Ken Starr out

[Graddean]

Just heard on Sirius radio that Starr is out as president of Baylor.  They said the action is not official yet.

[Harry]

If true that is so wrong that they are protecting Art Briles....Starr deserves blame too but Briles shouldn't get a pass.

[EagleMBA]

Have they named a special prosecutor?

[Moobs]

I heard the guys on The Ticket talking about it this morning.  Report is that it should happen by the end of the month.

[Harry]

This is not going to work -- if anything using Starr as the scapegoat makes people more angry at Briles.  Briles has to go.

Are you honestly surprised, though?  To me, this was a no-brainer.  They've (media) been able to find cases outside of the football team bubble that were also handled strangely.  So it's less about what is the football team doing and more about what is going on at a university level---and that goes straight back to the President's office.

Briles will be on a VERY short leash once Starr is out, though.

Also...after Penn St, I'll never again be surprised by what these P5 schools are willing to do to protect their money printing machines, er -football programs.

Bill Clinton. If he can get out of his first lady duties.

I am not surprised but I don't think it will fly.  To suggest that Briles did not know about any of these issues is ludicrous.  If he survives this I will be amazed.

I don't see how they can in good conscience keep Briles while firing Starr. I mean, I get it: Football. But this is bigger than that. I think they will eventually succumb to public pressure and let Briles go as well. Especially if more allegations surface, which they no doubt will.

Consider the source....Chip Brown from Whornsdigest... not happening.

[Army of Dad]

Am I the only one who sees the thread title and does a little mash up of Kobe's signing off to the crowd in LA and picture Starr doing the same?

[MeanGreen_MBA]

I bet if Briles is released, they come after Seth!!!  Just our luck

 

 

[Travis]

With Briles going unscathed... it makes me want to root against them all the more.

However Channel 10 here is Waco is reporting it. Saying it has not been confirmed. Waiting on a press release from Baylor.

Multiple sources reporting it now.  Lots and lots of smoke at this point.

Some of you till want Lil' Briles around these parts?  No thanks.

Don't worry, he will.

I saw one quote on another board from an anonymous Baylor insider who openly said that we can't turn our recent $300 million dollar investment (McLane Stadium) into a mausoleum by firing Briles and taking the chance that they lose all that money...

That's a fine Christian institution that the Baptists are allowing to really show off some wonderful traits...

Hey, Baylor...Joel Osteen thinks this is greedy and misguided //(sarcasm)

Could be just the first domino to fall.

Maybe Starr wanted to fire Briles?

Were there institutional hummers involved in this?  Because I really want to see Ken Starr disgraced over institutional hummers.

Ironically, it will be FAR worse sexual acts committed on his watch than anything that happened with Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky that ultimately have brought Ken Starr down from his perch. And it cost millions less for the taxpayers, too!! (This doesn't condone the activities of getting a cigar used as a....oh, never mind.)

[Christopher Walker]

Could any of ya'll imagine if we had hired Baby Briles over Seth...

I agree 100%. This is no way for the head of Baylor to behave.

They need a new head person.

If the whorns ever wanted to be able to exit the Big 12 and leave their 'Baylor problem' in the rear view mirror, now would be the time.
