Not very good publicity for Briles and his team:

Silence at Baylor

A much-talked-about football player at Baylor University-whom coaches "expect back" this fall-is currently on trial for the sexual assault of a fellow student. Questions now swirl around what the program knew and when they knew it.

In early June, Baylor defensive coordinator Phil Bennett was a guest speaker at a luncheon in Fort Worth for the Baylor Sports Network. During his speech, he dropped a bit of long-anticipated information about the team’s plans: He expected defensive end Sam Ukwuachu-a Freshman All-American who transferred in 2013 from Boise State to Baylor only to miss 2014, his first eligible season with the Bears, for unspecified reasons-to finally take the field. It was a significant announcement for a program that’s a favorite pick to clinch one of four College Football Playoff spots, and it was reported by a breathless sports media eager to talk up head coach Art Briles’ program. No one questioned Bennett’s assertion that Ukwuachu was expected to play-even though Ukwuachu was due to stand trial in Waco for sexual assault in just a few weeks, and if convicted, could spend up to twenty years in prison.

Until the trial is over, we won't know if he did the crime.

But, we know Baylor managed to make FSU look good in comparison.

Baylor is the scum of the earth just as those toads out west.

I don't want to win that bad. Ask Vandy about the admission of questionable characters during the James Franklin era. I would venture to say the rape convictions have overshadowed any of the new found pride of a winning football program.

Let's just keep getting good kids, and coaching them up.

Sounds like lack of institutional control to me.

A) disgusting story about a potentially terrible action.

B) We need to do a better job of raising our kids. What ever happened to "nothing good happens after midnight" one-liners our parents told us. Any text between 12-2am is known as a booty call. Why on earth did a girl get in his car and go to his apartment at that hour? Dumb.

So in less than 15 years Baylor has managed to cover up murder and rape. Congrats Baptists.

Convicted

@TSpoonFeed: The jury found Ukwuachu, 22, guilty of sexual assault in an October 2013 incident involving a former Baylor soccer player.
