Merryman Center at the front desk. when it's staffed, the person there will give you as many posters as you want. when i was a student, it was rarely staffed so they just put them out for visitors to help themselves.
It's in the courts.
I'm not sure what kind of investigation Baylor was supposed to do.
What is Baylor's responsibility here. The Police were already notified and authorities above the University already had it for action.
He already was ineligible to play so suspension from the team isn't a tool.
I suppose the school could kick him out but, at this point it's innocent until guilty in a court of law.
I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm trying to understand.
Is it that people think Baylor has a duty to make public the accusation? Isn't it a matter of public record already?

It plays into ESPN's SEC contract. FSU at that time was the single biggest threat to the stranglehold that the SEC had all over college football. If FSU had sustained national success, breaking the SEC natty title streak, and forcing a fissure right through the heart of the SEC's stronghold on the South, that SEC contract could begin to lose its value fast.
Then why does the NFL have multiple year contracts? Should the team take money away if they under-perform?
Beyond that, Jameis as an individual was already in the spotlight, so of course his fuckups are in the news. This other kid never played a down for Baylor, so of course this isn't national news.
The mythical UVA fan is.... Bigfoot?!
Would also explain that awful rotten cheese stench.

# | Hokies RB Trey Edmunds Ready for a Season with "No Limp, No Gimp" After Several Injury-Filled Months Scary stuff.
I aware that it happens, does that mean I have to agree with it? All I was trying to say is that I don't agree with people holding out, and that they should play out their contract. It is only an opinion. I hope the man has a long career, he is fun to watch.
I really don't understand how one player steals crab legs and it is national news and another player rapes a girl and noone finds out about it for almost 14 months
I'm confused... don't these both describe Jameis Winston?

# | "Virginia Tech offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler seeks more balance in his life" If the Administration (Dave Braine I believe) had taken that approach with Beamer in his first three years (i.e. the team hasn't improved, so you're gone), then there would never have been the breakout season that was 1995. Beamer would have been gone. And trust me, I was at Tech then and was friends with many of the football team who I lived with in Cochrane Hall, and there was general consensus that Beamer was not a good coach/motivator, and he needed to go. The football stadium then sat about 51,000 I believe, and I don't know that I ever saw it sold out in the entire time I was there. Maybe the UVA game in 1990, but I honestly don't think it was more than that unless it was one of the years we played FSU there. But the point is, I guess I have a little more patience when it comes to Lefty. Maybe I'm old, but that's my 2 cents.

# | "Virginia Tech offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler seeks more balance in his life" And the thing is, I would enthusiastically welcome a debate on the merits of Loeffler's specific scheme. Breaking down the passing tree, down and distance philosophy, tight end blocking philosophy, etc. etc. etc., could make for some GREAT conversations, and there are specific parts of Loeffler's game that I'm not thrilled about. But the conversation always revolves around total and scoring offense, not the actual scheme being installed.
You wold think after the basketball scandal there in 2003, (Wiki basketball scandal) things would be handled better. Or at least treated with a little more importance. If I'm a parent in Texas, no way my student athlete is attending Baylor.
Kam is the only player STILL holding out. It's not like Kam invented the radical concept of disputing a contract. Marshawn held out over the summer. Marshawn got paid. Jeremy Mincey in Dallas had a short holdout. Got paid. Countless other guys do this every year. If you feel your labor is undervalued, there's nothing wrong with trying to balance the scales a bit. Especially if you'll have no problem finding a job elsewhere.

# | "Virginia Tech offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler seeks more balance in his life" The difference is... here, those people are the squeaky wheel minority that nobody in power takes seriously.
At NC St, those people are the ones driving the change.
By the transitive property (because ice cream goes better with warm pie), that makes you team pie.
That already exists. It's called the Hokie Club. And less than 10,000 people participate.

# | "Virginia Tech offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler seeks more balance in his life" Blame in a rebuild is counterproductive. Set an evaluation point, arrive at that evaluation point, evaluate, render a decision.
Complaining in the interim is just angst for angst's sake.

Also, shows ESPN's FSU bias. FSU made the news and the playoffs. Makes you wonder what Baylor needs to do to get some coverage.

# | "Virginia Tech offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler seeks more balance in his life" The comments are getting extremely old, extremely fast. They're completely ignoring what's being said, and are replying to their projections on what they think people are saying.

# | "Virginia Tech offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler seeks more balance in his life" Those fans are perpetually miserable
I don't think our fan base has anyone who is perpetually miserable and TKP DEFINITELY doesn't have any members like that...
It has been OK to like the Bills ever since Bruce Smith played for them.
