  • 2017 Rice Football Media Guide
    BRIAN PATTERSON SPORTS PERFORMANCE CENTER An exciting new chapter in the storied history of Rice Stadium and Rice Athletics debuts this fall when the Owls move into their sparkling new end zone facility, the Brian Patterson Sports Perfor- mance Center. The fully-funded $33 million project includes a 60,000-square-foot, two-story structure that houses a weight room, a home team locker room, coaching and staff offices, an auditorium, a football team lounge and areas for training and sports medicine that include hydrotherapy, plunge pools and exam rooms. The weight room and sports medicine areas will be available to student-athletes from all sports at Rice. The new building features a glass wall on the side facing the football field that offers a view of the weight rooms on the ground and second floors. The other three sides will be made of brick that complements the color of the brick on the rest of the stadium. White columns supporting the roof will be similar to the columns in other parts of the stadium. A concrete ramp will provide access to the football field. Fans will also benefit from the dramatic upgrade in facilities with the installation of a new Daktronics video system Rice Stadium will also feature two acoustically transparent video displays in front of the venue’s speaker systems. These free-form LED stick applications will measure 29 feet high by 10 feet wide to provide additional video and graphics capabilities in a space typically used for fixed signage. These displays will provide flexibility to show multiple sponsorship messages throughout an event or additional graphics to pump up the crowd at key moments during the game.

    Independent Investigation Report I. Executive Summary This engagement was prompted when Tom Hill, a former Baylor University Athletic Department employee, gave certain testimony in a deposition taken in connection with a Title IX case filed by a group of women against Baylor University. See Jane Doe 1, et al. v. Baylor Univ., No. 6:16-cv-00173-RP, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, Waco Division (hereinafter “Title IX litigation”). During his deposition, Mr. Hill stated that he heard of an incident that allegedly took place in the city of Querétaro, State of Querétaro, Mexico (hereinafter “Querétaro”) and involved two former members of the Baylor Board of Regents, Richard Willis and Ramiro Peña, and a former Baylor Athletics booster, Greg Klepper. Specifically, Mr. Hill testified that Mr. Klepper alleged Mr. Willis and Mr. Peña made racist, sexist, and anti-Semitic remarks during a business trip to Querétaro, Mexico in late July 2014. He also testified that Mr. Klepper alleged Mr. Willis and Mr. Peña were drunk during a dinner at the home of a local businessman in Querétaro and made some of the alleged remarks, causing them to be asked to leave the host’s home. These allegations quickly became public. Baylor asked Ashcroft Sutton Reyes to investigate to determine if these allegations were true. Our key findings and conclusions can be summarized as follows: • Messrs. Willis and Peña deny they made racist, sexist, and anti-Semitic remarks during the trip to Querétaro, Mexico. They admit drinking alcohol but deny being drunk. • Mr. Klepper claimed to make a video recording of some of the alleged remarks, but also admitted that he destroyed the SD Card from the recording device before anyone could examine the video.
