OT: Art Briles is a Scumbag
Seems that Art has no problem using a rape victim to leverage some more money out of Baylor... promising to show up to a deposition and offer an apology and support for her, and then not showing up after he reached a settlement with Baylor the next day.
Highlight: "[Briles] used the threat of helping Jasmin in her lawsuit against Baylor as leverage to negotiate his wrongful termination claim against Baylor," Zalkin said. "He doesn't care about victims. He never cared about victims. He's using victims. He used them to help build up his football program, and now he's using Jasmin to leverage more money out of Baylor."

that want him back? They proposed that he serves a one-year "penalty" and then comes back to coach.
I think the S. E. Massengill company must have their HQ on campus...
win at any cost
So you want him to become a University president??? I would hope not.
You will never confuse me for a fan of Cheaty McSweatervest, but as far as I can recall, his vice was paying players, and acting like he was a pious man while doing so.
I dont recall the Bucks in trouble for rapes being covered up. So while I agree that Tres is a douche, it would seem Briles took it to the proverbial "next level".
I hope he gets Paterno'd.
like, he should be dead. no excuse for what he did.

I've seen other people suggest he jump to the NFL. What NFL team would want him, even without his rape scandal? His offense at Baylor is pretty far off of what NFL teams run, and seems to take a far amount of flack as the exact kind of offense that leaves its players woefully unprepared to play at the pro level.
Not to mention, as bad as they are at actually dealing with it, the NFL definitely has a PR problem of its own that it's trying to manage regarding violence against women. Briles' involvement in the Baylor rape scandal absolutely is baggage the NFL doesn't want to deal with.
What position? Certainly not QB probably not OLine, WR, or TE. RB?

What exactly is your problem with ducks? I think they're nice.
They probably don't taste as good as a Mallard, either...
I do hope someone without a family and nothing to lose kicks him square in the sack as hard as they can a few dozen times.
Lorena Bobbitt some how comes to mind - ouch!
I hear Draymond Green has some free time now.

Don't forget about me!
+1 for you Mr Clay Davis
When you think Baylor fans cannot sink any lower, they prove you wrong once again...
Look at this winner on Baylor Fan's site on this topic:

That's it. No one else owes her anything IMO.
And they are talking about a girl who got dragged away by the football player and raped.
Football fans are the worst...
except your last line about football fans, your painting with a very large brush and you covered all of us.
At this point, I am pretty sure that Art Briles and really the entirety of Baylor's athletic department has blown away the field for the Fickle Finger Of Fate award, so here you go, Coach Briles and company, for your unwavering ability to be tone deaf, defiant, even smugly vindictive and calculatingly cold in the face of the suffering you have caused to others.

go to any of those schools down south. They have a different way of "looking" at women they seem to quik to want to blame the women for wearing clothes that are perceived to be promiscuous. I can't help but ask should we be telling women to dress in Burkas?
that's the wrong finger!

He'll show up at a mid-major next season. His program was trash but I think he is escaping any charges, right? Someone will pick him up. 100%
Whilst I agree Briles may be scum, there is nothing in this that is surprising. No doubt his settlement with Baylor has a gag order. And that is likely to have been mandated by Baylor.
There is nothing offered by the writer (or the attorney) to show that Briles "used" his promise solely/primarily as a threat against Baylor. He may well have planned to do just what was stated.
I sure don't view a plaintiff's attorney as a reliable source.
And no, I'm not defending Briles. Just tired of the hack media that places a priority on grabbing headlines. And I find it sad that so many of us are wiling to believe whatever is written - as long as it's what we want to hear.
PS - I already quit drinking. Now I'm going to bed!
