[QUOTE="Purp, post: 2690664, member: 12852"] I don't get the inaction by the NCAA. Baylor is hardly a blue blood by any stretch. Maybe the best line from the article was "The [stadium] serves to announce the home of the Baylor Bears, Robert Griffin III, the Heisman Trophy, and a football legacy stretching back to, well, RG3 and the Heisman Trophy." With such a dubious football history what is the incentive for the NCAA to protect Baylor from its wrath? This seems tailor made to me for a Boise State type of punishment from the NCAA. Small, private school with no entrenched history and a large enough national following that it could make a compelling case the NCAA still has teeth in the punishments it metes out. It wouldn't be compelling to me, but it might seem to to an organization that feels it needs to show force semi-regularly to sustain its sense of purpose. I can't imagine the conference would feel compelled to provide top cover for Baylor either for all of the same reasons. There's clearly something I don't understand here, but I doubt it's something that wouldn't make me cringe at how corrupt it was were I to know. [/QUOTE]
