I look forward to this either way. If Baylor goes through with firing Briles, we will get to enjoy the implosion of Baylor football once again. If they retain Briles, we get to enjoy the explosion in the media. We win either way.

What I'm hearing from Baylor sources is Bries had 8 years/$40 million remaining on his contract. Don't forget Baylor had to pony up to keep Briles from going to UT a couple of years ago. If they fire him, they must prove he violated the terms of that contract in court. If the Justice Department brings charges against him for Title IX violations as looked likely a couple of weeks ago, they are off the hook if he's convicted. But now it appears the Justice Department IS NOT going to bring charges which leaves Baylor on a $40 million hook. Apparently they could get out of most of the money they can show he violated some kind of ethics clauses in his contract, but there's a huge difference in people being willing to tell an investigator what happen and being willing to appear in open court and testify.

Thus, there is the possibility of a one or two year suspension followed by Bries reinstatement. 

Keep your popcorn handy. 

 

EDIT - Here's an article I found, but it doesn't mention the Feds not bringing any charges as some Baylor folks mentioned.

This.  All the media I've heard/read is losing their minds, but they aren't trying to look very hard.  Going even further, if they can't cleanly fire him for cause because they can't come up with enough hard evidence, he is certainly going to turn around and sue for at least double what they owe him.

It's a bad situation down there that just seems to be getting worse.

I feel sorry for the victims that this is just being considered. It will be a true tragedy if Briles is retained. I get that college football makes more money than anything and making money is important, but it should NEVER be put ahead of keeping the students safe. I applaud these women's bravery for coming out. It'a shame that victimized women feel like they can't come clean about an incident because the rapist is a big football star.

Surprised when I first heard it but knew it had to do with that huge contract he's sporting.  They'll end up retaining him with a suspension. Briles better keep his asshole puckered because Baylor is looking to can him if he even farts in the wrong direction...

Can we trade UNT90 to Baylor for two fans to be named later?   He will definitely have all the answers they need and is an expert on contracts.   

Don't forget scheduling.

Harry should rename this place GoMeanBears

This.

Send the victims a message, we don't really care what happens to you if football wins. That is our family value.

On the plus side, hiring him back ought to boost the size of the jury verdicts that start coming in when victims begin suing.

Above it all — above the playbook, the high school connections or the eye for coaching and football talent — what pushed Art Briles to turn Baylor from historic doormat to record-breaking powerhouse was the man’s defiant pride. In fact, it was that personality trait that breathed life into all his other facets as a head coach.

And now it’s set to become Baylor’s worst enemy.

According to a report from the Associated Press, Briles has no intention of settling a lawsuit brought against himself and his former employer by a victim of the sexual assault scandal that detonated the Bears’ football program and rocked college sports as a whole. In fact, Briles’ attorneys are demanding Baylor turn over its documents on the sexual assault scandal while accusing the school of wrongful termination

      Caponi fired

      Same here. I am tired of trying to convince my group to re-enlist their time and money to football at UNT. On the other hand I have no issues getting excited for basketball. We have a basketball program that is deserving of our support!

      Odus Mitchell - What Exactly are Too High Standards at UNT?

      We have only had 4 coaches [I missed Jack Sisco] since 1913 out of a total of 18 who exited North Texas with winning records, Hayden Fry being the last in 1978. Goals and objectives must be realistic and obtainable with a little pie in the sky. Quite honestly I have no idea what we our standard should be, only what it has become . However, expect more are you will get less ,which seems to be the norm for our football program.

      Caponi fired

      I’ll say this as well - There are people in my group of 20+ season ticket holders that have held them since 2003 questioning if they’ll renew next year because it’s not fun anymore. It feels hopeless after 20+ years. They’re just saying, I’ll keep supporting basketball because at least we have a real program and coaching staff that we can all believe in through wins and losses. No one believes in the football coaching staff - except Patrick Cobbs - who we might as well elevate to HC. He’s the only one that actually produces and legitimately gives a shit about UNT. This program’s situation is dire whether the AD realizes it or not.

      Caponi fired

      I certainly am not making excuses for the termination of Caponi and agree that it was overdue. However I am surprised that our AD and not HC was the one who reportedly pulled the trigger. I owned a medical device sales agency for 30 years and can testify that no one like firing an employee. In fact those who do , unless its a really egregious act, usually wait longer than the should because the real mistake was made by you in hiring them in the first place. Having said that I have never terminated an employ that didn't expect it and in most cases were relieved that the ax finally dropped.
