I don't think they care. I don't think their parents care.

I don't think they care. I don't think their parents care.
If those parents wanted them some wussies they would have names them dr Quinn and medicine woman.
Or they recognize that nothing bad ever really happens to these programs. Penn State won the Big 10 this year.

Shouldn't it be about wanting to be part of a program that allows this to happen w/o consequences, rather than eventual punishment.

To be cynical (and I'm not suggesting that this is the case with this particular recruit), it is pretty easy to see why that if you are even mildly concerned about your kid getting into trouble -- as many parents probably are -- that you might like the idea of them going to a program that "has his back no matter what", even though a closer look would suggest that Baylor is a lot more interested in covering its own ass and winning games than it is in giving a **** about its football players.
I think those parents have deeper problems if that's how they think.
**** Baylor has a pretty long history of covering up some shocking behavior by their athletes, including murder, then the athletes go to jail for 20 years or life. So, having his back no matter what hasn't seemed to work yet. They should definitely keep trying, though . . .
Pretty frustrating when you consider our program was destroyed, in part, by a non-event (lots of administrative incompetency helped) and programs like ****bailer and ped state just keep on keeping on with barely a blip. Of course, the difference is an administration that puts a premium on winning, which CU did not have. We were more interested in self flagellation, I guess.
Yes, I did, and I'll kindly ask you to stop pissing in my cheerios.
No, but I figured it would be filled with a bunch of 2* and 3* kids with really no other P5 offers. Was really hoping/expecting they would be CU of the past decade.
I didn't have any trouble leaving, haha. What did Mac Davis say? "Happiness is Lubbock in the rear view mirror." I guess I should admit that Mac also ended up missing it and returned. "Happiness is Lubbock, Texas growing nearer and dearer."
You either get out young or your stuck there forever. And ever.
Same thing with Amarillo.
Seriously. How a kid would ever pick Baylor over TCU and Texas is crazy to me.
He sees 1 recruit committed for 2017 and decides that less competition is better.
Maybe he grew up a Baylor fan. Maybe his family have Baylor ties. Who knows?
I think it also goes to show how "cool" Briles made Baylor. High school kids don't read and interact with this stuff the way we do.
A family friend is still in high school. I've made him a casual Buffs fan. I'll never forget the scoff and face he made when I told him the week of the Oregon game to watch for us to "upset" them. "Oregon?! Like Oregon Ducks not the other Oregon school you were telling me about? You really think we could beat them?"

Yup, I've seen a lot of bailer & aTm stuff on kids around town with parents that I'm 90+% sure did not attend those institutions.
Agreed. I actually spoke with a couple avid college football fans last summer, and they hadn't heard anything about the Baylor stuff. Honestly, for how bad that situation is in reality, they've done a phenomenal job at basically sweeping it under the rug and not drawing attention to it. Guess that's what happens when you're located in Texas and football is everything.
