You know, a question that a
man always has to ask himself
when he goes through something
like I went through:
"Are you in a better spot
than you were before?"
"Was it worth it?"
And the answer to me is "yes"
and the sooner a man gets
to leading a life
of transparency,
the better off he is and you do
But, what we do because of sin,
things get complicated.
I mean, every day, the devil
would beat me up.
Every single day, the devil
would beat me up
and remind me of what
a bad person I was.
And what that does, that
keeps harboring, you know,
the crime and keeps burying you.
And what you then-- you can't
be of any use to anybody.
Of course, I shouldn't
be forgiven.
dramatic solemn music
[Matt Sayman] For all of it to
fall apart and then in such a
short span, for it to almost
like it didn't happen.
Like right now,
you go down there,
there's not one trace of that.
[Julie Hays] Scandal of the
summer of 2003 has been
wiped from the pages of history.
low solemn music
Our investigation into this
tragedy will continue
to move forward
and I appreciate
the assistance of all the
agencies that helped to bring
this investigation
to this point.
Thank you all very
much for your time.
[Hays] It's one of those
do not--
do not talk about.
low solemn music
[John Segrest] Waco and Baylor
are very closely associated
because Baylor is one of the
largest employers in the county
and that's always been the case.
[Danny Robbins] Baylor grads
are many of the lawyers,
judges, business people.
[Bob Fuller]
Baylor University, you know,
really plays a big part in
what goes on in Waco.
The 2002-2003 season
of my junior year,
At that time, it was like,
Baylor basketball was sort of
just there, nobody paid
much attention to it at all.
You really didn't think
much else about it,
at least I didn't.
I would wonder, "Why are you
Why are you sitting
in those chairs?"
I mean, it was losing season
after losing season,
across the board
on so many sports.
When Dave Bliss was hired,
it had actually been 11 seasons
since Baylor basketball had seen
any play in post conference.
Basketball coaches
have a shelf life
and coaches are not
normal human beings.
They're Type A
performance-driven people
that work insatiably to try
to elevate the status
of their school.
[Sayman] Coach Bliss was known
for turning programs around.
He had basically done it
his entire career.
[Bliss] I was lucky enough
to coach at four
tremendous schools,
five years in Oklahoma
was wonderful...
[Announcer] Coach Dave Bliss.
[Bliss] had eight years at SMU
and then 11 at New Mexico.
He is a marketing genius.
He makes a lot of money.
He knows how to
generate revenue.
from donors
and he is very,
very intelligent.
[Bliss] Twenty-five years that
I was in coaching,
I really envisioned ending
my coaching career
at a Christian school.
I was a Baptist by faith.
It seemed like a
perfect place to go.
Dave Bliss' base salary
went from about
$300,000 a year to $600,000.
And when they hired him,
they made a big deal about it.
It was very much a coronation
when they brought him in.
[Sayman] It's not every day
you get to play for a coach
in college that has, at that
time, around 400 wins.
It wasn't hard to understand
that you were playing for a
future Hall of Fame coach.
[Robbins] The fact that Baylor
is Baylor and it's the world's
largest Baptist institution
and it's had conservative rules
over the years, does not apply
to the athletic program.
The athletic program's a
big-time athletic program,
where winning is paramount.
[Sayman] The more wins, the
more money the university gets.
The more wins, the more
money the coach gets.
The more wins, we get to stay.
it was us second.
We were ultra-competitive,
but our record didn't show it
and our wins didn't show it.
[Bliss] Things didn't come
as easily as they did
competition was greater.
What the SEC is for football,
the Big 12 is for basketball.
The competition, it's
definitely NBA level
without question,
night in and night out.
[crowd cheering]
[Bliss] Pat Dennehy was a
terrific player in University of
New Mexico and he was 6'9",
a very agile player.
I saw a wonderful young man
and was excited about
him coming to Baylor.
He looked like he had all the
attributes that might allow him
to be an NBA player.
Patrick was probably 13,
about 13 years old
before he picked up
his first basketball.
He just learned like crazy
and he became a
great player overnight.
It came easy to him
like everything else.
[Okopnyi] First time
I ever met Patrick,
was a freshman in high school
in San Jose.
I looked up to him,
figuratively and literally.
He was the friendliest guy
I ever met.
He was a funny guy
and he knew that.
He was a brother to me.
He felt a need to protect the
people he cared about... a lot.
[Wynn] Everywhere he went,
I went.
Patrick and I used to go all
over town, to his high school
so he could practice,
go out to eat, go to movies.
He was always kind-hearted
and he would bend over
backwards for people.
He loved hanging out with his
friends, he loved to joke.
He loved to do stuff
to make you laugh too.
He's kind of a clown,
in a way, off the court.
[Okopnyi] He knew who he was,
he was going to be
a basketball star.
me that with his help,
Baylor would be the
Big 12 champion.
At the time, I think it was
hard to get recruits to Baylor.
[Marlowe] Dave Bliss must have
known something about recruiting
because I mean, he got
Patrick really excited
about going to Baylor.
He had Patrick really excited
about being one of their
scholarship athletes.
They have a chance to get
a free education,
get it now.
He had to go somewhere,
a full athletic scholarship.
Dave Bliss, he made it clear to
Patrick that if he came
out to Baylor, everything would
be great, everything was
going to be wonderful.
You're going to be my star.
He had, all of a sudden,
a place to live and he didn't
have to worry about making rent.
He didn't have to worry about,
"Oh my gosh, am I going
to get evicted or not."
The bills were paid.
He didn't have to worry about
his electricity being shut off.
And he didn't have to worry
and wondering if it's going
to break down in the
middle of the road.
He said Dave Bliss had helped
him get a vehicle and I said,
"What did he get?"
And he told me a Chevy Tahoe.
And he loved it.
He really did love it.
[Brian] He talked about how he
was going to be a professional
basketball player, pay for
Wynn's college education,
buy his mom a house.
Well, for the first time
on campus,
Baylor basketball
meant something.
