It seems this guy came with Rhule from Temple, so as much as I'd like to, I can't pin this one on institutional irresponsibility on the part of Baylor.  Yes, it's another black mark in Waco.  I'm just glad to hear Rhule dismissed him immediately.

...but for once your description was an understatement. He didn't just tell one of his players to lie, he called a team meeting to tell all the players and coaches to lie and make sure they were telling the same one.

To their credit, it didn't work. To the shame of college athletics, the assistant who made sure it didn't work was blackballed for life.

Baylor is apparently going to just go ahead and go for gold on this one, making sure that their record is increbily difficult to beat short of the entire athlietic department being charged under RICO and then tied to the murder of a couple journalists and an informant or two.

Baylor should erase its athletic department for about a decade, and should at least consider erasing itself completely. The level of hypocrisy laced with hubris in that institution is stunning. The entire Christian ethos is founded upon holding oneself to some higher, at least stricter, standard of behavior while you're alive.

I know! It's UNREAL! UNREAL that you think it's unreal and needs to be burned to the ground because of THIS!

Unreal that you let yourself be brainwashed by gobbledygook fairy tale fiction written by many unknown authors, translated many times over before into the English you know it from, and run through thousands of years worth of the telephone game, into having some alleged moral objection to prostitution because ancient con men wanted to control women and have them as property, and wrote their garbage with that goal in mind, among other things.

What about all the people at Baylor who pay a shrink to make them feel better, or get a "legit" massage, or pay to watch football which makes them feel good? What about all the services people do for people only for money and not for love, friendship, affection, boredom or lust? Why is all that shit fine?

Why is it perfectly fine and shameless to proclaim your love of your favorite pizza/donut/burger maker that never makes you food out of generosity or friendship, but only for money? 

Why is it fine to pay a coach millions to exploit already exploited people but it's not ok to pay someone for sex with a fee they set for themselves and think is fair?

The ONLY things wrong with it, that cause women to not have real free choices to do this, or to actually set the prices or get all the money and not be exploited and abused by pimps or slave owners, when any of that is true, are BECAUSE it's illogically illegal, and because of insane attitudes toward sex and women that all stem from the fake news of "religious" demagogues and their garbage infecting society for all, even those not crazy or stupid enough to believe in obvious bullshit.

My country and my world are fucked up in countless ways to obscene degrees by the fakiest stories sold to the dumbest and most ignorant people.

The way you believe in it, even if you claim not to believe in the religion that sold it, harms ME, puts ME in various dangers, curtails MY freedom and ability to pursue and achieve happiness in many different and sickening ways, just like it does to another 7 billion people, including YOU!

Baylor existed for 151 years and nothing happened. Then in 1996, they lifted the ban on dancing, and in only 20 years, the whole institution is collapsing!

I told you, dancing is the tool of Lucifer himself!

Should not be illegal.  It's just another way for feminist women to try and enslave men.

I think the argument is not should it be legal, it is currently illegal and so long as it is the coaches at Baylor should not be getting arrested for it. It's like if an ole miss coach was caught sneaking money to a judge right now. Maybe not the best look for the program.
