Yeah, yeah, I know it’s coming from the questionably credible Chip Brown, but I can’t say this description of what Baylor’s brain trust is thinking right now sounds that inconceivable.
Multiple sources connected to Baylor told HornsDigest.com football coach Art Briles has a better chance of keeping his job after the school’s rape scandal than BU president and chancellor Ken Starr.
The sources said Starr will probably be reassigned to a position in BU’s law school as a result of the failed leadership displayed after multiple rape claims made by female Baylor students against five BU football players all but went ignored…
Briles, who has taken an irrelevant football program to two Big 12 titles in the last three years (including a bunch of new athletics facilities), is sometimes referred to by Baylor brass as “Moses.” He will continue on as football coach, and Ian McCaw would continue as athletic director – barring any evidence in the independent review by the Pepper Hamilton law firm showing an overt cover-up by either Briles or McCaw, BU sources told HD.
The hope would be a new president at Baylor could establish a strong relationship with Briles to make sure nothing like this ever happens again.
You don’t fire Moses. But it’s hard to see how you rein him in, either. Especially after he gets the message that the school president is more expendable than he is. After all, how many championships has Ken Starr won?

Your last point is 100% accurate. This is how Paternos and Knights are formed– the coaches who think they ARE the university.

@gastr1: And that is how it gets out of hand. Imagine someone now trying to rein in Saban. Just hope he has more sense than ones mentioned above. It is hard to be GOD and act accordingly.

Don’t forget, Moses was allowed to see the promised land, but was denied entry.

He wasn’t going anywhere anyway. You don’t let a guy off the hook who just smashed Commandments #11 through #15. And he can take Starr with him.
Starr’s right and Starr’s bright; the first stars Art sees tonight.
Wish; he may and wish; he might; until Starr’s ass disappears from sight.

Moses freed his people from slavery and led them to the promised land, at great personal cost to himself.
Briles freed his people from football irreverence and led them to a couple trophies, at great personal cost to more than a few of the nearby women.
Baylor as an institution wraps itself in supposed faith, and yet the people running it display an appalling lack of self-awareness about what the great figures of that faith managed to accomplish and how their own priorities would make those great figures into enemies.

Should be “irrelevance” not “irreverence” in the second paragraph. Heh. (Fits with the point of my post though.)
And I apologize for the self-righteous tone – it’s not normally who I am. Hypocrisy in others brings out the bad in me as well.

Let’s not forget that criminal enterprise otherwise known as the Baylor Basketball team. The entire athletic department is a cesspool and the NCAA seems to have no interest in the matter unlike the Penn St. situation.

Ken Starr, president
Baylor’s 14th president was hired in 2010 from Pepperdine University near Malibu, Calif., where he’d been dean of the law school. His mandate at Baylor, according to an official biography, is to increase the university’s “influence in the nation and around the world.”
Mission Accomplished!
