Baylor Associate Athletic Director Heath Nielsen, 47, is free on bond following his arrest earlier this month on a misdemeanor assault warrant stemming from an attack on Nov. 5 in which a sportswriter was grabbed by the throat and pushed away from a player after the Bears' 62-22 loss to TCU
he victim, James McBride had received permission from a football player to take a photograph, and after the picture was taken "Nielsen walked up to McBride on the right, grabbed McBride by the throat with his right hand, squeezed and pushed him away from the football player,' an arrest warrant affidavit obtained by KWTX says.
When McBride and the player asked Nielsen what the problem was, he replied, "He's abusing his privileges," 'the affidavit said.
"McBride had visible scratches and complained of pain around his throat."
The injuries were photographed, the affidavit says.
Baylor Athletics seems to have some major personal issues.

And this isn't even the worst look they've had all year.
Thank God for Whit. The worst thing I think Whit would do in that situation is a poorly executed photobomb.
But let's face it, he'd do an awesome photobomb.
This is what happens when all you care about is winning.
This might be the spot where Lane Kiffin gets to coach again.
Kiffin is almost certainly going to get a P5 coaching job this year. He won't be getting his 3m/yr from USC after this year, and despite his previous failures, his offense is pretty incredible, and he himself can be a really dynamic play caller. He made Brent Venables look silly in the NCG last year, it looked like Kiffin was playing chess while Venables was playing checkers.

Honestly, when do they just suspend their program for the rest of the year? The fact that these actions continually come from the adults who are supposed to be responsible guardians of the program and university is insane, and displays an ethical vacuum that will not be fixed with replacing one or two people.
When you actively cover up rape and aggressively attack the rape victims because it would hurt the football team if any of it were true, something like this is nothing
They managed to cover up those though, this is on tape.
At this point, the NCAA needs to step in, allow all student athletes, not involved in the issues, the opportunity to transfer without penalty.
Due to adults in administrative positions not being able to do adult things correctly or with even decent judgement then I honestly think the death penalty is rightfully deserved. This is a perfect example of a program where the whole apple is rotten to the core.
You're assuming they actually do things for the student-athletes.
They just need to blow up their athletic department.
Didn't fans wear some kind of t-shirt recently in support of a movement to BRING BACK their old coach? Their fans don't get it either. Or they get it and just don't care.

Yeah, they wrote black and shirts with CAB.
It was the game where they were absolutely throttled. Loved it.
Must be the same guys with the "JoePa was railroaded" shirts

Follow up to this: the case was taken a grand jury and he was NOT indicted which is surprising because if the prosecution wants to you can get an indictment on a ham sandwhich.
Didn't want to start an entire new thread but ANOTHER Baylor football official has been fired for something inappropriate.

He'll land on his feet here in Lynchburg.
