Severing Baylor’s Bonds
“Mark this day down. Turn the corner of this page in the college football family bible. Someone in the gridiron-industrial complex stood up and said some standards are more important than winning.” ESPN’s Ivan Maisel on the firing of Baylor’s head football coach Art Briles.
+ “Baylor has been accused of failing to properly respond to claims of sexual assaults against members of the football team reported by at least six female students from 2009 to 2016.” As part of the shakeup, Ken Starr (yes, that Ken Starr) has been stripped of his president title, but will remain the school’s chancellor.
