After the No. 4 Baylor women's basketball team beat Texas Tech to clinch the Big 12 regular-season championship on Saturday, Bears coach Kim Mulkey sounded off on the scrutiny the university has been under for its handling of incidents of sexual assault involving student-athletes.
Speaking to the Waco crowd from center court after the Lady Bears won their seventh straight conference title, Mulkey said, "If somebody around and they ever say, 'I will never send my daughter to Baylor,' you knock them right in the face. Because these kids [pointing to her team] are on this campus. I work here. My daughter went to school here, and it's the damn best school in America."
In her postgame news conference, Mulkey elaborated on her feelings about the university and the national media's attention paid to the investigation and its fallout.
"I'm just tired of hearing it," she said. "I'm tired of people talking on a national scale that don't know what they're talking about. If they didn't sit in those meetings and they weren't a part of the investigation, you're repeating things that you've heard. It's over, it's done. And this is a great institution, and I would send my daughter here and I'd pay for anybody else's daughter to come here. I work here every day. I'm in the know.
"And I'm tired of hearing it. This is a great institution. The problems we have at Baylor are no different than the problems at any other school in America. Period. Move on, find another story to write."
In May 2016, Philadelphia law firm Pepper Hamilton reviewed Baylor's handling of sexual assaults. After receiving the review, the school's board of regents fired football coach Art Briles, suspended athletic director Ian McCaw and demoted President Kenneth Starr to chancellor; McCaw and Starr would later resign.
Since then, several prominent alumni and donors, and even the school's former Title IX coordinator, have asked for further investigation into how other Baylor employees -- most notably senior administrators and some members of the board of regents -- handled reports of sexual assaults and compliance with Title IX, the federal law that requires schools to investigate sexual assault complaints.

After Kim Mulkey won her 500th game as coach of the Baylor Bears, she took the microphone and unleashed a blistering critique on those who have questioned Baylor's institutional excellence or commitment to safety in the wake of a massive scandal involving football and rape.
Here's the most problematic part of what she said:
"If somebody [is] around you, and they ever say, 'I will never send my daughter to Baylor,' you knock them right in the face," Mulkey told the Baylor fans in the arena.
As an example of absurdity, assaulting people concerned about assault works well. As a comment from an authority figure on how to treat those who raise concerns about Baylor, it most certainly doesn't.

Baylor coach Kim Mulkey celebrated her 500th win on Saturday, then defended the school from criticism over sexual assault allegations.
Some facts to keep in mind: The most recent civil lawsuit involving the school alleges that 52 rapes were committed by 31 members of the football team. Those are unproven allegations, but a commissioned report from the law firm Pepper Hamilton was so damning that the school fired football coach Art Briles, athletic director Ian McCaw resigned and former school president Ken Starr was demoted and later left. Starr was floated for a position in President Donald Trump's adminstration, which is a whole other story. As was Briles' bold move to file a defamation suit against the school, which he later dropped.
Given that the Pepper Hamilton report found that football coaches had overlooked or attempted to shut down reports of rape, and that the school's Title IX coordinator has corroborated an atmosphere hostile to alleged victims of rape and assault, prospective students and their parents might reasonably consider the issue as a factor in weighing which school to attend.
As a side note, if you are in the market for a college education, you should absolutely be asking administrators about their track record when it comes to sexual assault on campus.
But back to Mulkey.
"The problems we have at Baylor are no different than the problems at any other school in America. Period," Mulkey said. "Move on, find another story to write."
Having heard from several Baylor alumni, Mulkey has a point. This story is brutal, and it's ongoing. It makes Baylor look awful, and there are many people working within the college community to ensure that people in power never overlook these issues again. There are conduits of change trying to make Baylor a better place and who want those efforts to be noted as part of the overall story.
But this wasn't the way to go about it. Although Mulkey told espnW's Mechelle Voepel on Sunday that she regretted her choice of words, it's hard to dismiss her comments.
And the dozens of people who have reported rape and sexual assault can't simply forget.
And that was the real problem with Mulkey's speech. The alleged victims in this case were overlooked. Unlike other students and faculty who are tired of being the poster child for football worship and institutional protectiveness, they will not be able to simply "move on."
That Mulkey and her daughter have had a great experience at Baylor is wonderful, but it doesn't negate the bad things that were alleged to have happened to other people on campus -- or the alleged criminal acts involving football players.
If what happened at Baylor is happening at other schools, we need to write about every place where it is happening. There should be investigations at those schools; there should be lawsuits filed at those schools. To think, even for a moment, that 52 alleged rapes at other universities would mean it isn't a story at Baylor is dumbfounding.
But here is the biggest problem with what Mulkey said: How can any student feel like they could report an issue to her?
Certainly Mulkey isn't the only administrator at Baylor who wants the bad news to stop. So, knowing the tarnished image of the school, knowing the defensiveness of some in the athletic department -- could a victim feel like he or she will get a fair hearing?
In a perfect world, Baylor could educate its students to a high standard without another one facing date rape or harassment, but that isn't likely.
And when a student needs to come forward and find refuge, seek counseling, medical care or support at Baylor, that student needs to feel safe enough to speak up to a trusted teacher or coach.
Mulkey's speech again put the idea of a beloved institution, its reputation and its image, above the concerns of sexual assault. And that's what contributed to this problem in the first place. Baylor's problems spring from the idea that football is more important than the victims in the wake of its success.
Her 500th win was a moment for Mulkey to revel in. Instead, in an attempt to defend Baylor, she has raised troubling questions about how this athletic program can move forward while keeping the lessons from the very recent past.

Hall of Fame coach Mulkey leaves Baylor for LSU
Kim Mulkey, who grew up in Tickfaw, Louisiana, is leaving Baylor after 21 years.
Hall of Fame women's basketball coach Kim Mulkey leaves Baylor for LSU
Hall of Fame women's basketball coach Kim Mulkey, who won three national championships in 21 seasons at Baylor, is leaving for LSU.
LSU announced the blockbuster hire on Sunday.
Mulkey, who grew up in Tickfaw, Louisiana, will be introduced in a news conference on Monday.
"Kim Mulkey is a champion and a Hall of Famer, and we are thrilled to welcome her home," said LSU director of athletics Scott Woodward in a statement. "Her accomplishments are unprecedented, her passion is unrivaled, and her commitment to winning in all aspects of life -- in the classroom, on the court, and in the community -- is unparalleled. We look forward to working with her as she instills that championship culture at LSU."
Mulkey, 58, took over a Baylor program in 2000 that had never reached the NCAA tournament. The Lady Bears have missed the tournament only once since then and won the national championship in 2005, 2012 and 2019.
Mulkey played at Louisiana Tech, where she later spent 15 years as an assistant and associate head coach.
She won a gold medal as a member of the 1984 Olympic Team and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame last year.
"We are grateful for the more than two decades Kim Mulkey poured into building Baylor women's basketball to one of the nation's premier programs," Baylor director of athletics Mack B. Rhoades said in a statement. "Coach Mulkey's sustained success is one of the most remarkable runs in college basketball history, and her accomplishments are worthy of the Naismith Hall of Fame induction she'll experience later this year."
Rhodes added that the Bears have launched a national search for their next head coach.
Mulkey takes over for Nikki Fargas, who stepped down on Saturday after 10 seasons at LSU. According to a statement, Fargas was leaving to pursue another opportunity. While LSU did not disclose where Fargas was headed next, she has been in negotiations to take over as team president of the WNBA's Las Vegas Aces, people familiar with those discussions have told The Associated Press
Former ESPN reporter says Kim Mulkey tried to get her fired after a story accused the new LSU coach of telling a star player to hide her sexuality
After Kate Fagan reported that Kim Mulkey urged Brittney Griner to hide her sexuality at Baylor, Fagan said the Hall of Famer asked ESPN to fire her.
Mulkey threatens legal action ahead of Post story
Kim Mulkey called a planned story by award-winning Washington Post reporter Kent Babb "a hit piece" and threatened legal action if it's published. Babb confirmed he is working on a profile of Mulkey, but he and the Post declined further comment.
