Alrighty, so this week we've got this little number on The Texas Tribune.
So for a few months now there has been a considerably large issue regarding The Baylor Bear's ability to keep their paws to themselves as rape accusations against Baylor athletes, most notably the football team, continue to emerge after an alarmingly long period of being ignored, even discouraged and/or kept under wraps not just by the coaches, but by the (former) school president Ken Starr who resigned earlier (though official evidence has not yet emerged to indicate his role or awareness of the occurrences). The recent events have, as expected, brought the dark eye of the NCAA (and law enforcement) over Baylor to investigate the matter further.
Though not directly connected to Texas government, I feel that occurrences such as these are important to recognize and observe how the state reacts, as the collegiate environment encompasses and addresses a great deal of Texas' concerns as well as reflects the impact of public policy on a wide demographic and as a result, tends to be focal point for all political issues in state government.
