I agree in part. Title IX is designed to force Universities to investigate and properly address issues of sexual and domestic assault. If they do not investigate they can, and should, lose the funding. It DOES NOT preclude the schools from involving the police when and if the complaints are logged. In fact when schools do not engage outside police departments (even if they have campus police) they tend to get themselves in these type of situations. This part of Title IX was put in place because schools often did exactly what Baylor did.
This ****storm is just beginning. The NCAA will be forced to address it once the courts are through with it. You should notice that the NCAA and the Big12 is strangely quiet so far. This won't follow the PSU/Pedophile path. PSU got off because the NCAA is so poorly run and handled it like the Key Stone cops. Unfortunately there is no Title IX for little boys knowingly getting raped in college football showers. Baylor knowingly and systematically allowed this all to happen. What ever they get should be tripled.
If Art Briles ever coaches another football game the team that hires him should be boycotted. And BTW - what does it say about the other Baylor coaches, players and fans who two weeks ago clambered in his defense and rallied for him to come back? Sound familiar PSUers?
