It is not the same as Penn State University Scandal on Children Assaults exposing Penn State Athletic & Football Program Non-Compliance's, but it did expose the same types of violations. Why Baylor University Program had to let go the Head Coach over not being in Compliance with some Laws, Rules, and Regulations. It is not about Graduation Rates, or Criminal Verdicts,or Coaches giving their own Discipline, it is about being in compliance with all required NCAA, BIG-10, & Federal & Commonwealth reporting Laws, Regulations and Rules. Penn State and now Baylor had some ways of avoiding these regulations, laws, and rules as they applied to Athletes as Students, but given special treatment on discipline or ignored all together.
Excerpts:
Baylor's board of regents has released a more detailed look into the football program's sexual assault scandal:

Here are four things to know about the details released by the Baylor regents on Friday:

1. There were 17 women that alleged sexual or domestic assault by 19 football players since 2011. According to the regents, 17 women brought forward sexual assault allegations against football players since 2011, including four allegations of gang rape. Until now, we had not known exactly how widespread the problem was within the Baylor football program, but allegations by 17 women against 19 players shows why the program was deemed to have a severe cultural problem. "There was a cultural issue there that was putting winning football games above everything else, including our values," said J. Cary Gray, a member of the Baylor board of regents, to the Wall Street Journal. "We did not have a caring community when it came to these women who reported that they were assaulted. And that is not OK."
This is very similar to what happen at Penn State's Football Culture being above social value norms! Baylor involved Alleged Players Arrests of Alleged Rapes not being recorded or reported or remained in silence. Penn State did not report Arrests of Players on many and different charges as required by Clery Act & Title IX. This has nothing to do whether the Players were found Guilty or Innocent, the Non-Compliance of not reporting the Arrests was the violations, not the outcome at any Hearing or Trial.

2. Briles told the regents his system of delegation made him the last to know about allegations. After the release of the Pepper Hamilton report and two days before his eventual firing, Briles spoke to to the board of regents about the scandal, as detailed by Gray. "He couldn't speak he was so upset, and all of us were," Gray said. "Art said, 'I delegated down, and I know I shouldn't have. And I had a system where I was the last to know, and I should have been the first to know.'" Briles' lawyer said he quoted scripture and expressed remorse, but did not admit wrongdoing in the scandal.
It is not the same since Paterno was told and then he reported it to Higher Ups. Paterno admitted in Hindsight more should have be done, but it was Spanier that was alleged not telling the Trustees what they wanted to know, and therefore had to be let go. This is still under Lawsuits and Criminal Court pending Trials. Briles claims he never was told at all unlike Paterno told a Grand Jury what was told to him?

3. Briles was fired for failing to meet Title IX requirements and a failure to act on allegations. Briles allegedly was made aware of particular allegation of gang rape in which one of the victims was a Baylor athlete in another sport. According to the Wall Street Journal, Briles was "supportive of her claim" and wanted her to take the matter to the police, but failed to notify the school's Title IX office or the judicial affairs office. "As he heard information, what did he do with it? From a moral standpoint, what is the right thing to do?" said Ron Murff, chairman of the board of regents.
This is very similar to Penn State obligations of not following Athletic Integrity Agreement, Title IX & Clery Act. Here it is now known and pending Title IX Clery Act Report that has been kept secret beyond its Pubic Due Date Released by Law? Penn State played Players suspended by the University and did so blaming it on a miscommunication until after signing day. The arrests has to be reported under Clery Act Law & Title IX, not waiting for any verdict or outcome.

4. Baylor football players were responsible for 10.4 percent of Title IX reported incidents from 2011-2015. In response to claims that Baylor singled out the football program in something that was a broader school-wide issue, Gray responded, "football is just a fraction, but it is a bad fraction." According to the Wall Street Journal, football players accounted for 10.4 percent of Title IX reported incidents over the four year period that ended in 2014-15.

Here Penn State had almost no reporting of Title IX & Clery Act PSU Players Arrests until 2012 Reforms, No Athletic Integrity Code of Players Conduct until 2012 Reforms, Treated Players Differently than from other Students under Judicial Student Affairs until 2012 Reforms, No Athletic Integrity Officer, No Director of Ethics & Compliance, and had Undisclosed Conflicts of Interests among Trustees, Coaches and Employees. All corrected under Freeh 116 of 119 Recommendations and NCAA Monitor fully enacted in 2012 Reforms!

The Culture of Penn State University Football and all Penn State Athletics was changed, reported, updated, and fully reformed in 2012? Whereby, no one person, coach, or employee will ever be above University Compliance Regulations again.

The Baylor University culture of football is being changed as well, just like what happen at Penn State under NCAA, Big Ten, and DOE & DOJ Sanctions pending fines of findings.

Penn State University to its credit hired Freeh to investigate Penn State and came up implementing Freeh's 116 of 119 Recommendations and the Penn State 2012 Reforms put in under a NCAA Sanction Monitor so excellent they were reduced by 2 years. Credit Penn State University for changing its Corrupt Culture of Football being above University Values and now a Model of Full Compliance that Baylor University is adopting as well.
