If we’re to believe Art Briles was unaware of Sam Ukwuachu’s violent history before allowing him to transfer to Baylor, where he subsequently assaulted a female student, it’s still an indictment of the way Briles does business.
If we’re to believe Chris Petersen, it’s something much worse.
Either way, Baylor needs the fortitude to seek the truth, something it apparently lacked when investigating the assault of one of its own students.
And if the truth is that Briles is lying, then he needs to go.
This sordid story, incredibly, came out of nowhere Friday, a day after a jury found Ukwuachu guilty of second-degree assault. If that’s all it had been, it would have been bad enough. But what we’ve learned is that Ukwuachu had been kicked off the Boise State football team after punching and choking his girlfriend.
