Chilichimp posted:A lot of schools exist in places where they are bigger than the adjoining town/city. It just makes more sense for them to employ their own public safety officers than rely on the police in their county/town. I understand all that. Penn State and State College did the same thing. There were even some police cars that said State College on one side and Penn State on the other. But...it seems like such a conflict of interest at times.

Now it's hit the texas media people that Baylor hasn't officially fired Briles and can elect to just make it a suspension now, and this wasn't just some twitter fevered dream So that's neat.

Sash! posted:That one doesn't bother me so much because I'd rather the railroads patrol the railroads rather than have local police wandering around in the woods near railroad tracks. I was referring more to the part where if they get certified as law enforcement officers in one state federal law lets them enforce laws in every state. You're right though its not a bad idea, but it is definitely a 19th century thing. When I was a freshman at Kentucky during orientation week a UKPD officer came by the dorm for some sort of orientation type thing. He said something along the lines of "The UK police department is the 9th largest in Kentucky and if UK was a city separate from Lexington it'd be the 9th largest city in the state". I forget the actual numbers but they were both top 10 and I believe the same. The other interesting part was that they had county wide jurisdiction (Lexington is a merged city/county) which was less than the metro PD which had state wide jurisdiction (merged city-county means they also act as the sheriffs). The department had detectives for major crimes and had assistant DAs assigned specifically to their department. Major university PDs are effectively the same as municipal departments. This hasn't come up yet in the Baylor case but the University PD's lack of interest in football cases was a major factor in the Penn State scandal. Since theres always more and its always worse it would not surprise me if Baylor's PD was actively suppressing this. Football is more important than religion in Texas after all.

If Baylor is going to reinstate Briles, they're going to need to present some new, more specific information about the extent of the coaching staff's involvement in all this and make a pretty compelling case for why they weren't out of line. They'll get crucified no matter what, but they need to be sure everything that's going to get out is out before they make this decision. But that's all irrelevant because there's 0% chance they bring him back (or that he would agree to come back) at this point anyway. You can't hand down punishment and publicly deem him culpable in all of this and then reverse course.

They've had their first real sustained success ever and have spent gonzo dollars on athletic poo poo. The school, BoR and alumni have a vested interest in keeping the rapetrain going.

quote:"The conclusion is inescapable that the motive of Baylor and the Board of Regents was to use its head football coach and the Baylor athletic department as a camouflage to disguise and distract from its own institutional failure to comply" with federal civil rights protections, Cannon wrote to Baylor's attorneys in the latest development in a scandal that has gripped the world's largest Baptist university for months . Well yes, I guess I have to agree with that. That doesn't mean you weren't hip deep in all of this too though.

So I haven't been following the recent drama. Is the gist of it that the Board of Regeants in basically burying the report doesn't have any proof that they fired Briles with cause, so now they decided they had to pay him off for firing him without cause? Sucks Briles gets $40m for being a poo poo, but man, gently caress Baylor.

Basically its $40 million to Briles, or fire Briles for cause and lose all federal funding plus fines from the DoJ for wanton Title IX violations.
