@Gerry Hamilton @Bobby Burton  do you have any idea what he took the leave for?  They said it wasn't about Title IX or the sideline issue.

He put his hands on a Baylor football player because he didn’t like the sleeves the player was wearing. Allegedly was drunk at time of incident on the field.

This report specifically says that it is not about that incident. The OP says the same.

You trust an institution that tried to cover up murder and rape?

Not sure what it’s about or what it could mean for CFP committee. Never like to hear about this kind of thing, usually it’s health related.

Hopefully the Tech AD doesn't get the phone call or texas is SOL

He's gone. Just a matter of time. Will be replaced. 

Baylor already showing interest in some other AD's ... from what I was told.

Arkansas AD Hunter Yurachek will be the new chair and Utah AD Mark Harlan has been added to the committee in replacement of Mack Rhoades.

Not a bad idea.  That would certainly keep the ball rolling in Waco.  I like predictability.

Baptists don’t drink. So no, just no.

Just heard @Bobby Burton state his concern about them now sneaking Utah in the playoffs. Couple that with anything associated with Arky not liking Texas. We are skating on thin ice with 3 losses if we drop another game. The Big 12 deserves no more than 1 or 2 teams but it wouldn't surprise me a 3rd now. Makes winning out even more important for us and OU.

Just because it wasn’t related to the sideline incident doesn’t mean it’s not related to the root cause. This type of thing smells of alcohol. The hypocrisy at a Baptist school like Baylor knows no bounds.

And before anyone says that this is a jump-to-conclusion presumption, isn’t that the point of a thread like this, speculation?

the rumor circulating among baylor folks is some form of substance abuse...not necessarily alcohol.

Replacing a Big12 AD with an SEC AD is likely a good thing for us, no?

I think with that “institution” you assume the worst and go with it.
