this article is pretty damning, not so much because the kid is innocent (honestly, based on what's in the article, who knows?), but because his story paints a picture of a baylor administration that's just trying to do anything and everything to make this go away as fast as possible (integrity and ethics be damned). seems they've gone from giving significantly less than two $hits about assault victims on their campus to having the same attitude toward the rights of accused players.
side note: reading this article was really strange for me because i worked for the coach they quote (jeff sims) when he was a hs head coach in socal. dude was hard as nails and tough to work for at times (seemed often to forget that i was mostly getting paid to teach english...). however, he was a very high-integrity guy, especially w/r/t off-field stuff, and, as much as he bent over backwards to support his guys, he would have never stood by a player he thought did something wrong just to keep him on the field.
