she had some damning comments in the article I saw this morning on the Chronicle's website. Basically what we already knew, but openly making the statement that the school was more concerned with protecting the school than the students...
Pretty much. She laid it our pretty bare, and her lawyer's comments were also pretty damning. I am no lawyer, but it sure sounds like she got the better of Baylor in mediation and probably for good reason. Then Baylor possibly broke the law by providing details from the mediation? ( In an obvious attempt to slander her.) What a cesspool that place is.
So, her first response to hearing that Baylor was dismissing sexual assault allegations was to try and blackmail Baylor into making her rich to help them cover it up, and eventually decided to "do the right thing" because it would 2 million bucks to buy her and 1.5 million wasn't sufficient? Glad that in the end more of Baylor's BS was brought to light, but she's no hero.
I am reserving judgment on Baylor's claims given that their record for truthfulness isn't exactly what one would call stellar...further, discussions of mediation are to remain confidential. As such, she cannot refute them without ALSO being accused of breaching the statutory provisions regarding confidentiality. In short, I could easily see Baylor making stuff up to discredit her...
this after the former rape victim (from another school, Oregon St I think) who went to bailer to address sexual assault problems on college campuses and was pulled aside by an assistant football coach (Kendall??) and was told that there was a "conspiracy" against bu?? and the hits just keep on coming...
One day, one day Bailer will be exposed for all that was reported by Pepper Hamilton and or by victims that didn't accept hush money. Perhaps also by those that breach the confidentiality clause of their hush money agreements to get the truth out.
The hits just keep coming: http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsport...aylor-latest-involving-bears-ex-running-back/
Shouldn't they just open a "They covered up allegations of sexual assault and treated the accusers like crap" investigation?
Heheh I made that comment before Herbie made his. But come to think of it, how does one correlate UT to a cesspool, when there is Baylor right up the road? Herbie's moral outrage is very misdirected.
I have a big picture of the feds coming to Waco. First stop is Ken Starr - "Mr Starr, you know nothing correct? Has everything been handled? Good, thank you. Where's the best BBQ?" Next meeting is with Art Briles - "You have no knowledge of these allegations correct? Good, where's the best BBQ?" Meeting with McCaw - "You seem more like a sushi guy and I guy that never had a clue. Thanks for your time." Meeting with Board - "Each of you has a pad and paper in front of you. On that, write what you knew followeed by your favorite BBQ place in McLennan County". "We find no wrong doing and no really good BBQ"

ESPN http://www.espn.com/college-footbal...id-art-briles-failed-alert-police-allegations A law firm hired by Baylor University to investigate the school's handling of sexual assault and violence cases involving athletes determined that 17 women since 2011 reported incidents of sexual and domestic violence involving 19 football players, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday afternoon. Four of the cases involved alleged gang rapes.
Wow, I just skimmed the WSJ article. To me, this is more worthy of the death penalty than SMU. Talk about TOTAL lack of institutional control. And the damage caused was MUCH worse than some players getting money. I pray for those women. They will NEVER escape the emotional and probably physical scars from such barbaric behavior. Firing Starr and Briles is not nearly enough. How bout forcing Baylor to forfeit all bowl revenue from the past three years and donate said revenue to the victims ... just a thought
So are plenty of people in the athletic department, other university and college offices, and the campus/Waco PDs who all helped with the cover up. I understand the sentiment but I think that goes too far. People do recover. Their life isn't over forever.
The irony, and reality, is that Baylor, overlooking criminal behavior to keep elite players on the field, is undefeated and #8 in the country while the coach who goes overboard to run a clean program, to the point of dismissing and benching players not living up to high moral standards, is on the hot-seat with fans calling for his head. That's one of the reasons I think Charlie is worth keeping around.
