re: New Baylor lawsuit cites 52 rapes by football players in 4 years

This kind of shite has turned me off to CFB. I have been feeling this way over the past few years, but this Baylor thing has just confirmed just how sleazy of an industry it is. Make no mistake, this kinda crap doesn't just go on at Baylor, but goes on most everywhere (especially in the SEC). These D-1 power universities have basically turned into legalized brothels and organized criminal organizations. It's pathetic.

We really need to step back and self-reflect as a society because our priorities are all out of whack. I am no prude, SJW retard, or anything of that sort, but I just think it's disgraceful when a university (which is supposed to look out for young people) encourages its own students to essentially be prostitutes to attract recruits. Baylor did this with the full knowledge of not only the staff but the administration all the way up to Ken Starr (the same guy who prosecuted Bill Clinton for leaving a stain on Monica's dress. Can we say hypocrisy?).

I was scanning HuffPo's article on the Baylor story and read some comments. One guy posted this:

quote:

---

One of my work peers has a son that was recruited to Alabama (as a kicker; not a QB or RB), and he was "given" two of the Bama Belles. That was just a few months ago. They still exist, in spite of what the article says.

Sounds about right for Bama, but the same thing goes on everywhere. Every school, especially in the SEC, had a prostitute squad (some might still have them but I think most have disbanded them). Bammer had the Bama Belles. AU had the Tigerettes. UGA had the "Dog Catchers" (lol), UT had "Orange Pride" and Florida had the "Gator Getters" (LAWL), etc. The ONLY reason these organizations existed was to parade attractive girls out in front of recruits (usually with implicit sexual favors attached). Some of these girls were even paid to perform sexual favors for recruits. One example was with Lane Kiffin. While coaching at UT, he was accused of paying a UT "Orange Pride" hostess to take a recruit out to dinner and "show him a good time" (with a wink and a nudge).

Am I the only one who thinks this kind of shite is inappropriate? Would you want your daughter being used as a fricking prostitute by the university that you are probably paying $50k a year in tuition for?

And this is just one aspect of the sleaze of CFB. Don't even get me started on academic fraud, all the Escalades being handed out like candy, and all the other shady shite that goes on.

What needs to be done: Professionalize college sports and disassociate the teams from the school itself. Turn the teams into minor league franchises and let them bid in the open for recruits. Most of these guys have zero interest in the academics, so why pretend?
