GSG Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 On Eve Of 60 Minutes Sports Report, Baylor Starts Website Called "The Truth" This afternoon, the URL www.baylor.edu/thetruth went live; no, the URL and website names are not the worst part. As Baylor’s attempt to throw 18 committees at the problem didn’t stop reporters from asking questions about how the university became a living hell for women who reported they were sexually assaulted, the university launched a website dedicated to releasing what it deems to be appropriate and important information about its response to the public. The site’s mission, per a published letter from university interim president David Garland, is to help Baylor be “more transparent wherever possible about the sexual assault crisis.” New Report Details How Baylor Suppressed Reports Of Sexual Assault A report tonight from Showtime’s 60 Minutes Sports revealed a series of new details about Baylor’s failures to handle reports of sexual assault, especially (although not exclusively) those involving football players. The package, reported by Armen Keteyian, details how Waco police kept details of reported assaults from the Title IX office, how Baylor delayed doing their own investigations as required by the federal government, and how the university reportedly retaliated against two coaches who reported sexual assaults. 1 Quote Link to comment

Nebraska Alum Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Wow, I hadn't paid much attention to Baylor's epic meltdown until I read up on it tonight. I found Art Brile's biography to be darkly ironic: Beating Goliath: My Story of Football and Faith, by Art Briles. Growing up in Rule, Texas, Art Briles learned at a young age the importance of hard work and faith from his parents. Soon that faith would be tested. On their way to see him play in a college football game, Briles' parents and aunt died in a car crash. This event shaped Briles into the man he is today. His father, Dennis, left him with a series of lessons. He taught his son that the world doesn't just hand you things, you have to earn them. And he taught him the influence that faith could have in his life. Briles put these lessons to work as a football coach, where he established his reputation for turning struggling teams into winners, from high school to the staff at Texas Tech to head coach at the University of Houston. Hired to coach Baylor in 2007, he was faced with a familiar task. Within three years, Briles led the Bears to their first bowl game in 15 years. Today, he instills those same lessons into his young players, helping them find a reason to excel. There are plenty of excuses for failure but Briles surrounds himself with people who are fearless when it comes to chasing success. That is one of the many lessons he imparts to his readers in Beating Goliath, with chapters that include: * God and the Teaching of Dennis Briles* Finding Your Passion* You Can Change Attitude, Not Talent* Passing in the Land of Earl Campbell* Everybody is a Captain Filled with dramatic football stories and lessons learned, this book will inspire and entertain.

When McBride and the player asked Nielsen what the problem was, he replied, “He’s abusing his privileges,” ‘the affidavit said. Right after the incident, McBride said, Nielsen told him, “You’ll never f****** work in this business again. You’re abusing your privileges on the field.” A spokesperson for the newspaper said stadium cameras recorded the incident. Quote Link to comment
