ESPN college football analyst Paul Finebaum called on the Big 12 Conference
to end Baylor's season for culture surrounding the program due to the
ongoing sexual assault scandal engulfing the school and football program.
"You know the school is going to do nothing. The board of regents are tone-
deaf to everything we've seen and learned about this school in the previous
couple of years," Finebaum said on College Football Live. "So I think it's
incumbent upon the Big 12. I think it's incumbent upon Bob Bowlsby, the Big
12 commissioner, to immediately suspend the rest of the season. That may
sound harsh, that may sound rash. But I believe that if he doesn't I believe
the Big 12 is complicit in everything that transpires and continues to
transpire at this school. I think something has to happen."
The night before Baylor's loss to TCU on Saturday, Baylor assistant coaches
released a statement denying that fired head coach Art Briles failed to act
after learning about a gang rape involving his players. Receiver Chris Platt
sent a tweet that seemed to imply that Baylor's blackout on Saturday was a
tribute to Briles -- which Platt and a university spokesperson later denied
and credited to the rivalry with TCU.
At a tailgate across the street from the stadium this weekend, a local store
sold shirts with Briles' initials on the front, which Baylor fans lined up
to purchase. There were reports that a police officer escorted out a TCU fan
trying to take pictures of the shirts. And a banner with those same "CAB"
initials hung from a luxury box inside McLane Stadium during the game.
"I've covered college football for more than 30 years and I don't know when
I've seen a program as disgusting and despicable as this one," Finebaum said
. "It's a total disgrace. This school, the culture around this program, has
no moral compass. It has no common decency."
Sexual assault awareness activist Brenda Tracy called on Baylor to end its
season in a statement to ESPN on Sunday. Some Baylor fans began to harass
Tracy on social media following her statement.
On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that the NCAA has informed
Baylor that it won't impose "sweeping sanctions" like it did to Penn State
following the child molestation scandal that consumed that school. |
