 Reporter-News Online: Texas News -- Baylor president's future debated amid basketball scandal
WACO, Texas (AP) - To some, Baylor University President Robert Sloan is a rock of faith and integrity -- a man of God well-suited to lead the world's largest Baptist university in a time of crisis.
For his part, Sloan says he relies on prayer, family and friends to cope with the scandal rocking the Central Texas university this summer: the slaying of Baylor basketball player Patrick Dennehy by a former player and the ensuing disclosure of major NCAA violations in the Big 12 Conference program.
As Baylor reels from revelations of secretly paid players, doctored drug tests and a tape-recorded cover-up plot by disgraced former coach Dave Bliss, Sloan's supporters praise him for moving quickly to place the basketball program on probation and accept the resignations of Bliss and athletic director Tom Stanton.

 Inside Higher Ed :: Partial 'Death Penalty' for Baylor Basketball   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
It seems morbidly appropriate, somehow, that a basketball scandal brought to light two years ago because one player killed another should result in the National Collegiate Athletic Association imposing a modified version of its rarely used “death penalty” on Baylor University Thursday.
The June 2003 disappearance of Patrick Dennehy, then a basketball player at Baylor, and the revelation that he was murdered by a teammate, Carlton Dotson, who pleaded guilty this month, led to an investigation that revealed serious wrongdoing, even though the death did not seem in any way tied to the rule breaking.
Because Baylor had been found guilty of major NCAA violations in both 1996 and in 2001, the university was susceptible to the association’s penalties for “repeat violators,” which in common parlance have come to be known as the death penalty.

 God and Man at Baylor - Christianity Today Magazine
Most who see the name Baylor University in print think about the basketball program scandal in which one player murdered another and the coach scrambled to cover up improprieties as the media spotlight focused in on the school.
The thesis was that the great university had abandoned its traditionally Christian roots and was actively employing the sort of faculty who would lead impressionable young people astray, that is to say, away from love of God, country, and family.
Baylor President Robert Sloan, former Provost Donald Schmeltekopf, current Provost David Jeffrey, and several others on a Board of Regents that includes Houston Astros owner Drayton McClane, decided to drive Baylor toward a greater acknowledgment of its Christian identity while also pushing for top tier research university status.
