This article got me thinking.
Briles makes $5 million a year. If 25 daughters and their parents decide they don't want to attend Baylor next year, that's another $5 million away from the university over four years. If only 100 decide not to go because of this issue, that's $20 million away from the school because of this over four years.
Baylor had ~3,300 freshman enroll last fall. Assuming 1,650 are female, it would take a considerable percentage of prospective students choosing to pass on Baylor to make a financial impact that would negate the media dollars and revenue generated by a successful football team. That doesn't include prospective male students not going there, but I'd be surprised if that population is large.
