Am I missing something or did a player who was suspended indefinitely and never played a down for Baylor, is going to jail and will no longer be on the team?
Where's the controversy? Where's the cover up?
From what I can tell this is more a story of the media not asking questions or reporting on this story until recently. It's not like the entire thing was a secret, court cases are open record, as are arrest records.
The guy had a violent history? Don't half the player in the SEC have a violent history?
Does America no longer believe in due process? Shouldn't the rights of the accused and victim both be upheld? What is the difference if he is dismissed from the team before or after the verdict? The outcome is the same.
If anything, people should be outraged at this judge's decision, 180 days in jail for rape? That's ridiculous, the real investigation should be the competency of this judge. The jury recommended 8 years.

Briles knew he tried to strangle a girl to death at Boise and still accepted his transfer. Then the school botched an internal investigation into the accusation at Baylor so badly that the judge ruled it inadmissable, meaning the university is grossly incompetent or actively tried to downplay/cover up the issue. This investigation was also not reported to the NCAA until his indictment. Then, Briles allowed him to remain on the team after being indicted for rape. Players are always immediately kicked off the team after being indicted for rape/murder and the like.
Moreover, up until three weeks ago Briles and his DC were actively discussing him as a member of team and as a starter for the upcoming season. Then it comes out the accuser's athletic scholarship was reduced after she made her allegation.
It looks really, really bad and that is assuming there wasnt an active attempt to make this go away on their part which given their past is a big assumption.

Yeah, you're missing a lot, not just something.

Baylor has been about as dirty as it comes. This can only get worse if some journo actually does their job.

Read your whole post and I HAVE to say:
You present at least one (and almost certainly 3 or 4) good argment(s).
ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DAYS for rape.
Leans ME toward stalking that high school softball babe I saw in the store the other day!
SERIOUSLY!
