I am amused that the Baylor investigation is confirming the worst of what we expected, plus the new tangential problem of dogfighting.

Isn't this just new stuff from lawsuits so far though? Like not from an investigation I mean.

It's too bad the Big 12 is a garbage conference run by garbage men (no not Tennessee fans) who have no convictions. Baylor should already have been kicked out of our conference regardless of what the NCAA does.

There's a significant faction that believes he did nothing wrong (including Ken Starr).

You'll find that cult of personality with any successful coach on any level. Art Briles isn't even that good of a head coach and Baylor wanted to ignore a laundry list of hosed up poo poo. I can't begin to imagine what Beamer or Bowden could have gotten away with if they had some big scandal.

There will always be some lovely fans, but I don't think all fanbases would react identically to that sort of thing, and more importantly, all coaches aren't amoral rape apologists.

Also, Briles is a really drat good coach.

Let's not all pretend that Art Briles isn't a good coach. Baylor was an absolute, total ruin of a program before he got there.

He is a world-champion level lovely person but he can coach a football team

e: to put this in some perspective, from 96 to 07, which is the formation of the Big 12 until the year before Briles, Baylor had a total of 11 conference wins, and a 29 game conference losing streak. Briles eclipsed that in 4 years and won the conference in his 6th. It doesn't excuse him in any way but you can see why some might worship him (not that they should be excused either)

Well that's specifically why I mentioned the cult of personality surrounding them. The people who have bought in will stand by their guy. Penn State had a coach who was like one stop short of the worst possible scenario of this you could imagine (the worst would be if JoePa was actually doing the molesting) and look what happened there.

I think Nick Saban could get away with an astonishing amount of poo poo right now because half that fanbase would bathe in his farts just to get closer to him.

Bill Snyder is probably the most dangerous coach in the nation.

Luckily he just seems to be a more or less nice old man with the occasional bad opinion.

Ell Roberson maybe sexually assaulted someone before a bowl game and Snyder let him play before he was cleared by the DA (I have no clue how shady or not shady this whole thing was). Then he wrote some open letter to KSU fans about how young people shouldn't be having sex in his opinion or this never would have been a problem.

Also he thinks every college football game should be played at noon on Saturday. And he hates the media in general.

He's just an old dude with old dude opinions really.

By golly, boys will be boys I guess! Nope, don't see anything here having to do with the football program, and does not merit any special concern from the NCAA or Big 12. This is regular news, not football news. Why are you posting regular news in a football thread?

Just as a reminder, this is the same university also tried covered up a murder of one of their basketball players with Bliss claiming he brought it upon himself by dealing drugs. They also blackballed the assistant coach who brought it to light. Dave Bliss still coaches basketball while he's an insurance adjuster.

He was actually fired/resigned from his current HC gig a few months back, thanks to a documentary an acquaintance produced about the killings.

And he doubled down on the bullshit drug story earlier this year. His show cause was up, he was coaching some NAIA school, all he had to do was say he did something really dumb and apologize--or hell just refuse to do the documentary. Instead he made the same drug claims again that every investigation (both by law enforcement and the NCAA) has found to be completely untrue.

He had to resign that NAIA job and he'll probably go back to coaching high school somewhere. Dave Bliss is a special kind of stupid.
