CFB: Briles fired

dep026 : 5/26/2016 12:01 pm
from Baylor. Pretty big news.
I'm surprised it took this long  
Greg from LI : 5/26/2016 12:08 pm : link
That's a bad, bad scene down there. It's hard to believe that Baylor of all schools would let this go on after what happened with the basketball team back when.
Good.

It is hard to separate fact from supposition in this story, but what is known is damning.
Baylor's a mess

Time to also root out those on the Board who allowed them

They need to clean up that mess in Waco immediately...
Maybe they'll get rid of Drew, too

Stories, I think the car salesman guy from Friday Night Lights is somehow involved.
Ken Starr

was already fired. The delicious comeuppance of him getting fired over a sex scandal made my day.
Yes..

What a hypocritical POS.
I don't want to make light of a serious issue  
Ten Ton Hammer : 5/26/2016 12:49 pm : link
but if you need to post signs reminding your players not to be monsters, you're doing something wrong.

apparently the board....  
BillKo : 5/26/2016 1:03 pm : link
is still determining Starr's fate..............announcement at the end of next week.
Dude was covering up rape  
Rflairr : 5/26/2016 1:12 pm : link
Not just once but several times. That's about as low as you can go for a football coach. Sit by while your players just wildly rape girls

Is the school tried to get Starr to take the fall for Briles. And he said kiss my ass, not doing it
Briles has to go if Starr is going to get canned

The university president should know what's going on on campus, but a coach should know a hell of a lot more about what's happening with his team.

Board of Regents findings
from what I read, Starr is being demoted, not fired  
Greg from LI : 5/26/2016 1:52 pm : link
Going from the president to the chancellor.
Not sure why the AD would be immune either if this is true.

Starr being kept on the Baylor payroll...  
bw in dc : 5/26/2016 2:21 pm : link
is an absolute travesty.
They should have gone big...  
Chris in Philly : 5/26/2016 3:08 pm : link
and just covered up child rape. All it would have cost them is a statue...

Throw out Baylor recruiting postcard for daughter as soon as I get home.
It took as long as it did....  
BC Eagles94 : 5/26/2016 3:22 pm : link
because Baylor was an absolute Big 12 doormat before Briles got there. And Briles had miraculously turned Baylor into a national contender. Baylor wasn't letting him go unless they absolutely HAD to. And these atrocities meant Baylor HAD to get rid of him. We'll see what desperate, disgusting college program picks him up...
A school that markets itself as Christian and faith-based...  
Dunedin81 : 5/26/2016 3:29 pm : link
should go above and beyond, not below and beneath. I don't think they're entirely clear about what has happened yet, but it needs to be more than Briles and a demotion for Starr. AD needs to be out on his ass and Starr does too.

What a hypocritical POS.

According to reports, Starr was fired from the post of president but stays on as chancellor. If true, I take this to mean that he no longer makes hiring decisions, but the school needs his contacts and influence raising money.

They're probably millenials.
njm, I don't think so. Briles and Starr sure ain't millenials,

nor are those good folks who swept the sexual abuse scandal in the Catholic Church under the rug for decades.
Ken Starr confronted w/email showing he was told about rape  
sphinx : 6/3/2016 11:28 am : link
Reporters have previously been letting Starr stick to his talking points, regardless of the fact that many of them don’t match the facts. But during her sit-down interview with Starr, Julie Hays at KWTX confronted him about an email previously used in reporting by ESPN’s Outside the Lines. The email is from a woman who said she was raped by former Baylor football player Tevin Elliott, who was sentenced to up to 20 years in prison for a separate sexual assault. The subject line is “I Was Raped at Baylor,” and the list of people it was sent to includes Starr. During the report, images of the email scroll across the screen before cutting back to Starr.

Hays: “What about the victim that came forward saying that she had personally sent you an email and Art Briles an email saying in the subject line that she was raped at Baylor. Did you ever see that email?”

Starr: “I honestly may have. I’m not denying that I saw it.”
This is one of three answers Starr will give to that question.
