... if you enjoy raping coeds.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/article...ll-report.html

To add a touch of irony to this scandal, there's Ken Starr - the former Baylor President. Remember him? He's the former "Special Prosecutor" who spent four years and $40 million [taxpayer] dollars going after Bill Clinton for the "high crime and misdemeanor" of receiving blowjobs from Monica Lewinsky. (Excuse me, Mr. Starr charged Clinton with the high crime and misdemeanor of "lying" about having consensual sex with Ms. Lewinsky. Thank you Fox News Channel for the clarification.) So all these sexual assaults are going on right under Mr. Starr's nose and he claims blissful ignorance - while simultaneously agreeing on the phone with Baylor's [former] head football coach to cover up and look the other way by reinstating football players previously sanctioned for acts of violence against women.

Mr. Starr claimed blissful ignorance - that he didn't know all these rapes were going on - even as one of the "jocks" was being tried, convicted, and sentenced to 20 years in prison. Good fine "Christian" Ken claims he didn't know any of this until it began showing up in the newspapers and the university's Board of Regents finally showed him the door. Not to worry though ... It looks like good guy Ken has another job lined up - with the Trump administration.

Starr is reportedly on the shortlist for the position of ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom. The post is tasked with the promotion of religious freedoms around the world.

In fairness, this story absolutely deserves more attention. Absolutely ****ed up.

There's nothing "made up" about this story. Tevin Elliott didn't get convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison on made up charges or false evidence. He received a fair trial - with all his due process rights - and was convicted by a jury of his peers. Twelve individuals heard the evidence and unanimously agreed that he was guilty. I haven't read the trial transcript or details of Mr. Elliott's trial, but I suspect he may have been offered a plea bargain deal - which he apparently rejected. He apparently thought he could beat the rap (or get a hung jury) so he told the prosecutor to stuff it. If that was the case, then not only is Elliott a rapist and a violent thug - he's also an idiot.

Other Baylor football players have been charged and convicted. The head football coach and the athletic director - plus several assistant coaches - are not fired based on a "made up" story. Text messages, released to the press by angry [former] Baylor staff, clearly show Art Briles telling his assistant coaches that [President] Starr will reinstate a football player dismissed from the Boise State team for acts of violence committed against women while he was playing for Boise State. (In allowing Briles to reinstate this ex Boise State player, Ken Starr overruled Baylor's provost who felt [strongly] that allowing such an individual to play for Baylor would send "the wrong message" to the rest of the Baylor student body, (i.e. that the football players didn't have to abide by the same rules as the rest of the student body.)

Briles also brags in some of the text messages about the fine police officers of the Waco Police Department who helped cover up the crimes by actively discouraging - and in some cases threatening - victims in an effort to discourage them from reporting alleged rapes. (Briles even intimated in one of his messages how great it was having such a cooperative police force on his side.) No wonder the football players thought they could get away with anything ... When the police are also part of the criminality, (and you're a rapist), you can't lose!

On top of all this criminal activity and corruption, there are a plethora of civil lawsuits being filed by the victims against the university. Some of those cases have already been settled - probably for millions. No university, business, or individual pays millions [to settle a civil lawsuit] based on a false story. Paying millions to make such lawsuits go away is an implicit admission of guilt. (One can only imagine how many of the regents are worried as to what might come out about them if any of the civil suits actually go to trial ...)

Nice dodge trying to dismiss this as just another "made up" story.

The biggest crock in all of this is that the NCAA won't apply the death penalty...Bailor is a far more egregious situation than even Penn State was as far as issues in the athletic program. Remember that it was ALSO the program that had a basketball coach help try to cover up a murder committed by a player.

The icing on the cake is when the newly hired strength coach gets popped almost right away for a prostitution charge in Waco...nothing shows lack of institutional control quite like adding that to the already-huge pile of crap the program compiled.
