College coaches join the call for answers as Baylor allegations keep growing

More allegations of violence against Baylor players surfaced Wednesday as college football coaches and the rest of us clamor for answers.

My phone rang less than five minutes after I tweeted about Wednesday's "Outside the Lines" report on more allegations of violence against Baylor football players. It was the first of nine calls and texts I received over the course of the day from college coaches talking about this latest investigation into Baylor's handling of sexual violence cases involving its program.

"They're gonna have to fire him, aren't they?" a veteran college coach asked.

This is why good journalism is a dying art. "More allegations of violence against Baylor players" reads as as if the Baylor players were the ones being violated. More appropriate "More allegations of violence by Baylor Players". I was not an English or journalism major but for Pete's sake where are the journalistic standards today????? Any yes Art the Fart and his weeping vagina needs to go......

Head coach Art Briles' name appears in another Baylor allegation

1. Recently, a former Baylor student filed a lawsuit against the school, head football coach Art Briles and athletic director Ian McCaw, regarding the university's handling of former player Tevin Elliott. The defensive end was convicted in 2014 of sexual assaults that happened in 2012.

That lawsuit cites an ESPN Outside The Lines report in which another woman says she was told in 2012 that Briles already knew of other allegations against Elliott.

Both women said [Baylor's chief judicial officer [Bethany] McCraw's response noted that Kim, also a Baylor athlete, was the sixth woman to report such an incident involving Elliott.

"I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, six?'" Kim said. "We essentially asked, 'Well, why are there six?' and, 'Well, does the football team know about this? Does Art Briles know about this?' And she said, 'Yes, they know about it, but it turns into a he said-she said, so there's got to be, actually a court decision in order to act on it in any sort of way.'"

[...]

When contacted by Outside the Lines, McCraw said Kim's account was inaccurate, but she declined to comment further.​

2. Now, OTL reports a woman says Briles was told about an April 2014 incident involving another player:

An alleged victim who was a Baylor student told Outside the Lines that she notified football team chaplain Wes Yeary about what she had reported to Waco police in April 2014: that her boyfriend, a Bears football player, had physically assaulted her on two occasions. The woman said Baylor football coach Art Briles and university President Ken Starr also were told of her allegations. The woman told Outside the Lines that neither Briles nor the university disciplined her ex-boyfriend.

The woman told Outside the Lines she didn't press criminal charges against him because she was about to graduate and didn't think the school would punish him.​

Suspending or even dismissing players who are charged with crimes is a standard practice in college football. If a player is accused and not charged, punishment tends to be much less common. Still, the "six" incident alone would demand firing Briles, if it were to be proved, and the woman who said she "didn't think the school would punish" an attacker speaks to the entire university's problem.

It's posturing for a better negotiated settlement when they fire him.

IF they fire him. We're talking about Baylor here after all. Certainly haven't shown any desire to do the right thing in the past...
