Man, I was watching clips from Colin Cowherd's show on YouTube yesterday & he mentioned Baylor failing to investigate sexual assault claims against Football players is actually a violation of Federal Law.

Most folks (including me) thought Art Briles was gonna survive this scandal because of everything he's done for Baylor Football. But when you think about about all the criminal & civil legal shyt that Baylor is gonna have to deal with because of this scandal, OH YEAH Briles had to go. The upcoming legal fallout is probably what got Briles fired.

“I walked in last year to a practice and the strength coach called me out, in front of everybody. ‘Who let this guy in here?’ All the players were hooting and hollering because I had said the year before that TCU was a better team than Baylor, and so they fed off of that energy from their strength coach and I’ve never been more disrespected in my entire career than I have been at Baylor.”

Ole Miss self-imposes postseason ban for women's basketball; reduced scholarships in football


Ole Miss sanctions women's hoops, football

Ole Miss has self-imposed a postseason ban in women's basketball and a double-digit reduction of scholarships for football as part of its response to an NCAA notice of allegations that was released Friday morning.

In its 154-page response to the NCAA, Ole Miss officials said the school "accepted responsibility for the violations that occurred and self‐imposed meaningful penalties."

The Rebels received a notice of allegations from the NCAA in late January but have released few details of the investigation.

Among the other penalties self-imposed by Ole Miss, according to the report: "The termination of four coaches, including the only two involved head coaches still employed when the violations were discovered; the disassociation of every involved booster; a post‐season ban in women's basketball; a double‐digit reduction of scholarships in the football program; a significant reduction in off‐campus evaluation days and official and unofficial visits in football and track and field; violation‐specific rules education across all involved sports; and a $159,325.00 financial penalty."

"In every one of these situations, the University carefully weighed the appropriate range of penalties and erred toward the upper limits," the report said. The Rebels were accused of 28 NCAA violations, according to the report, including 16 Level I violations, the report said.

"The fact that all but one of the 16 Level I violations arose from intentional misconduct committed by rogue former employees or boosters outside the University's direct control acting in contravention of rules education provided to them by the University," the report said. "Although a post‐season ban may be imposed in a Level I -- Mitigated case, the University believes a ban is unnecessary here based upon applicable precedent and because the most serious allegations occurred years ago, involving staff and student‐athletes long‐since separated from the University."

Among the NCAA's allegations regarding the Ole Miss football program:

• Former assistant coach David Saunders arranged for fraudulent ACT scores for three prospects in the summer of 2010. Saunders and former Ole Miss assistant Chris Vaughn were also accused of unethical conduct related to the testing fraud, and they are accused of providing temporary lodging, meals and entertainment for recruits in June and July 2010. In its response, Ole Miss officials agreed that the testing fraud occurred.

• Vaughn violated the NCAA cooperative principle by communicating with witnesses of an NCAA enforcement investigation, even after being admonished on several occasions to refrain from having such conversations. The NCAA determined his conduct to be a Level I violation.

• Between August 2014 and August 2015, an unnamed booster provided football players with impermissible extra benefits in the form of complimentary vehicle use, which the NCAA determined was a Level I allegation. Additionally, in June 2015, the booster provided a player with an impermissible, interest-free car loan. The NCAA said the monetary value of the extra benefits was approximately $7,495.

• The NCAA alleged Ole Miss officials failed to monitor the activities of the booster, a Level II violation.

• On or around August 22, 2014, an Ole Miss booster provided a football player with $800 cash, a Level 1 violation.

• Between June 7, 2013, and May 27, 2014, an Ole Miss booster provided extra benefits to a football player in the form of free lodging in Oxford, Mississippi, a Level 1 violation. The NCAA said the value of the benefits was approximately $2,253.

• During the 2012-13 academic year, an Ole Miss booster assisted the school in the recruitment of four prospects by engaging in recruiting activities and provided them with recruiting inducements totaling approximately $2,250. The NCAA alleges assistant coach Maurice Harris knew of the booster's involvement and, at times, facilitated his involvement, a Level 1 violation.

Looks like Baylor may have recruiting infractions according to Eric Nahlin:

Kendall was already done but I'm really looking forward to seeing the recruiting infractions piano dropped squarely on his head.

http://www.insidetexas.com/forums/posts/1676831/

There are lots of rumors out there. Some of them will be true. One thing I'm convinced of is that BU cheated their asses off. The real question will be if NCAA finally grows some balls with real punishment commensurate with their multi-year cheating.

Some aren't rumors so much as facts slow to reach the surface.
