Audience Member A really interesting and sad story about the death of basketball superstar Patrick Denahy and circumstances surrounding the event. The death was likely committed by an offender who is still currently in jail, but there are definitely extenuating circumstances and he's not the only guilty party in the story. Baylor University had a big role to play in the coverup namely their head basketball coach. But many many things were swept under the rug due to Baylor's influence with the lawyers and judges associated with this case. It's shocking as we know US colleges "get away with murder" but it's ridiculously considering how shocking and vile some of the actions were (disgracing the deceased player in order to save the reputation and careers of Baylor employees ie AD, head coach, President, etc). It's a very interesting and fascinating story presented very professionally.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Some stuff about college basketball corruption, drugs & murder that I never really did understand even with all the scrupulous detail so carefully laid out. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty interesting and absorbing doc about a Baylor basketball player who was murdered - which led to a weaselly cover-up of NCAA violations by the coach. But it just ends up vague and fuzzy. Some really splashy points are brought up but then not explored. There was one bit where a guy goes to jail and half the time it's saying it's terrible he went to court at all - because he should have been ruled incompetent - but then half the time we're saying it's terrible he got such a soft sentence. Ultimately this doc is unsatisfying. What we know - like the asswipe weasel coach getting another coaching job in the end while blabbing piously about his Christianity - and what we don't know - it's all unsatisfying. Some of that is not to the discredit of the doc - it is just accurately showing what happened, some of which was unresolved - but some of it is (to the discredit of the doc). Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Horrifying, compelling expose of a special kind of nefariousness only able to be born and bred in America. All our power structures are on full display, to sickening effect. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Holy crap. This is the slimiest stuff I've ever seen. Baylor is a damn mess. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
