HB - you are right that this isn’t Baylor, not even close by my measure at least.
What is comparable to Baylor though is that the first press conference and wave of punishment have left the public and media hot tempered. The B.O.T took a relatively light approach to punishment, opening the door to more heat. And, when the onion got peeled back further and the media setup camp in Waco, it went all downhill from there. And if it feels hot now, it can get much worse. Baylor, at its peak, was well beyond what we are seeing now.
Ohio State needs a few things to happen next. 1. Zach Smith needs to find a cave and stay in there and not say anything. 2. They need a do-over with the press conference, where UM appears apologetic and emotional. It could even be unannounced before or after his first practice back 3. They need to hope and pray there are no other skeletons in the closet with the admin asst or anywhere else. The media will find them!
