More Important Than Winning: Baylor Fires Football Coach Art Briles

It's hard to look at today's news and not be reminded of the firestorm that ensued when UCLA hired Steve Alford.

It's been three and a half years since UCLA met Baylor in the 2012 Holiday Bowl.

Today, that seems like an eternity ago.

In case you haven't heard, heads were rolling at Baylor today. Not only did University President and Chancellor Ken Starr get demoted to just Chancellor, but Baylor Football Coach Art Briles was fired.

It wasn't because of anything which occurred on the field.

It was the result of an independent investigation requested by the Baylor University Board of Regents in the Fall of 2015.
