Speaking volumes about Baylor culture

In the Gary Patterson era, TCU has been arguably better than all the teams you listed except OU and Texas.

Screw TCU.

They should fire Kim Mulkey for those comments. If Baylor is serious about cleaning up their mess then they should have a zero tolerance policy on a mistake like this. Also, if this is truly the way she feels about this situation she is not at all suitable to lead a basketball team.

She backtracked on her statement, so the administration probably talked to her about it. I agree though that she should have some sort of punishment, but no chance they fire her over that. I would like to see a 1 game suspension.

“I did not cover-up any sexual violence. I had no contact with anyone that claimed to be a victim of sexual or domestic assault. Anyone well-versed in my work as a coach knows that I strove to promote excellence, but never at the sacrifice of safety for anyone,” Briles wrote. “I did not obstruct justice on campus or off.”

Briles insisted that when alerted to an assault incident, his response was that victims should go to the police so it could be prosecuted.

yes, but shouldn't he be alerting someone himself? kind of like 'ol Joe knowing his coach is attacking boys..


hmmm, doesn't sound like he did much to anyone...good job deflecting the situation Briles..

Lying seems to be totally acceptable these days. SMH!

I echo the sentiments of everyone here. It's clear that Baylor does lack institutional control and should be treated as such by the NCAA and the Big 12. I called them institutionally immoral several months ago and on 1 thread here just a couple weeks back said that I've already told my kids, now 14 and 15, that they will not go to Baylor, despite the fact that we live in the Houston area.

It's not just about not letting our daughters go to school there. What about our sons? What kind of a message does it say to our sons if we suggest that it's OK to treat women the way they've been treated at Baylor? It's not just the rapes, which are numerous and horrific. It's the cover-ups within the athletic department and the university. Art Brides and other assistants encouraged some of these women to change their story. Administrators at the university threatened to inform some of these girls' parents and put the girls on probation for violating rules against consuming alcohol as retaliation for reporting their assaults.

If Kim Mulkey or anyone else associated with that university really loved Baylor they would work to clean up its image not tell anyone who's concerned about how women are treated there to "F-off!"

I thought I'd read somewhere that BU wasn't that safe for regular students of the male gender either. I'm sure the "alleged" rapists also beat up on normal-sized guys just for their own amusement.

that school has a horrible culture problem. they have created an atmosphere of entitlement among a few elite combined with a tendency to remain silent for a laundry list of reasons that includes religious aspects, financial reasons, and even criminal factors. The point is their environment is unhealthy. period.

pretty gross. i get defending your school......nearly every person i've ever known who went to Penn St.....were without exception....interesting, achieving, intellectually curious peoples. serious. but, they get that stain everywhere they go, now.

so, sure, maybe the overall population at BU is good people working hard but accountability is real. you can't only take the good. there's enough evidence that the problem is institutional.

i used to work at the U of Colorado and the U of Denver.....and there's always messed up stuff....but in those cases it was incompetency or lack of communication between competing fiefdoms. questions of scale or egos.

Baylor people have always come across a bit undeserving of their self-posited entitlement. it may be the private school in the Big XII (now TCU as well)....but it ain't Duke, Vandy, Northwestern, or Stanford.

and to state the obvious: if you are going set oneself up as a Baptist institution and have these things going on....that is hypocrisy in most total way.

That would be the first time I have seen anyone use fiefdom on a message board.
