"... Baylor coach Art Briles denied knowing about Sam Ukwuachu's past issues with violence this morning. But this afternoon Washington coach Chris Petersen said he called Briles and gave him all the information about Ukwuachu."
Ouch
from reading these articles. My God, what the hell were they thinking. They apparently weren't. Horrible, just horrible.
Contrast this with us kicking a starting safety in justin cox off the team for an allegation of domestic violence. And cox was subsequently cleared.
Briles didn't think another coach would call him out. Guess they are still taking advice from the people who advised their basketball coach 10 or so years ago.Quote:

Goodbye Art Briles. You will not be coaching much longer.

You look at what happened at Vandy and Penn State and what not and now this and when you contrast with how relatively clean our locker room has been since Dan got here, it really opens your eyes on what a good job Dan has done on being honest, forthright, and selecting guys with good character, and if you frick up, you will pay for it with Dan ask Justin Cox. What he did aint near what was this.
The rapist got 6 months jail time plus probation.
That's confusing - the jury convicts him but recommends no jail time, just probation. Judge gives him 6 months.

If Briles is lying about not hearing about the player's past, he should be fired on the spot and never work on a college campus again. No excuse for this sort of thing.
Agreed. He should be banned from college football. I can't wrap my head around protecting a rapist so he may help you win some football gamesQuote:

sweet.
This is not the first incident with cover up or at least poor investigation with a football player and sexual assault. At this point it's not just Briles who should be under fire and forced out. I've always liked him from what he appeared and the job he has done at schools. But right now the appearance of a cover up and delay tactics to get him on the field added to there sorted past, I think the administration, athletic department, and head coach in this case may need to be flushed and started over. Not to mention local law enforcement and even possibly the DA keeping things under wraps to protect the program. And this young woman seemed to have handled this attack appropriately and immediately. And she is the one that had to transfer while he stayed in school and got his degree.
One of the biggest reasons I hope we keep Dan a long time is how our program seems to be run. Athletic department as a whole seems pretty firm and straight with the expectations of our student athletes.
Not positive, but think he was not charged with rape, rather some kind of second degree sexual assault. That's prob why the sentence was lighter than one would think. Prosecutor prob went after the lesser charge to ensure a conviction.Quote:

There is now a letter surfacing from the Boise AD required by the NCAA for all transfers stating he wasn't dismissed from Boise's team for any disciplinary reasons. That makes Briles look a little better. Not much, but a little. Still should probably be canned over this if the athletic department has any balls.
Hell, the girlfriend will probably marry the guy if he has an NFL future.................
