Holy effing shit.
Congrats, NCAA. At least you’ve gotten around to this while Briles is still alive and on this earth.

UPDATE: This is like the punchline to a bad joke.
What it really is, is a decision not to get dragged into another Penn State situation.

The Vols, for once, are coming out of this looking shrewd. Take the early PR hit, save the buyout, then wait on the gummy jaws of a toothless NCAA to do nothing in two years anyway.

Except the Vawls, unlike Baylor, did shit that IS against current NCAA rules and bylaws, and for that, they should be crushed.

If the Vols did anything shrewd it was by accident. Foolmer and Pruitt were like the Apple Dumpling gang. But that might be giving them too much credit.

Also, what happens to Baylor right now is actually far more important than the penalties they’re given.
If it’s bad, the AAC might not even want them when the dust settles from the Big-12’s implosion.

The NCAA announced today sweeping penalties to punish the Baylor football program. The most notable penalty is that the NCAA has declared that Baylor must leave the Big 12 conference after 2025.

More than five years after Briles was fired. Seems about right. Like the major sanctions against USC in 2010 stemming from rumors and then investigations in 2006 about Reggie Bush’s career after he elected to turn pro. Punish the school and team with sanctions for activities that happened before anyone currently playing for the school was even there. While the USC thing at least involved ongoing investigations and amassing evidence into 2009, Art Briles was fired between the end of the season in 2015 and beginning of the 2016 season based on an investigation by an independent law firm requested the school which also resulted in the AD and president of the university resigning. Maybe I’m just daft, but why the hell couldn’t the NCAA issue sanctions swiftly based on the report the school’s hired firm issued in April of 2016 that, apparently, the school believed enough that they fired Briles a month later?

The NCAA has still not acted on the basketball shoe scandal etc. They are a useless entity. When I was with IRS we use to joke about we’ll be glad to hang you as long as you furnish the rope and the chair. That is how the NCAA does it’s enforcement. UGA hopefully learned it’s lesson with the Gurley/Green investigations. Lawyer up and deny everything.

Basically, Baylor was so bad about Title IX Compliance across the entirety of the school, the fact that Baylor’s athletic department failed to report allegations of sexual assault against its football players was not an impermissible benefit to the football program.
That certainly doesn’t jive with the public reporting on the matter:
“In February 2017, ESPN reported that Briles and his assistant coaches actively intervened in the discipline of football players, worked to keep their cases under wraps and tried to arrange legal representation for their players, according to a series of emails and text messages released by three university regents in a legal filing.”

You would think after Penn State, that the NCAA would have created a set of rules to punish off-the-field misconduct by programs. I guess Mark Emmert was too busy losing in court to bother.

NCAA sanctions or not, that dude is still radioactive. Especially on a college campus in the current climate. There’s been major blowback everywhere that’s tried to hire him, even as an analyst in the CFL.
