Baylor Bears (official thread)

I wonder if the "one year suspension" story was floated just to see if they dared.

Once more, oh so lucky with regards to the news cycle. No one is going to be talking about Briles for a long time until Orlando cools down.

I really don't think the Baylor or Stanford stories have seen anywhere near the time they should have based on the the absolute disgust both invoke. Rape is and continues to be a widely ignored problem in our society and as we have seen all to often and n these cases is almost condoned in some areas. I am really not sure how much more time the sports talking heads can spend on Draymond "nut buster" Green at this point. I'd much more prefer some discussion around the culture issues of these two stories than the NBA finals or Pete Roses hitting record.

Art Briles not going quietly as ex-coach accuses Baylor of wrongful termination

133517626-e1443052234855.jpg


Briles was named in an April lawsuit filed by a woman against both him and the university in which she claims she was raped by a Bears football player while Briles was the coach. The woman claimed that Briles, among others, was made aware of the alleged sexual assault but did nothing. It also alleged that Briles was aware of other assault claims made against the same player but, again, did not take any action.

In a response to that suit, Briles’ attorneys have filed a motion, the Associated Press has reported, in which Briles claims he was wrongfully terminated from his job by the university and that he has no plans to settle the federal lawsuit. Just last week, lawyers for the university had indicated to the judge that Briles was willing to settle.

In the report from HornsDigest.com, sources told Chip Brown that a settlement between Briles and the university would probably end up in the neighborhood of $20 million.

Based on the filing in the federal lawsuit, it appears Briles is going to at least attempt to get closer to the $40 million mark than that $20 million. At the very least, the motion, which also requests that BU turn over all of its files connected to the scandal, could provide Briles and his legal team fodder for these settlement talks, which could become more contentious before they’re resolved.

Baylor benefactor Drayton McLane has encouraged the school’s’ board of regents to “look at whatever evidence they have and make sure it merits what action they’ve taken”...

"Encouraged", huh? Let's remember who is doing the encouraging. :roll1:

McLane, whose name graces the $263 million Baylor stadium that opened in 2014, is a former regent for 21 years at Baylor and remains a regent emeritus. His donation of more than $20 million for the stadium was the largest capital gift in school history.

This could get interesting because, in a legal sense, he's got a point.
It's not the HC's responsibility or place to influence those decisions. Whether he knows is meaningless legally... the school is at fault for ceding that power and failing to act.
I wonder what Ped State has to say about all this since it's a carbon copy of the Joesus defense.
Both are eternally amoral shitbags though that deserve to be vilified. His refusal to go quietly could also cost him the opportunity to rebound? Who wants to hire a HC that sued his last employer after covering up rape? Well... I suppose Auburn is still a thing.

I haven't read Briles motion, so I don't know what his theory of the case is. But I would think that since he is in a position of authority over the alleged perpetrators, and is an agent of the University, he would have some duty to act on the information provided by the victim. Now, if he reports the incident to the University, they tell him to make it go away, and then the University later fires him over it, he probably has a case.

So, would that amount to Joesus telling his superiors at PedState that his assistant was raping children in their showers, and the FAX & EVIDENTS are that he fulfilled his duty?

Anyway,

It just boggles the mind and sickens me he's going to end up with an 8 figure settlement for being fired for covering up rapes.

right there with you.
