Baylor sanctions.

I remember there was talk in the Baylor GDT about the "cleanliness" of Baylor.

Today, this comes out....

This may explain why Drew was looking at other jobs as well.

Well, can't say I'm totally suprised considereing that when you go from not being good to being one of the top programs in the nation overnight there usually is something illegal going on there. Worst part is that Baylor thinks they are better than everybody else because they are Baptist and don't need to cheat.

Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but I've never gotten that impression with Baylor.

Basically on ESPN boards when something else comes down on another program, Baylor will be the first ones to say that they don't cheat because Drew is a clean coach and and they don't have to cheat like the rest of the programs. It is, what is. Can't say I'm suprised. They were murdering teammates down in Waco a few years back, and now star players want to go there?

I can't recall the specific post, but you probably don't need to look much further than the threads on this board from our NCAA run. A few of the Baylor fans that showed up here at that time were pretty insistent that Drew was as clean as they come and that the program just had a bad rap for being known as a bit shady when it came to recruiting. If I recall correctly, they became pretty defensive when our resident AAU coach brought up some of those quasi-allegations.

Let's leave the school's church affiliation out of the discussion, okay? There's no question some Bears fans protested that their programs are very clean but that has nothing to do with the school's affiliation.

Alright, I can leave their religious affiliation out, but it has everything to do with the controversy with the sanctions

Re: Baylor sanctions.

The statues of limitations has darn near run out on some of this stuff;
Per the link provided by Rowdy Rabbit:

"Although most of the impermissible contact was made in 2007 and 2008, the report also indicated similar calls and texts were sent by Morefield in July 2010. Morefield sent the texts to non-scholastic coaches (i.e. summer-league coaches) during a time period when contact was prohibited."

The stuff in 2010 seems current enough for the sanctions to fall. Got to play by the rules.
Seems like they have toned the impermissible stuff down some, but one act is as condemning as 1000 acts.

Re: Baylor sanctions.

So article on ESPN mentioned something about a program where the NCAA interviewed top recruits about their recruitment. That program has sense been abolished. I wonder why? Seems that would be a decent checks and balance on some of the top level programs. Make sure they were playing by the rules.

Re: Baylor sanctions.

LOL, a major college athletic program may not be playing by the rules?

In other news, the sky is blue, the grass is green, and the sun rose in the east this morning.

All shocking revelations, stay tuned for more information....

Re: Baylor sanctions.

I guess these allegations don't really bother me. I find it worse when coaches get players out of trouble, when a school over recruits and then cuts the end of the bench guys who actually go to class. I find it bad when a school fires a coach or the coach leaves and then the recruits are not let out of their LOI's. I had the 1 and done rule where they only have to show up to class until December and then can do whatever they want after because they know they are going pro.

I think Baylor is dirty, but I think its one of those things where they couldn't prove the real dirty things they did. The Ohio player who says that Drew contacted him last year (he is a sophomore). Reports of dirty recruiting, , you go from a school that had a player murdered, was covered up by the team, weren't allowed to play out of conference games for a year to being a top 10 team in less then 10 years? They gave the modern day death penalty to Baylor basketball and they turned it around in a hurry. Maybe they are just that good, IDK.

No it doesn't.

Re: Baylor sanctions.

Personally I think it's humorous after their preposterous "Our school is clean...NOW" crap they pulled before the NCAA tournament game.

Also diggin in the deliciousness that Coach Mulkey and her staff are the main violators, and they got a ton of information from Griner and her Father.

Baylor can go suck an egg.

Re: Baylor sanctions.

If they have to forfeit wins from last season, does that mean we get our first big dance victory?
