The attempt to bolster story with Baylor ...

[TheOrangeBuddha]

And it pisses me off!

The relevant section of the story by Yahoo is as follows:

Beyond statute-of-limitations issues, Syracuse could also be charged with lack of institutional control for failing to adhere to its own drug policy, similar to sanctions recently levied against Baylor University. A wide-ranging NCAA inquiry into the Bears’ basketball program in 2005 revealed the athletic department failed to follow its established guidelines by concealing positive marijuana tests for three players. A report released by the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions after the Baylor investigation stated: “The failure of the university to follow its own [drug testing] procedures demonstrated a lack of institutional control.”

The authors of the story in their ridiculous attempt to bolster their story, point to Baylor University circa 2005. However, they leave out a dead basketball player killed by another basketball player, assistant coaches paying players, the Baylor head coach (Bliss) trying to cover-up all the improprieties in the basketball program and a myriad of other things. To say that the Baylor basketball program lacked institutional control solely because it failed to follow its own drug testing program is beyond disingenous.

Dave Bliss was the coach at Baylor. Tubbs' stints in Texas included TCU & Lamar.

You're right, though... comparing those two situations is ridiculous.

I know, it is utterly ridiculous. if that was the only thing the NCAA found, then Dave Bliss would still be coaching

You are correct. Had a brain cramp. I apologize to the Tubbs family for smearing him/them by including his name erroneously in my post. Doh. Fixed original post.
