Besides the obvious problems with Baylor football of late, resulting in the termination or resignation of the head coach and AD,along with the demotion of University Presidenth Kenneth Starr, there comes the problem tha seven recruits who signed their Letters of Intent (think of it as a form of indentured servitude) want to be released from them so they can go to other schools. That isn't the easiest thing, because the school can be a real di[fficult organization] about such things.
It seems that the athletic department's incompetence extends to this area, at least in one case. Turns out the LOI is invalid bdcause the school didn't properly submit the paperwork.

Always looking for that silver lining; I see in the near future that getting good seats at their beautiful new stadium will be much easier.

Wasn't that the same same Ken Starr who was so concerned with ferreting out every last detail of Bill Clinton's sex life, but couldn't be bothered to look into multiple cases of rapes of female students at his university?SpacemanSpiff wrote:along with the demotion of University Presidenth Kenneth Starr,

Re: As if the Baylor Football scandal isn't enough
No, a completely different Ken Starr. This Ken Starr was responsible for protecting the university. The other was responsible for prosecuting the President. You see, he's a lawyer. They CAN have it both ways depending on which side their on. "It just their job.", or so they say.silverscreenselect wrote:Wasn't that the same same Ken Starr who was so concerned with ferreting out every last detail of Bill Clinton's sex life, but couldn't be bothered to look into multiple cases of rapes of female students at his university?SpacemanSpiff wrote:along with the demotion of University Presidenth Kenneth Starr,

Re: As if the Baylor Football scandal isn't enough
Yes this is me posting a link to NPR. It's not directly related to the Baylor, but it is germane to the campus sexual assault issue.
There's a saying about drunks - that men wake up in jail cells, women wake up in strangers' beds. That incredibly broad, possibly sexist generalization actually rang true for writer Sarah Hepola during her drinking days, when she considered alcohol the fuel of all adventure. Many of those adventures ended with her in bed with a man she didn't know, not sure of how she got there. Her memoir, "Blackout: Remembering The Things I Drank To Forget," comes out next week in paperback. It's the story of how drinking fit in with and distorted her idea of being an empowered woman. Terry spoke with Sarah Hepola last July when her book was first published. She had just marked her fifth year of being sober. A warning for parents of young children - during the interview, Hepola will talk about the impact of drinking on her sex life and self image. But there is nothing explicit in the conversation.

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Re: As if the Baylor Football scandal isn't enough
I consider "university" to include its students, faculty, buildings, name, mascot, and regents. Also reputation.Bob78164 wrote:Fixed that for you. --BobBackInTex wrote: No, a completely different Ken Starr. This Ken Starr was responsible for protecting the university and its students.

So no, you didn't fix it. You put "number" after PIN.

You would think Mr. Starr would be a bit more savvy when dealing with the media.
