Baylor fined $2M by Big 12

Baylor was fined $2M by the Big 12 for "reputational damage to the conference and its members" in the wake of the sexual assault scandal two years ago.

The Big 10 (I'm looking at you Delany) needs to put on their big boy pants and do the same to MSU. They should have done it the PSU, but that ship has sailed.

On a related note, I just saw a bit on ESPN (I know...) in which Franklin detailed his bathroom hand-washing habits to show how much of a germophobe he is. Strange coming from someone who coaches at a school with so much dirt on its hands.

Art Briles can't even get a job at a Subway or Wendy's. That says a lot about what happened at Baylor.

As for Sparty, let them continue their "helmet on only for UM game" marches followed by 3rd worst O performance in their history at 94 yards.

p.s. I am surprised that BIG hasn't said or done something about MSU Prez Engler's comments about the fine.

OSU, MSU, and Maryland? Does that make sense? You've got a program that basically sanctioned lying about knowing a staff member committed domestic abuse, a horrific sexual abuse scandal that was enabled by an administration, and a kid who died for entirely preventable reasons. In all instances, the schools let the perpetrators get off lightly.

What about a fine for OSU and Maryland and Rutgers and Indiana, too?  We need a Big Ten East Commissioner. Divisional reputational damage. Billions of dollars in fines!
