Jury finds Baylor not responsible for alleged sexual assault by ex-football players

A jury in Houston took just a few hours on Wednesday to find Baylor University and three former football players not responsible for the alleged sexual assault of a former female student athlete in 2017.

The trial, which started May 20, was in some ways a test of whether Baylor had changed its ways since a pattern of mishandled sexual assaults, notably those involving football players, led to the firing of head football coach Art Briles and the eventual departures of president Ken Starr and athletic director Ian McCaw in 2016.

No surprise, Baylor avoids major penalties because sexual assault is a legal issue, not an NCAA rules issue. Did get slapped with some minor penalties and four years probation in relation to other recruiting violations uncovered during the investigation.

Baylor 'admitted to moral and ethical failings,' but avoids major NCAA penalties

The NCAA has finally released the results of its investigation into the Baylor football program.

On Wednesday, more than five years after BU fired head coach Art Briles amid a major sexual assault scandal, the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions handed down its ruling.

While there were violations uncovered, the NCAA panel that oversaw the case "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."

"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. Ultimately, and with tremendous reluctance, this panel agrees," the panel said in its decision. "To arrive at a different outcome would require the [committee] to ignore the rules the Association's membership has adopted — rules under which the [committee] is required to adjudicate. Such an outcome would be antithetical to the integrity of the infractions process."

Let's see; where would you place rape in comparison to trading paraphernalia for tattoos?
