EDITORIAL ROUNDUP - BAYLOR SCANDAL

Here is a sampling of Texas editorial opinion on the Baylor scandal: Houston Chronicle, Aug.  18:

Baylor University basketball player Patrick Dennehy is dead, another player, Carlton Dotson, is jailed on suspicion of his murder, and coaches have been accused of brushing off Dennehy's concerns over threats against his life.

The NCAA is investigating whether rules against payments to players were broken.  Meanwhile, practically the entire men's basketball squad is scattering to other colleges.  Now, audio tapes indicate recently resigned head coach Dave Bliss tried to get players not only to aid and abet a cover up, but to besmirch the reputation of the dead player by contributing to innuendo that he was a drug dealer.
