WSJ:
NCAA Won’t Pursue Penn State-Like Punishment for Baylor
>>With Baylor University at war with itself over the firing of its football coach in the wake of a sexual-assault scandal, this qualifies as good news: The NCAA is not planning to bring the hammer down on Baylor the way it did Penn State.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association has notified Baylor that it won’t exert its executive authority to impose sweeping sanctions against the school for broad institutional failings, and will instead follow its normal investigative process, according to people familiar with the matter.
The program still faces a more narrow NCAA probe, even as it copes with the increasingly messy aftermath of its decision in May to fire popular football coach Art Briles.<<
