[QUOTE="IlliniInTexas, post: 1216435, member: 594637"] From Baylor's website: At Baylor, we celebrate our distinctive place in higher education - where research, scholarship and faith guide the mind in understanding the complex diversity of God's creation and prepare the whole person for service and leadership. In addition, from my interactions in being down here, it's obvious that the students that come from Baylor chose to attend as much due to their Christian values as the academics. One last point, on their application for employment, they specifically request religious beliefs (which is then used to discourage some job applicants from continuing the process), as is their right to do under "religious freedom." Don't be fooled by the fact that they're now in a power 5 conference. This school is nothing but a religious institution through and through. My main point (and this was badly stated) is that Baylor is a joke of a university, academically and athletically. As has been proven time and time again, it exploits students who believe in the religious institution and have a real moral center. I don't understand why the national media and plenty of college football fans held them up as the next king of the sport, with the university's blood stained history. I don't shed a tear watching them go down in flames. Hopefully for the final time. [/QUOTE]
