Baylor has no business being an NCAA school any longer

[GoCARDS17x]

This is pathetic. Right after their AD and football coaches cover up sexual assault, and around a decade plus after they try to cover up NCAA violations by calling a murder victim a drug dealer. This is an associate athletic director doing this, this is unbelievable!

Baylor associate athletic director Heath Nielsen was arrested and charged with assaulting a reporter on the field following the Bears' 62-22 loss to TCU at home on Nov. 5.

According to KWTX-TV of Waco, Texas, Nielsen was arrested three days later and charged with misdemeanor assault with bodily injury.

He was freed on bond and hasn't attended the Bears' past two football games against Oklahoma and Kansas State.

Baylor officials declined to comment on Monday night, saying they don't talk about personnel matters.
According to an arrest warrant obtained by KWTX-TV, Nielsen confronted reporter James McBride on the field while he was taking a photograph with an unidentified Baylor player.

McBride, who writes for The Blaze News in Keller, Texas, told police that Nielsen grabbed him by the throat with his right hand, squeezed and pushed him away from the football player.

No offense, but of all the stuff that's been going on at Baylor, this is nothing.

An assault charge from an associate AD is nothing? It just adds to what's going on there. I couldn't even comprehend it here, if Tom Jurich's son choked a reporter or something.

I can't believe how many incidents are going on there, and at a 'supposed' religious institute. Meanwhile their fans were having black outs to honor their previous coach who covered up sexual assault and didn't report it.

Just goes to show how many hypocrites there are out there that only use ethics and 'morality' when it's convenient to them, or to impose their will on others. If the Big XII had any backbone they should kick them out of the conference.

I agree, its bad down there. But compared to all the big stuff, this isn't much. He grabbed a guy and pushed him away. The murder and the sexual assaults trump this a thousand times over.

I could name several schools that should be hammered by NCAA, but the NCAA is more guilty of cover ups than the crooked schools themselves.

Like the old saying a few years back. "UNLV commits a violation, Cleveland State gets punished for it"

Actually the quote was "every time Kentucky cheats, the NCAA puts poor Cleveland State on probation". Al McGuire.

I think you're wrong. I think it was "The NCAA is so mad at Kentucky they're going to add 2 more years to Cleveland States probation". And I think it was Rick Majerus. Now I'll look it up to see who''s right. LOL

“The NCAA is so mad at Kentucky it will probably slap another two years probation on Cleveland State.''

I knew I had the "Kentucky" part right.

 

[Kratz]

Yeah, we were both part right and had the spirit down pat!

 

[Hampton Roads 6]

I knew UNLV was involved in some way.

True. Even the much maligned Tark could look down his nose at UK's history of cheating.

 

[Hampton Roads 6]

NCAA looks "the other way" when certain schools are involved in cheating. I could name several schools that should be on a 5 year post season ban, in both football and basketball.

Kratz is right. If you breathe on somebody, you can be charged with assault...

Yep. Sad but true. Leonard Fournette pushed a Florida assistant coach before the game this past weekend. Technically it's an assault.

Plus I look at incidents involving the press with a big grain of salt. I freely admit that I'm biased against most of them. They're obnoxious, rude, and will push anybody out of the way to stick a camera and microphone in someones face. They think they somehow have that right. Yet if someone pushes them back, they cry foul. Happens far too often.

I agree most of the time but this time they've got Nielsen dead to rights on security cameras. It was an unprovoked attack. But we have our own issues so I don't want to point fingers.
