I read an article that said all of the men who applied for the Baylor head coaching position were debriefed and told what they might get themselves into. Sounds like Baylor will have NCAA sanctions to deal with in the future.

They shouldn't be allowed to even have a program! Never forget.

Cleveland State is in for a beating again...

The NCAA flexed once, and we were the punching bag.

UNC, OU, PSU, BU and any number of revenue producing schools have done the crime but not the time. I will believe the NCAA when Mark Emmert is no longer in the pocket of the P-5.

So many things much worse than paying players have been overlooked.

My understanding is: 1. The Notice of Allegations was presented about 18 months ago and consists in major infractions. 2. Only certain Baylor leaders, Baylor counsel, and select coaching candidates (obviously including Aranda) have details regarding the NOA. 3. Baylor is defending itself.

Might the NCAA really come after Baylor? Absolutely. We could see Death Penalty II. As a private Christian university, they're certainly set up for the possibility. But I think that since Baylor HAS taken strong remedial action, and since a good period time has passed since all this occurred my guess is we'll see something like a two year reduction in scholarships with no bowl appearances.

We shall see if all this comes down before Aranda's team takes the field next fall.

This is the chance for the Big 12 to upgrade and boot our Baylor and let in SMU. Improve academics, improve eyeballs, improve recruiting in a major market, lower travel costs and never have to set foot in Waco again.

Would just be acknowledging what should have happened last time but for Ann Richards (and our own issues).

Baylor is currently the single most successful program in the NCAA. Men's basketball team has been ranked #1 for several weeks now. Don't need to say anything about the success of the women's program. Football ended up #13. Multiple other programs are highly ranked. They're doing something right down there. Would that we had such problems.

Death penalty 2? Come on bro, nothing significant will happen.

Yup. UT and A&M sure had our back in the 80s as well to fend off sanctions and keep us in the SWC.

Oh, wait...

We took actions with Larry and still got hammered.

Baylor deserves everything they end up getting, and more.

So it seems I got one guy saying nothing's going to happen and another saying that Baylor's going to get kicked out of the B12. Maybe. I'll go for the middle ground, two years no bowl and reduction in scholarships.

As for Baylor getting what they deserve, I'll just say that none of us want what we deserve. They've taken strong steps to prevent this from ever happening again.

They might lose a couple of scholarships but don't expect anything close to what the NCAA has done to SMU. Baylor has made itself a brand name with it's success in football and bball. Now if Texas has a say in how Baylor is treated...

Of course I don't think it will happen - just pointing out this is there chance to upgrade. On field success comes and goes. TV markets, location and academics are forever.

I agree with one of the posts, Wyoming should be very scared. Someone has to pay for these sins against NCAA amateurism rules. Baylor won't. They'll get a few scholarships yanked, a pat on the head for letting their coach get hired into the NFL, and maybe lose a Bowl appearance for one year. But some other G5 or FCS program is going to get nailed.

I know you are a big Baylor fan, but what they did is so abhorrent it's hard to believe they don't get significant penalties - especially since they were blatantly violating Title IX as well.

I would think not getting arrested for rape is an "impermissable benefit" violating NCAA regulations. Unless, since it is baylor, they offer this perk to all their students. They should form their own conference with penn state. I don't see how any parent could let their child attend that school mush less a daughter. Whatever happens to them it is not harsh enough.
