The regents said then-Baylor football coach Art Briles knew of at least one reported incident but didnt inform police or school officials.Baylor previously had said the review found that the football program operated as if it were above the rules. However, the university had released few details from the Pepper Hamilton report. That led to increasing public demand, especially among alumni and Baylor critics, for transparency.There was a cultural issue there that was putting winning football games above everything else, including our values, said J. Cary Gray, a lawyer and regent of the Southern Baptist university. More generally, we did not have a caring community when it came to these women who reported they were assaulted, and that is not OK, Gray told the Journal.Briles and Baylors athletic director were fired earlier this year. President Ken Starr was removed from his post by regents and he later resigned as chancellor.Two days before his firing, Briles was called before the regents to discuss the scandal, Gray said. Art said, `I delegated down, and I know I shouldnt have. And I had a system where I was the last to know (of the assault allegations), and I should have been the first to know, Gray told the newspaper.Briles attorney, Ernest Cannon of Stephenville, Texas, said his client never discouraged any victims from filing complaints against players. He also said Baylors regents appeared to be violating a non-disparagement clause that was part of the settlement agreement his client signed with the university.Cannon also accused the regents of scapegoating Briles for Baylors overall failure to maintain a strict Title IX program to guard against sexual discrimination. Numerous lawsuits alleging violations of the federal Title IX laws allege such an overall failure.They are pulling their own house down to justify the mistakes they made. Hes the football coach with no responsibility to enforce Title IX requirements, Cannon said.Thats their job, he added, referring to university administrators.Earlier this month, Patty Crawford, Baylors former Title IX coordinator, resigned and said top campus leaders undermined her efforts to investigate sexual assault claims and were more concerned with protecting the Baylor brand than the students.She also noted the sexual violence problem was a campus-wide issue not limited to football. The university has said football players were involved in just over 10 percent of all alleged Title IX violations in the four years ending with the 2014-15 school year.In response, Gray said, Football is a fraction, but it is a bad fraction.The regents statements failed to impress Crawfords attorney, Rogge Dunn of Dallas, who argued they continue to try to shape the narrative surrounding the scandal and protect the Baylor image. He told The Associated Press that the full story will not come until those concerned are placed under oath.Baylors never going to get past this until it has full transparency, Dunn told the AP Friday night.

http://www.cheapshoesunderarmour.com/ . In the lead up - which seemed to begin the moment Mike Geiger blew the whistle in Houston last Thursday night - the Impact rumour mill went into overdrive. The speculation went into meltdown mode, of the golden nugget variety. You could forgive the Warriors for thinking their luck has run out.Twice in the last three matches they have been brought undone by unorthodox field goals; first James Maloney wobbled one over for the Sharks, then Daly Cherry-Evans sent a left-footed shot over the black dot in rain-soaked Perth to give Manly a golden-point win.Despite those couple of tough losses, Warriors coach Andrew McFadden is remaining upbeat.We didnt do a lot wrong, Warriors coach Andrew McFadden said of his sides fruitless efforts to score the winning point.Halfback Shaun Johnson had a field goal effort charged down, while prop Sam Lisone had earlier produced a comical air swing, before Cherry Evans gave Manly the win.Its not like they were any better in setting up (for the field goal), McFadden said.They just made their play, but theres certainly some things we can do that might help us there.Johnson, 25, said his side had failed to tire out the Manly defence with the set of six leading up to his unsuccessful field goal attempt.That enabled Sea Eagles lock Jake Trbojevic to rrush out and block the shot.

Having those one-out carries to find that spot, it gave the (Manly) boys that were coming up the chance to have a breath, because we werent really moving them, Johnson said.Weve done a bit of work around that yesterday so hopefully, if we find ourselves in that situation again, we can put one over.Were very disappointed to go all that way to come up short like that.McFadden said it was devastating to lose in golden-point again but wouldnt be drawn into criticising the NRLs extra time format.He said his side was now focused on getting back to winning ways against the Raiders in Canberra on Saturday.Theyre the rules and thats what we play to, he said.I think our resilience is building and I think well get over that (defeat) pretty quickly now.The Warriors have also won one golden-point match this season, beating the Roosters 32-28 with a winning try from Roger Tuivasa-Sheck in Round 5.
