re: A&M will benefit from the fall Baylor is about to take

Let's look beyond the football aspect here for a second because it doesn't seem like Baylor was able to- if Briles knew about the allegations he should never have accepted the transfer in the first place - this wasn't a stolen laptop this was domestic abuse allegations- it was crap that Mett was able to gain admission at LSU it's crap that Mixon is still at OU (and that they took the Mizzou WR).


To compound the earlier mistake by acting like they did once a the guy was indicted is nuts. For all the crap we rightly give FSU even Jumbo would have kicked the guy if the initial police coverup failed and enough evidence was left lying around to make a case.

all of this. As Bielema says "you recruit your problems" as tBeacon of college sports we've passed on higher ranked athletic freaks because of behavior issues. Character is the number one thing our staff looks at in recruiting beyond the obvious 'if they can play at SEC level'. Our attrition has become minimal. Only 1 arrest in over 2 years. (which I called a week prior b/c I saw that player at a gas station acting like an idiot)

We've got to start holding coaches accountable for the programs they run. They get paid ridiculous amounts and they can seem to always find a job and land on their feet and just get right back to business as usual while fans, alumni, students, and admin are left to clean up their messes or endure the criminal activity those coaches brought into their cities and universities.

Athletes are often a conduit to drugs and other criminals because they don't leave their homies behind in the ghetto they come from, they bring em on campus where the athlete's fame lets them run wild and get hook ups all over the place.
