The sickening revelations and claims of sexual assault by Baylor football players continue to come out well after Art Briles’ firing as well as the release of the massive report which stated that there was a “cultural perception that football was above the rules”. Now a new claim and revelation are dogging the school and the football program.

Offensive lineman Rami Hammad, who was arrested Monday on felony stalking charges, had been accused last fall of sexual assault against a fellow student and confronting the woman after being issued a no-contact order by the university, according to ESPN. Hammad is facing the stalking charges after his former girlfriend reported on several instances from March until July that she was being harassed and physically assaulted by her ex-boyfriend.

Last fall, a different woman reported to Baylor’s Title IX office that she had been sexually assaulted by Hammad. After Hammad confronted the woman about why he was under investigation by the Title IX office, she requested a no-contact order from the university, according to documents reviewed by Outside the Lines. She received it, but three days later, Hammad allegedly confronted her again. She and two witnesses reported that confrontation to police, but she declined to press charges, believing the Title IX office would pursue the matter, she told Outside the Lines.

“This is all Baylor’s fault,” she said. “Had they taken my case slightly more seriously and put some kind of ‘warning’ on him, this wouldn’t have happened. … The mannerisms that she described are so similar. It’s not just something I wanted to remember.”

All calls to Hammad were referred to his defense attorney, who said that he has not had the ability to meet with Hammad to talk about either of the allegations now in front of him.

Last month at Big 12 media days, new Baylor head coach Jim Grobe didn’t win over many admirers when he said of the school, “We don’t have a culture of bad behavior at Baylor University. The problems that we’re dealing with at Baylor and have dealt with at Baylor, to this point, are problems that are probably at every university in the country.” He said he was referring to players on the current roster, and at the time Hammad was still present on it. He’s not anymore.

Unfortunately, it seems that every day, another one of these stories emerges from Baylor, and shows the problems at the school go even deeper than many feared.
