Firing could be modified to one yr suspension on grounds Baylor had no Title 9 compliance officer and therefore Briles et al were not responsible for behavior of athletes.
 
if the rape victims that said briles and staff were told of the rapes and sexual assaults are telling the truth then the state governor or someone else powerful outside of the school needs to step and make sure this doesn't happen. can not having a title 9 compliance really save the coaching staff's jobs even if they knew of the sexual assaults like the victims say they did
 
He will still be gone, but then he can sue for wrongful termination and get the money he was owed in his contract.
 
I am guessing that his actions violated his contract in some way whether they had a title IX coordinator or not. Wrongful Term cases in Texas are amazingly hard to win absent some form of discrimination prohibited by law.
 
is this penn st all over again where success of the coach and football program outweigh innocent people getting sexually assaulted
 
Yes but more so b/c Baylor was terrible for so long but then got alright and ended up investing 300million in a stadium that opened just last year.

The Bears are terrified of falling back to their historic norm of 4-8. Briles is a great coach but I don't see how they could re-hire the guy. But people in Texas may have different priorities.

I don't think it would be a re-hire.

They would see it as "His punishment for his involvement in the crimes was a year long suspension, plus probation, etc."

They would see the punishment for the administration for failing to have a compliance office as additional to that, and replacing the need to fire Briles.
 
If Briles is allowed to coach in college in 2017, that is terrible news for the entire sport. I hope the B12 would over rule the Bears.
 
well from what i'm now reading it seems that people on the board of trustees at Baylor are under pressure to keep him because several rich donors who helped bring in the new stadium and other things on campus are being assholes by saying that they won't give baylor a single cent ever again if they fire briles. how the hell can donors do this when they know from articles written recently that more than one victim is saying that briles himself new of the assaults

Empirical evidence of how the institution impacts the lives of its students and vice versa.
 
I think some of the alumni are putting this story out to try to keep what is left of last years signing class together and keep kids from transferring. I hope they have more sense than to allow him to come back.

Isn't it covering for criminal activity - I thought the USA had laws against that sort of thing - the guy should be coaching the inmate league.
 
If he is fired and the school has not intention of bringing him back and some alumni float the story out there to keep kids from asking out of their LOC or transferring I am not sure what crime is being committed other than lousy morals, ethics, and bad taste - but not sure about criminal.
 
"...lousy morals, ethics, and bad taste - but not sure about criminal...."

We still talking Baylor or have we shifted to the Pres. candidates?
 
i'm now reading that several so called Baylor donors are now coming out via twiiter and back pedaling by saying that there not supporting briles being kept on. i'm guessing people everywhere bashing them on social media must've put fear into a lot of them
 
but 1596 has a point, did he in fact impede investigation? did he aid and abet sexual criminals?
that would make him an after the fact accomplice.
 
all I know pers from reading stories on other places is that he kept a player knowing he raped a girl which lead to the player raping another girl. if the player would've been kicked off the team and forced to go elsewere then another female wouldn't have been raped on campus
 
^ 'off the team'?????
really?
how harsh! (and yes another fem would have been raped; somewhere!)

how about: pick one
incarcerate
castrate
eliminate

if it can be shown that the 1st rape was known and not fully reported, then the 2nd rape happened as a result of the cover up and guess what: that sounds criminal !
Everyone involved in the cover up essentially, to some degree, committed rape!
