Some of you saw the egregious bullshit former Baylor AD Ian McCaw tried to sell about the sexual assault scandal that rocked the football program and the school:
Liberty University Athletics Director Ian McCaw in a deposition said Baylor University undertook “an elaborate plan that essentially scapegoated black football players and the football program for being responsible for what was a decades-long, universitywide sexual assault scandal,” according to a motion filed Wednesday in Waco’s U.S. District Court.
McCaw said he was “disgusted” by Baylor regents’ racism and by a “phony” 13-page document held up by the board as a summary of a nine-month investigation into how Baylor responded to reports of sexual assault. He was questioned June 19 by lawyers representing 10 women who allege Baylor denied them educational opportunities protected by Title IX after they were assaulted. The motion includes excerpts from McCaw’s sworn testimony.
McCaw spent 13 years as Baylor’s athletics director and accepted the same role at Liberty in November 2016. At the height of the scandal in May 2016, Baylor regents sanctioned McCaw and placed him on probation, and McCaw resigned days later.
McCaw said he resigned because he “did not want to be part of some Enron cover-up scheme,” according to Wednesday’s motion.
No part of any cover up. Uh hunh. Right.
Make no mistake about it. His defense, such as it is, is completely vile: pay no attention to the student-athletes who were arrested and convicted of sexual assault nor to the football program that did its damnedest to protect them, because they were scapegoats in the face of a larger scandal.
Cry me a river, Ian.
Of course, this has given the usual suspect the opening you’d suspect he’d run through.
Ugh. These people.
I have only one thing to say in response.
What a fine Baptist institution. At least they weren’t dancing.

So, Ian is laying the groundwork for Briles to come to Liberty. That’s my read.
As an evangelical Christian, the headliners in this movement make want to puke. I can’t imagine what it looks like ftom afar.

Not good, ASEF. To put it very mildly – not very good at all.

Allegedly….31 football players committed 52 acts of rape from 2011 to 2014. Let that soak in. Ian McCaw is a fucking fool.

Do we know what the campus wide statistics were? I’m not as willing as some to totally disregard the notion that rape was a school-wide problem at Baylor. If the place had a culture of looking the other way and blaming the victim about sexual assault the real culprit was Ken Starr. As a father of 2 daughters this really sickens me.

Eh… the idea that McCaw and Briles had their hands tied by a campus culture is bullshit. Even if McCaw’s descruption of events is accurate, it still means he and Briles knew rapes were happening and did nothing about them.
It’s not McCaw/Briles OR Starr. It’s McCaw/Briled AND Starr.

I don’t give any of them a pass. Starr on down are pieces of shit in my book and they should all be in jail. I have no doubt there was a school-wide cover up, but that doesn’t excuse any one of them.

So he resigned because he didn’t want to be part of the coverup, but he was perfectly willing to say nothing before they got caught. Isn’t that con$cientiou$ of him.
