As everyone knows, this is Super Bowl Sunday. The attention of the USA will be on anything and everything that is happening around Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

If there is ever a day for a news story to come out, today is not the day. But, there is a story that needs to be brought out to the light.


This tweet, which was posted at 7:15 AM today, has some nice meaning. It is a good message for many people to read. But then at 1:30 PM they decided to make another tweet.

Are you serious? I had to reread the message from earlier today. Something is not right with those two tweets.

A week after ESPN's Outside The Lines broadcasted some highly damaging information about your school, you finally make a statement. Here is the article BU president and chancellor Ken Starr wrote, Safeguarding Baylor's Students. I understand that you may be embarrassed and this story is absolutely unfortunate. But considering how Ken Starr is the same man who did just about everything in his power to take out President Bill Clinton, it looks like he put the same amount of effort into delaying any kind of significant statement, concerning the care and safety of the students of the private Baptist university that he presides over.

In addition, it all looks choreographed because Chuck Carlton of the Dallas Morning News posted an article this afternoon about Art Briles' response to the allegations. Nice to make all of these statements seven days after an ESPN news show, four days after National Signing Day, and the same day as the Super Bowl.

This nonsense needs to be highlighted as much as possible during this offseason by the sports and news media. It's time for some highly deserved negativity to go down I-35. I don't have a mean heart, mean intentions, and cruel mind, but justice needs to be served.

Not even Johnny Cochran's words fit Baylor's actions.
