Does Briles get a free pass?

Although Baylor coach Art Briles maintains he did not know about Sam Ukwuachu's past history of violence against a woman at Boise State before accepting him as a transfer, at least one other school did.

Florida considered taking Ukwuachu in May 2013, but then-Gators coach Will Muschamp decided against it after a Boise State athletic department employee detailed Ukwuachu's troubles with a girlfriend, according to two former Florida athletic department employees.

That included the former freshman All-America defensive end's alleged physical abuse of his girlfriend and an allegation that Ukwuachu put his fist through a window while drunk at the couple's home, one of the ex-staffers said. (Ukwuachu was not charged in either incident.)

"There was no way," one of the former Florida employees told The Inside Read of Ukwuachu. "[Muschamp] wouldn't touch him."

Interesting. So did Boise shut up after that or did Baylor ignore?

and this from the same article...

Ukwuachu also wasn't completely forthcoming with Florida about his relationship with his former girlfriend, the former Gators athletic department employee said. But the Boise State athletic department employee was clear about Ukwuachu's issues, according to the former Florida staffer.

Said the ex-Florida official: "There was absolutely no doubt."

It looks like he damaged property at Boise but never sexually assaulted his girlfriend. So there was no sexual assault in his background like most people seemed to imply.

"Texas Monthly reported that the highly touted transfer from Boise State had been kicked off his old team soon after he drunkenly punched through a window at a house he shared with his girlfriend."

I haven't seen anyone, on any site, suggest or imply that he had a history of sexual assaulting women. The history everyone now knows about, and that Peterson apparently knew about at the time of his dismissal (if the emails obtained by Texas Monthly are accurate), is with respect to domestic violence. His ex-girlfriend testified to his propensity for violence at his trial in Waco.

Granted, domestic violence and sexual assault are different things, but Briles stated that he only knew about homesickness and depression, which again begs the question: if you knew the kid was a BAMF All-American football player, do you really think he got kicked off the Boise football team for being homesick?

First off let me say that I think he should be put under the jail for what he did to the young lady at Baylor. But I don't see how breaking a window is domestic violence. A stupid thing to do and a crime against the property owner for destruction of property but not domestic violence. But I could be mistaken.

I think the domestic violence claim comes from his ex-girlfriend's testimony during the trial, and is certainly implied in whatever BSU told Florida. Bottom line: this kid left Boise with some serious issues, and BU either ignored them or intentionally failed to ask the right questions before admitting him and now a young lady's life has been permanently altered because of it. Colossal failure all around.

If true, Art Briles is a hypocritical POS. His defenders need to think long and hard about what is truly important in this world.

School officials also knew of previous complaints about Tevin Elliott, the lawsuit says, including one from a Baylor student who says she reported Elliott had raped her. She says she was told she was the sixth female student to accuse the football player of sexual assault, and that Briles was aware of the allegations.

I post very seldom.
I have 2 daughters.
If one of them had been raped by this guy, he would never had been in court for a trial and I would be behind bars.
Baylor's actions are irresponsible and reprehensible. For any Baylor fan to think otherwise is sickening.

Not if I was a jury member.
