Thus sayeth UD: He who goes after a President for going down will himself go down.
*********************
And suddenly there appeared The President of the Baylor Men, praising football, and saying:
The laws of God, the laws of man,
He may keep that will and can;
Not I: let God and man decree
Laws for themselves and not for me;
And if my ways are not as theirs
Let them mind their own affairs.
Their deeds I judge and much condemn,
Yet when did I make laws for them?
Please yourselves, say I, and they
Need only look the other way.
But no, they will not; they must still
Wrest my rapists to their will,
And make me dance as they desire
With shame, disgrace, and getting fired.
And how am I to face the odds
Of man’s bedevilment and God’s?
I, a chancellor and afraid
In a world I never made.
They will be master, right or wrong;
Though both are foolish, both are strong.
And since, my soul, we cannot fly
To Saturn nor to Mercury,
Keep we must, if keep we can,
These foreign laws of God and man.

You might appreciate this take on the situation from a journalist who went to Baylor.

Chas: Just read it. I have in fact been wanting to hear more about the specific religious context at Baylor. Thanks for linking me to this.
