You're either a bigger dipshit than usual, or you think we all are. Nobody would sincerely label that as "cleared of wrongdoing"Quote:

8 per year equals 32. 10 for buyout. 42. Sorry wasn't clear in my post.Quote:

IF a college aged girl reported a sexual assault to him and he did nothing about it, such as report it to the police or administration, he's a POS. You don't have to have training to be a decent human being. If we get down that far and Lebby is there then so be it. Briles should be nowhere around the program in my opinion.Quote:

But even if you want to go so far to say he's exonerated on that one case, there's still dozens of others where he's not.Quote:

Have you had a serious conversation where you LISTENED to a 16 - 21 year old zoomer? Kids these days are some of the most passionate and radical for any cause.Quote:

It's not only a risk in the football since, it's a horrendous risk in the public perception arena.
I'm disappointed it's gotten this far.
Thanks!Quote:

Bingo!Quote:

If you want to say a court simply got him off the hook, then so did OJ as well.
But Briles, and his family was doing some shady crap at Baylor.
Let me edit: Saying it was shady is actually too nice a term for what Briles was doing. If it was anyone here who had a daughter handled by Baylor and Briles the way the did, I would put money down one of you would have put him in the hospital for it.
Here is the article of Petersen calling out Briles. Anyone here trying to defend this POS needs to get off this board.

" Baylor coach Art Briles denied knowing anything about Ukwuachu’s violent past, but Petersen essentially called Briles a liar in a statement Friday released to ESPN.com.
"After Sam Ukwuachu was dismissed from the Boise State football program and expressed an interest in transferring to Baylor, I initiated a call with coach Art Briles," Petersen's statement said. "In that conversation, I thoroughly apprised Coach Briles of the circumstances surrounding Sam's disciplinary record and dismissal."
Petersen’s side of the story is far different from Briles' account. When asked if Boise State informed him of linebacker’s disciplinary record, Briles said all the coaching staff knew about the defensive end before recruiting him was that he was depressed and homesick. "
All this pearl clutching is just so typical of the Mitippy Tate way. Wake the 17 up folks. This has become a zero sum game that is driven by ESPN/ABC Disney. They will dictate what when and where for the foreseeable future in college athletics. We have a product to put on the field that sells or not. If we don?t we?re out period. Get used to it.
