Earlier this week, former Baylor football assistant Colin Shillinglaw filed a lawsuit against the school, alleging that his firing in the fallout from Baylor’s massive sexual-assault scandal was unjust. Shillinglaw sued Baylor for libel and slander, just like former coach Art Briles did in his recently dismissed lawsuit.

Several Baylor regents hit back today with their response in court. The answer from Cary Gray, Ron Murff, and David Harper called the lawsuit a “public relations smokescreen” and released a series of damning text messages that, they said, show how Shillinglaw, Briles, and others at Baylor actively worked to circumvent the university’s official disciplinary processes—described as “in-house when it should have been open house”—and kept football players accused of assault, drug use, and academic cheating on the field.

The cases where the coaches protected football-players by circumventing the judiciary department of the university include:
* illegal consumption of alcohol
* threatening somebody with a gun
* sexually proposing a masseuse
* assault and death-threat
* taking drugs
* dealing drugs
* possession of marijuana
* plagiarism
* sexual assault
* violently assaulting a female student and calling her a whore and a slut
* multiple cases of gang-rape

2. With Holier Than Thou Ken Starr At The Helm

Disgusting behavior covered up by disgusting people.

[Botany]

4. And remember Ken dragging us all through the mud because Bill Clinton had "moral fallings?"

Family Values =

[Achilleaze]

5. republican 'family values' are sick

I mean, the 'holier-than-thou' BS republicans spew sounds so lofty, but it is a total crock of hypocritical crap - as they themselves demonstrate over and over and over.

Republican 'moral champion' Ken Starr should be impeached from the human race for his skanky, rank hypocrisy.

[Botany]

6. And all those "Christian Values Voters" who voted for Trump ....

.... even though he has 5 kids by 3 different wives, had cocaine and sex parties w/
underage girls, stiffed his workers, and bragged about sexually assualting women.
And I have no doubt that he has paid for many abortions too.

********

And Ken Starr's White Water Witch Hunt stopped Bill Clinton from getting Osama bin Laden.

These mother fuckers have no shame.

9. Yeah that's the thing that really pisses me off.

And I have a few friends who fall for that bullshit. If you support Trump, you are not Christian. If you support racism, sexism, misogyny, and bigotry, you are not Christian. Period, end of story.

8. He's A Pile of Slime

He on the Rushmore of "Worst Persons In the World"

[Initech]

10. Along with Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump!

[Botany]

12. Add Denny Hastert, Newt Gingrich, and Henry Hyde to that list

Real Family Value types.


These people helped to hamstring President Clinton and his mission to
get bin Laden and pissed away over $100,000,000.00 because they couldn't
beat him in an election.

13. We're going to need a bigger mountain. n/t

[ProfessorGAC]

15. Eeep! Hastert

I had the distinct displeasure of sitting with him at a couple benefit dinners. What a creepy guy.

[Initech]

3. Holy shit! How is this guy not in prison?

[JCMach1]

7. Don't sugar coat it... more than 50 rapes

according to our local Dallas stations.

11. What a mess

Art Briles is a POS and I hate that the cover up was so extensive and went on for so long.

[gopiscrap]

14. Isn't Baylor a Baptist school?

[MineralMan]

16. Solution: Dismantle the Baylor Football Program Entirely.

Just shut it down and focus on academic excellence. I propose the same solution for a wide range of universities, frankly. Let the NFL start it's own farm team system to produce fresh meat for its teams.

Just recruit straight from high schools.
