Why Jim Grobe is perfect for Baylor

Former Wake Forest linebacker Aaron Curry was a redshirt junior in 2007 when he made the unfortunate decision to skip his sociology research methods class the same week the Demon Deacons were facing a gritty Paul Johnson-coached Navy team in Annapolis.

Jim Grobe suspended Curry -- his best player and a Butkus Award winner -- for the first quarter. "Instead of showing favoritism," said Curry, "what mattered most was the culture in the locker room and sending the message he was trying to get across."

If Grobe was willing to suspend the best linebacker in the country for missing a class, you better believe he doesn't tolerate any of the horrific crimes Baylor has been accused of.
