For the administration of Baylor and the football coaching staff to turn a blind eye on multiple women being raped by Baylor football players is a disgrace. They basically told the girls to graduate and go on with their lives. It was nothing they could do. We're going into what seems like the 5th year of Carolina being investigated for having easy AFAM studies classes. What an absolute joke that multiple rapes go without investigation while we're given a half a decade penalty while the NCAA drags it's feet.

This subject is SUPER touchy because there are a ton of false rape reports that happen on college campuses as well. The line between "I was super drunk and don't remember it" and "I was raped" is very gray in an atmosphere that is conducive to girls drinking a lot and blacking out like a college campus.
I'm not saying these girls don't have cases, but there have been plenty of other cases of this being false. I think the issue is that Baylor didn't investigate hard enough to find out if it was factual or not. But I'm not going to kill Baylor because they didn't just take the allegations as fact.

You realize that UNC and the UNC DPS doesn't exactly look good when it comes to responding to female students who report that they've been raped, right? Google it. UNC and FSU are both mentioned in a documentary called The Hunting Ground.
As for Outside the Lines, do yourself a favor and watch it less, or never. It's a disgraceful program that race baits, stirs up controversy when there isn't one, etc etc.
Critics of the film(The Hunting Grounds) including Emily Yoffe of Slate and a number of Harvard law professors question the accuracy and objectivity of the film. Collges included in the film are UNC , Harvard , Amherst and Notre Dame. An athlete was under investigation in the Notre Dame case but in the UNC I didn't read any athlete's name associated with the rape(s).
The Baylor situation was OUTRAGEOUS. Just a pathetic blind eye to these young women who were raped. All to protect and defend their football players
I didn't say athletics had anything to do with UNC being in that documentary. They were in it because UNC and UNC's Department of Public Safety have been heavily criticized for the way they handle student rape cases.
Yes, The Hunting Ground has been heavily criticized. I'm just saying maybe we should hold off on being outraged at Baylor when UNC hasn't exactly been a trailblazer on this type of thing.
Yep. Because if we look a little more then a decade back 8 miles down the road. How did those rape allegations turn out by taking the accusers side immediately? Not good. Schools should just absolve themselves from being involved in policing this and leave it to the local Police Department. More the schools get involved the more possibility of looking really bad. Especially considering schools and their faculty aren't designed to handle investigations on criminal matters. All a university should do is be as helpful as possible with the local police when requested during the process.
Again, be careful before immediately saying they were raped just because they allege it. The blind eye was turned to the investigation, not to something that we don't know did or didn't happen.
As Space said above, they should have just turned this thing over to the Waco PD and had them do a full investigation.
Didn't mean to infer you said athletics had anything to do with it. It was more just a "sigh of relief" because of all the other BS we've had.
