Briles didn't alert players the cops were coming, order a hit on drae Bowles, call him a traitor, etc. That is worse imo.
In no way am I fit to judge which situation is worse.
But Baylor's issues are so systemic, they're woven into the fiber of the university.
It's similar to Penn State.
Baylor has been so obscenely terrible in football for such a long time, they were willing to do anything.
quote:
Per reports citing documents, the school and the local police conspired to keep secret a series of assault cases by football players, above and beyond those already known to have occurred under the watch of coach Art Briles and president Ken Starr, both of whom were notified of the alleged crimes by victims. The Waco police cooperated by hiding case files from public view to protect star players from investigation and prosecution.
Baylor has been pretending the whole thing is some kind of mere oversight or misunderstanding instead of recognizing what it is — a rotten criminal enterprise designed to protect football at all costs, even to the point of facilitating sexual assaults against students on campus. Their official comments in the wake of the reports have merely promised “improvements across a variety of areas.”
quote:
The football team’s recent success — two Big-12 titles since 2013 — has brought a financial windfall that is currently insulating Briles’s operation. They recently unveiled a spectacular new stadium for the Bears, and reported official athletic revenues of $106.1 million in 2015, fueled primarily by football success.
That cash buys protection for rapists and assailants and the coach who wants them around.

How a University of Tennessee insider turned on a program she once loved

Wade Payne / For The Tennessean
Jenny Wright stands in her neighborhood in Knoxville on Friday. Wright is a former Tennessee official who is taking on her once beloved university.
If there was ever a fan born with Big Orange flowing in her veins, it was Jenny Wright.
Born to parents who met as college sweethearts at the University of Tennessee — season ticket holders who brought their daughter to her first football game at age 4 — Wright’s path seemed clear.
She joined a sorority and went on to earn three degrees at UT. After law school, Wright went to work for UT in the office that decided what would happen to students who got in trouble. It was where she might have spent her entire career — if things hadn't worked out the way they did.
Wright, 35, is now squarely on the opposing side of an institution she once held dear — a supporting player in a sweeping lawsuit making searing allegations against UT over itshandling of sexual assaults by male athletes.
The lawsuit brought by eight former female students alleges that the university administration and athletics department officials systematically enabled student-athletes to escape punishment when accused of sexual assault. It claims that women who brought allegations were retaliated against. It claims officials with the athletic department tried to influence discipline of student athletes accused of sexual assault. And it claims that women felt compelled to leave the university because of a one-sided campus disciplinary process.
Wright is in a good position to know about the disciplinary process. She used to be in charge of it. She is now helping attorneys for the eight women.
UT has not yet filed a formal legal response to the lawsuit filed Feb. 9, but its attorney, Bill Ramsey, has strongly disputed the allegations. And on Thursday, Athletics Director Dave Hart said athletes are "absolutely not treated any differently" from other students facing campus discipline.
"Any assertion that we do not take sexual assault seriously enough is simply not true," Ramsey said. "To claim that we have allowed a culture to exist contrary to our institutional commitment to providing a safe environment for our students or that we do not support those who report sexual assault is just false."
'...by the end, I was just scared'
Wright, the former director of Student Judicial Affairs, says that over the course of two years — between 2011 and 2013 — she felt pressure, intimidation and finally fear in her dealings with members of the athletic department, including its then-newly hired director — Hart — as she tried to do her job when it came to disciplining student athletes.

What do you call a history of sexual assaults and blatant attempts by UTs Ath dept to cover-up, interfere with or suppress not only investigations of sexual assaults but how you handled them. Dave Hart tried to interrogate SA victims himself. Who the frick does that?

People who were fired from their job would never say anything negative about a former employer
Once again, TugJob actually believes this shite, he's not trolling, that's what makes it hilarious.
