An NCAA panel ruled on Wednesday that Baylor University will not be punished for the sexual abuse scandal that its football program between 2011 and 2016.
The NCAA announced that its Division 1 Committee on Infractions (COI) “could not conclude that Baylor violated NCAA rules when it failed to report allegations of and address sexual and interpersonal violence committed on its campus.”
In its report, the NCAA said the committee could not conclude that Baylor or Briles violated NCAA rules by failing to report allegations of sexual and interpersonal violence committed on the campus. The NCAA's decision is the latest example in which it has stepped away from punishing schools for issues related to sexual misconduct by athletes; the NCAA declined to take action in a case involving Michigan State and Larry Nassar and its athletic program in 2018.thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/567434-baylor-wont-be-punished-for-sexual-abuse-scandalwww.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/32003986/ncaa-not-punishing-baylor-sexual-assault-allegations

We gotta jump all over that before it gets out of hand! Sex crimes? Bah. Nothing to see here. Academic fraud for decades? Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain! ... but openly public phone calls with kudos to pre-teens for great accomplishments! Hurry up and put that fire out right away. Nip that horrible behavior in the bud! |

Here is some clarification of why the "punishment" was almost non existent:
"Baylor admitted to moral and ethical failings in its handling of sexual and interpersonal violence on campus but argued those failings, however egregious, did not constitute violations of NCAA rules," the NCAA panel investigating Baylor said in its decision. "Ultimately, and with tremendous reluctance, this panel agrees."
Also:
Why didn't the NCAA punish the university for the scandal?
In the decision released this week, the NCAA said the culture of sexual violence and a lack of accountability spanned the entire Baylor University campus — both inside athletics and out.
The panel said that because football players didn't receive any preferential treatment when it came to sexual assault claims, it couldn't penalize Baylor for failing to act.
So because Baylor treated the victims of sexual violence, in and out of the athletic department, with equal disdain, they couldn't punish the athletic department!!

I am not going to read the NCAA rule book but it would seem that if they looked hard enough they would find a sentence somewhere saying that it is the responsibility of the schools to provide a safe environment for both education and athletics. Or they could do like many public institutions when they want to fire someone, just sanction Baylor and tell them to sue if they disagree, with the understanding that the details of the assaults will again be front page news.
My own suspicion is that the NCAA is aware that the problem goes way beyond just Baylor. If they were to open that can of worms the dominoes would fall.

So because Baylor treated the victims of sexual violence, in and out of the athletic department, with equal disdain, they couldn't punish the athletic department!! Same BS as their excuse for not punishing UNC. So, Rick Pitino (or whomever worked for him that was responsible) should have invited a few frat boys who can't play ball to the stripper and whore-filled parties. That would be better, right? Burglary is fine as long as we take from everyone? Is indiscriminate killing somehow better than murder? More. Not only is the NCAA backing down from valuing the dozens of friends, lovers, daughters .... They're also promoting the brand, and hyping the very athletic program under which these crimes occurred. They've been allowing the school to reap millions from TV and participation in tournaments already for years. Now they simply abdicate responsibility altogether. Want to salvage the NCAA? Grow a set of kahunas and stand for something for once. You claim to be the keepers of integrity, yet nobody ever sees that virtue or any other coming from the bloated bag of pontificators. Maybe Baylor's case would have been ultimately won in the courts, but at least you would go down fighting for right in this blatant case of misuse of humans. Isn't that one of the things we value in athletics? Fight. Go down giving it everything you've got? Play like a Champion? Treat your fellow competitors - fellow humans - as family. Care for them and make them better? How is this not the perfect opposite behavior? |
