What went on at Baylor had to do with sexual assault cases and involved not one or two Baylor football players but multiple players. The scandal also cost head football coach Briles his job, as well as that of the athletic director and president of the university because of their failure to appropriately address the matter.
I am not assigning degrees of wrongness to what went on at Baylor and the matter involving Mixon. Both situations involve legal and moral wrongdoing and cannot and should not be ignored or dismissed.
But the personal situations and circumstances involving Mixon, former Sooner Frank Shannon and, a couple of years ago, allowing Dorial Green-Beckham to transfer to OU – all three which have been cited in multiple media reports of being repeated examples of how Stoops and the Oklahoma football program are more concerned about winning than doing what’s right when it comes to dealing with unlawful and unacceptable off-the-field behavior by its players.
