Brenda Tracy, who said she was gang-raped by four men, including two Oregon State football players, told ESPN on Sunday that she believes Baylor should cancel the rest of its football season for its display of deliberate and calculated cruelty during Saturdays 62-22 loss to TCU at McLane Stadium.Tracy, who was invited to speak to Baylors players and coaches about sexual assault prevention in June by acting head coach Jim Grobe, called the Bears blackout by players, coaches and some fans callous, cruel and vicious in the wake of the universitys sexual assault scandal, which led to the firing of former coach Art Briles and university president Kenneth Starr.The team wore black for the game, and on Friday, wide receiver Chris Platt indicated on Twitter that the Bears were wearing black uniforms for Saturdays game to protest Briles firing, though Saturday he denied that was the reason. Platt later tweeted a statement with a different explanation for the blackout game, citing Baylors rivalry with TCU.The seniors met with Coach Grobe and asked him if they could wear black since it was a rivalry game. They are not making any type of statement, Baylor spokesman Nick Joos said Sunday.University spokesperson Lori Fogleman added, According to seniors who met with Coach Jim Grobe, the teams decision to wear black uniforms for [Saturdays] game was made months ago in anticipation of the game against TCU, Baylors 111-year rival. The black uniform is a team favorite and is reserved for one home game each year against a noted rival.In a statement to ESPN on Sunday, Tracy said: What I want is for Baylor to act like they have some institutional control and stop allowing the football program to re-victimize the already traumatized survivors. In a show of institutional courage, Harvard just canceled the rest of the mens soccer season over lewd ratings of female players. If Baylor wanted to do the right thing, they would cancel the rest of the football season for yesterdays display of deliberate and calculated cruelty.On Friday night, Baylors assistant coaches tweeted a statement in which they supported Briles and disputed the Board of Regents claims that he didnt do enough when informed of a gang rape involving his players and a Baylor female student in 2011.On Saturday, Grobe said he didnt know the coaches were going to tweet the statement, but said he wouldnt step in the way when the coaches wanted their perspective known.Before the Bears played the Horned Frogs, black T-shirts supporting the popular former coach were sold outside the stadium. A banner featuring the hashtag #CAB, which stands for Coach Art Briles, was hung from a luxury suite inside McLane Stadium, and the players wore their black uniforms.It was all over social media, Tracy said in the statement. Please dont try to say that you didnt know. Every single assistant coach that tweeted the night before in support of Art Briles knew what those black uniforms meant. ... The entire thing was INTENTIONAL.It was a deliberate slap in the face to the women who were assaulted and raped on Baylors campus and for what? Art Briles? The man who said he knew of a gang rape and did nothing? Or the man who threw all of his assistant coaches under the bus by saying that he delegated down and didnt know what was happening on his team?In October, Tracy told Outside the Lines that a Baylor assistant coach confronted her after the meeting with coaches and players. She said the assistant coach grabbed her and ushered her into an office as soon as she started to leave the room. She said former Baylor Title IX coordinator Patty Crawford accompanied her. Tracy said the Baylor coach told her that he didnt understand why she was there and didnt think the sexual assault scandal was a football issue.In a letter to alumni, students and faculty last week, Baylor interim president David E. Garland confirmed that attorneys hired by the university to investigate the schools response to allegations of sexual assault identified 17 victims of sexual assault or domestic violence involving 19 football players since 2011.As I was tweeting my apology to the victims at Baylor [on Sunday] for this display of intentional cruelty, I began to cry, and I cried off and on for most of the day, Tracy said. Even the beating that TCU exacted upon Baylor didnt make me feel any better.

Jon Montgomerys gold medal in skeleton at the Whistler Sliding Centre and his subsequent auctioning off of a pitcher of beer in the village square elevated him to folk-hero status. Cheap NBA Jerseys From China . -- Stanford squashed Oregons national championship hopes again, schooling the Ducks in power football. Roman Harper hopes he can improve the air quality in the New Orleans Saints locker room this season -- metaphorically speaking, that is.The younger guys, they need to feel success, they need to know what it smells like, Harper said, alluding to the mantra, Smell greatness, from New Orleans 2009 championship season.The Saints -- who open training camp in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, on July 27 -- havent entirely stunk up the Superdome in recent seasons; theyve been competitive in many games.But in going 7-9 in both 2014 and 15, theyve fallen far short of the standard they set when they made the playoffs four times in five seasons from 2009 to 2013. Harper, entering his 11th NFL season, was part of all of those playoff teams before leaving in free agency for Carolina, which made the playoffs in 2014 and advanced to the Super Bowl last season.Some of New Orleans roster moves this offseason, such bringing back Harper and acquiring eighth-year middle linebacker James Laurinaitis from the Rams in free agency, were made with an eye toward finding a better balance of young talent and veteran leadership -- particularly on a defense that has ranked second-to-last in the NFL the past two seasons.When New Orleans concluded offseason workouts this summer, its most accomplished players sounded confident that the Saints were developing the kind of cohesion that can make the difference between climbing into the playoff picture and languishing in mediocrity.Everybody is talented, so what separates you? quarterback Drew Brees asked rhetorically. Its discipline. It is work ethic. It is togetherness. It is competitiveness. It is toughness. I feel like we have all that with the guys, both veteran and young.Here are some things to watch as the Saints assemble for camp at the Greenbrier Resort:DETERMINED DREW: Brees is in the last year of a five-year, $100 million contract and wants an extension, but has asserted that his contract status wont affect his performance. History backs him up. The previous time Brees went into the final year of a contract was 2011, when he passed for what was then an NFL-record 5,476 yards, as well as 46 touchdowns. And while Brees is getting older, he led the NFL in yards passing last season with 4,870 -- down from his career high, certainly, but still elite.Drews been in this situation before, Saintts coach Sean Payton said.dddddddddddd I dont envision it to be a distraction.ALLENS TIME: If defensive coordinator Dennis Allen can ensure the right number of players are on the field every play and are lined up properly, hell have fixed two problems Payton cited with the unit a year ago. Allen, who took over New Orleans defense after coordinator Rob Ryans firing in the second half of last season, is coming off his first full offseason in charge and has sought to adjust New Orleans scheme to promote better organization and suit the strengths of his players.Youre able to instill your scheme and youre able to instill your culture, Allen said. You are not quite as able to do that when you take over in the middle of a season. Like anything else, were starting from ground zero. Were going to be judged on what we do from this point forward.PEATS PERFORMANCE: Payton has said he envisions 2015 top draft pick Andrus Peat as a starter on the offensive line this season. The question is whether its at tackle, where he played at Stanford, or at guard, where the Saints need someone to step in for Jahri Evans, who was released during the offseason. The Saints have starting left tackle Terron Armstead and starting right tackle Zach Strief back this season. So Payton aims to determine whether starting Peat over Strief at right tackle makes more sense than starting Peat ahead of one of the young, relatively unproven linemen competing to step in at guard.YOUNG DEFENDERS: The Saints are eager to see if players from the past two draft classes can make regular contributions on a defense that needs help. Defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins is competing for snaps after being drafted 12th overall this spring. Meanwhile, two draft choices from last year -- cornerback P.J. Williams and pass-rushing outside linebacker Davis Tull -- are both on track to make their NFL debuts after spending last season on injured reserve.CATCHING ON: Rookie receiver Michael Thomas showed promise in offseason workouts and could compete for a starting job that opened up with the release of franchise career receiving leader Marques Colston last winter.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
