great recruiting and community marketing. Baylor won the Big 12 seconds ago. May be the best men's women's combo school in the country now.

They were less than 10 years removed from one of the most disturbing scandals in the history of the game when they grabbed a 3 seed and made a sweet 16. And 11 years later they're even stronger. Drew has done one of the all-time great jobs with that program.

Im actually trying to figure out how Baylor was a accepted by Texas to be part of the group to move to Big 12 but other Texas schools were not

Amazing. A program located in the middle of nowhere that had one of its players murder the other and the coach help cover it up and keep the kid on the team. Barely to be outdone by the same athletic program later covering up multiple sexual assault charges among its athletes.
That same program now the best at men's and women's bball.

yet Rutgers located halfway between two of the biggest cities in the country can barelyget into the tourney after 30'years.

as I understand, Baylor survived because the Governor in Texas at the time (I think BU alum) pushed hard to keep them in.

F-Baylor- systemic rape cover-up culture in the athletic department.

Also BB coach told players to lie to investigators saying a dead BB player dealt drugs as a cover-up of the coach's payments to the dead player - great place
