Yeah if they're allowed to have a team when this is all said and done (if found true) then I want MSU to go full on SMU and start paying people and cheating to the highest degree.
Unfortunately we have our own issues that embarrass me.

Also, not sure if I saw this on here a week ago, but how about Jay Paterno being elected to the PSU board of trustees? If I didn't hate that school and the disgusting pieces of shit associated with it already, that is the cherry on top.

That stuff will never work Mitch. The money they get through sponsors and TV money laughs in the face of the small amount they'd lose from fans.

sponsors are only paying for the eyeballs. if attendance and viewership drops, sponsor money will too.

i agree with you though that it won't work. the sad truth is, most college football fans - especially in Texas - don't give a shit about this, and will continue to support the game/Baylor regardless.

in a not surprising, related story, there's this. good old boy network always takes care of its own.

He can't even be trusted with a college football schedule..

"Liberty officials had planned to release their schedule later this spring, but President Trump forced their hand when he read the school?s future schedules aloud at Liberty?s graduation on Saturday."

Only way to get the NCAA to pay attention.. Stop going to games or watching on TV. Hit em where it hurts.

I disagree. Give Baylor an appropriately severe penalty ..perhaps just short of the "death penalty" and crush their football program. As disgusting as penn state is, the excuse was always "the players had nothing to do with it." In the case of Baylor, the players had EVERYTHING to do with it. Other programs would take notice for sure and have to put in place more controls.

Whack sparty too

Ehh, I don't necessarily agree with that sentiment. Lots of successful teams do very shady things, but don't stoop even this far. Having students hook up with recruits, giving them gifts, etc... I expect that to happen with a lot of the major programs.

But allowing stuff of THIS level to happen and ignoring people telling you it's going on? Even I, the most cynical human ever, wouldn't go that far.

a lot of people don't realize how sleazy Art Briles was either.

he showed his true colors in the lawsuits that flew back and forth last year. Both he and one of the victims were suing Baylor. Briles sued Baylor for libel & breach of contract.

After Baylor refused to settle with him for what he demanded, he issued a statement that he was going to personally apologize to the victim, making it appear he would cooperate with her in her suit against the University.

that forced Baylor back to the negotiating table, and they quickly paid him off. He then reneged on his promise to apologize... never did it, either in person or in writing.

thems just good Christian values, like they teach here in Texas. Hurr.

from the news reports, it looks like he also tried to downplay the settlement, and act like he had voluntarily withdrawn his lawsuit in order to seek "closure." Yeah, it was never about money...
