It’s a sad day for Baylor Nation. The decision to fire our head football coach is the most ridiculous, ungrateful and disloyal one possible of Baylor University. At what point do we hold these young athletes accountable and stop allowing them to destroy coaches’ lives and the lives of their families?

Art Briles has done nothing to deserve this treatment. It’s time we the fans stand up for the coaches and the presidents of all universities and colleges and say to all athletes: Enough is enough. If ESPN has any kind of credibility, it will investigate all NCAA winning and losing programs to show that these sorts of allegations go on everywhere — and that every head coach and college president should be terminated if the dubious logic of Baylor regents is allowed to stand. Art Briles is not the problem. Ken Starr is not the problem. The athletes and their moral values and ethical decisions are the problems.

As you can tell, this upsets me as a fan but more as a human being. Rape and sexual assault obviously have no place in our society. However, universities can do only so much to prevent female students from frolicking at nightclubs and then retreating to athletes’ apartments after both have been drinking. At some point all parties must take responsibility for their actions.
