The real problem at Baylor isn't Art Briles

It is impossible to get away from this story. That's because the media, having failed to take notice of the story months ago, is now furiously trying to make story angles out of the whole sordid mess.

First, the media is incensed by Baylor's apparent silence on the issue. This seems to be nothing more than a pathetic attempt to deflect criticism. Reporters should have reasonably suspected something when a highly touted transfer didn't show up on the roster, or when a player whose name was closely associated with Baylor was indicted way back in 2013. Instead, the local and national press were content to ignore the story until it was too big to ignore.
