This report is scathing. I can't believe Starr and the AD survived this. What went on at Baylor seems worse than what went on at Penn State. At Penn State they just turned a blind eye to allegations while the Baylor staff and administration not only turned a blind eye but they discouraged complaints, suppressed allegations, and ACTIVELY RETALIATED against complainants.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Baylor: the same school nailed for both football AND basketball violations back in the 2000s

I guess the next thing is the NCAA putting UT-Arlington on probation?

If only UCLA would have fired Alford when similar accusations came up instead of being a bunch of pansies.

This is bad, but I'm not sure that it is worse than Penn State. According to a recent report, Joe Paterno knew of Jerry Sandusky sexually molesting young boys as early as 1971. The university kept him on the football staff until 1995, and after he retired, they allowed him to continue to use university facilities in activities that involved young boys.

This is true. But Penn State basically turned a blind eye to sexual violence. It seems from the report that Baylor intimidated women into not making complaints and in one case retaliated against a woman who did make a complaint. They literally took action to help rapists get away with it.

Baylor deserves whatever follows. They not only suppressed evidence of violence against women, they intimidated at least one victim. Penn State allowed it to go on for decades, and even to continue after the perpetrator retired.
