Garcia was solid in a May 20 no from corse178's blog

Baylor University on Tuesday launched a website to provide more details about the sexual assault scandal that led to the firings of university president Kenneth Starr and football coach Art Briles and the resignation of athletics director Ian McCaw this summer. Markelle Fultz Womens Jersey .?In an open letter to Baylor alumni and students that was obtained by ESPN on Tuesday, interim president David E. Garland wrote that he directed the University to be more transparent wherever possible about the sexual assault crisis that has severely impacted our campus, our alumni and the entire Baylor family.Both the Administration and the Board of Regents are taking this step because we came to understand that, in order to heal, the Baylor family needs more information about what happened and why, Garland wrote.In the letter, Garland confirmed what members of the Baylor board of regents told the Wall Street Journal last week: Since 2011, there were a total of 17 reported allegations of sexual assault or domestic violence allegedly committed by 19 football players. In 2012, there were four allegations of alleged gang rapes involving Baylor football players.Garland said the webpage (www.baylor.edu/thetruth) will provide details about what happened at Baylor and the schools efforts to learn from those mistakes and make the right decisions moving forward.Garland wrote that the website will include disclosures of important facts and a clear accounting of past Title IX incidents, including sexual assaults.In the letter, Garland said the school wouldnt release a copy of the full Pepper Hamilton report, which detailed the universitys failures in responding to allegations of sexual assaults by students, including many football players, because attorneys from the Philadelphia law firm never created a written report (it instead was done via PowerPoint) or delivered one to the Baylor board of regents.Garland said that Pepper Hamilton attorneys examined reports of sexual assault and domestic violence and how they were handled by the university, but were not engaged to determine whether the underlying assaults occurred or to create a comprehensive catalogue of all sexual assaults.Since Briles firing in May, some influential Baylor donors and alumni have wondered whether he might have been made the scapegoat for a larger sexual assault problem at the university. Such talk has taken hold in some Baylor corners because of the secrecy around the Pepper Hamilton report, which has never been made public.Baylors former Title IX coordinator, Patty Crawford, resigned last month and has sharply criticized university officials for what she says were efforts to prevent her from trying to handle a sexual assault problem that went beyond the football program.Three Baylor football players have been indicted for sexual assault and crimes against women in the past four years. Former defensive end Shawn Oakman was indicted by a McLennan County grand jury on charges of second-degree felony sexual assault in July. Defensive ends Tevin Elliott and Sam Ukwuachu were convicted of sexual assault in 2014 and 15, respectively.The Journal on Friday quoted Baylor regents who detailed some of the Pepper Hamilton findings for the first time. According to the regents, in at least one case, Briles knew about an alleged incident and didnt alert police, the schools judicial affairs staff or the Title IX office in charge of coordinating the schools response to sexual violence.J. Cary Gray, a Dallas lawyer and a member of the Baylor board, told The Journal: There was a cultural issue there that was putting winning football games above everything else, including our values. ... We did not have a caring community when it came to these women who reported that they were assaulted. And that is not OK.Garland said in the letter on Tuesday that Baylor regents had no choice but to fire Briles after learning the Pepper Hamilton findings.Faced with the weight of the information from Pepper Hamilton, the Regents concluded by an overwhelming majority that Baylor University and its football program needed new leadership, Garland wrote. No other university faced with similar circumstances has moved as decisively to change leadership at the highest levels -- its President, Athletic Director and Head Football Coach.These painful, often agonizing decisions were not based on specific incidents -- but on the extent of the problems, organizational shortcomings and repeated failures to care for those who came forward to report sexual violence. With regard to assistant football coaches and other administrators, we decided it would be unfair to remove those further down in the organization for the mistakes of their leaders.Garland ended the letter by apologizing to the victims and their families.That Baylor did not respond as a caring Christian community to those who were hurt grieves all of us -- regents, administrators, faculty and staff, Garland wrote. On behalf of everyone at Baylor, I want to apologize again to the victims and their families. I will do all I can to ensure this never happens again. Markelle Fultz Swingman Jersey . -- If this was Aaron Gordons final home game at Arizona, and it almost certainly was, then he went out in style. Markelle Fultz Jersey . "Jeff is a hard worker who was an important special-teams contributor for us last season," said Stamps GM John Hufnagel. http://www.nba76ersauthentic.com/Markelle-Fultz-76ers-Jersey/ . Badenhop was 2-3 with a 3.47 ERA in 63 relief appearances for Milwaukee this season. He is 18-20 in his career with three saves and a 3.(Sports Network) - With their four-game series knotted up at a game apiece, the Baltimore Orioles and the Toronto Blue Jays will face off at the Rogers Centre on Saturday afternoon. The Orioles came away with a 10-6 win on Friday night, taking control of the game early by scoring three runs in each of the first three innings, resulting in an early exit for Toronto rookie Sean Nolin (0-1). Four of Baltimores 16 hits came via the long ball, with J.J. Hardy, Adam Jones, Chris Davis and Danny Valencia all depositing homers. It was Daviss MLB-leading 16th homer and his 45 RBI rank second behind only Miguel Cabrera. Nick Markakis finished 3-for-5 with three RBI out of the leadoff spot, while Manny Machado and Davis also collected three hits. "When we got a ball over the plate, it seemed like we didnt miss it," Markakis said. "Thats the main objective of hitting - when you get your pitch, dont miss it." It wasnt always smooth sailing for Chris Tillman (4-2), as he allowed 10 hits over five innings of work, but he surrendered only three runs while striking out seven to earn the win. For Toronto, Nolin was roughed up in his major-league debut, lasting just 1 1/3 innings while yielding seven hits and six earned runs. He was 2-0 with a 1.17 ERA in three starts at Double-A New Hampshire prior to his call up. "I think I just had too much energy going," Nolin said. "I kind of felt like I already threw a few innings, kind of wasted some gas without doing anything." The Blue Jays also got involved with the sluggfest, as Melky Cabrera, Adam Lind and Brett Lawrie all left the yard as well. Markelle Fultz Blue Jersey. Despite piecing together 17 hits, the squad was plagued by leaving nine runners on base. The Orioles will send journeyman right-hander Freddy Garcia to the hill on Saturday. Garcia has been effective in terms of base runners, boasting an impressive WHIP (1.07) and batting average against (.222), but hes allowed six home runs over 22 1/3 innings this season, ultimately resulting in an 0-2 record with a 4.84 ERA. Garcia was solid in a May 20 no-decision versus the Yankees, allowing three hits, two walks and two earned runs in six innings of work. Over the course of his 15-year career, Garcia has made 19 starts against the Blue Jays, going 8-8 with a 5.85 ERA. Toronto will counter with R.A. Dickey. The reigning National League Cy Young Award winner has gotten off to a modest start with his new team in 2013, sporting a 4-5 record with a 4.50 ERA. Dickey has curbed his struggles of late with back-to-back gems. After striking out 10 over six innings in a May 14 win over San Francisco, the knuckleballer pitched eight strong innings against Tampa Bay on May 20, allowing four hits and two earned runs in the victory. "Ive felt like Ive been stuck in a quagmire for the last week, two weeks," Dickey said. "So its nice to feel like youve got at least one foot out of it. Im not going to say I feel great ... Im hopeful to continue to progress. But Im not all the way there yet." Baltimore took two of three from the Jays earlier in the year. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
