There’s no other way to say it: Jim Grobe is a home-run hire for Baylor. Make no mistake about it, Grobe is just what the doctor ordered for both the football program and the university. A man of unquestioned integrity, many of Grobe’s former players loved playing for him because he cared about their development […]

The Baylor Board of Regents did the right thing by recommending that Art Briles be terminated after receiving Pepper Hamilton’s findings of fact.

Some craft brewers have created beers for rivalries and now LSU is getting their own brew from a local craft brewery…… Big news! […]

The Baylor scandal and its abhorrent, sickening actions — made worse by the fact that they happened in the years after the Penn State story broke — are still being sorted out. If you are reading columns on the Baylor story from writers across the country, you are likely encountering words to this effect: “Hopefully, […]

Ole Miss waits in the retroactive crosshairs of the NCAA Depending on which side of the fence you live on, Ole Miss releasing the Notice of Allegations from the NCAA and subsequent self-imposed penalties is a sigh of relief that it wasn’t worse, or justification that “those cheatin’ Rebels finally got theirs, and it’s only […]

Punishment is a very thorny subject — as a matter of morality, sure, but more fundamentally as an effective deterrent to future bad behavior. Punishment is always difficult to confront for human beings because the need to feel emotionally satisfied about the past and the need to create a safer future are not one and […]
FILE – In this Aug. 5, 2014, file photo,Baylor University President Ken Starr, left, jokes with head football coach Art Briles, right, on the first day of NCAA college football practice in Waco, Texas. Baylor University’s board of regents says it will fire Briles and re-assign Starr in response to questions about its handling of sexual assault complaints against players.

Punishment is red meat, and football is our comfort food, but procedure is the green salad of college sports. It’s not as sexy or as enjoyable to talk about, but it forms the basis of how we can create an environment in which less wrongdoing occurs.
