If Brittney Griner knew she was gay early in high school (which the article says she did, and I don't see any reason to doubt it), then I'm very puzzled by her decision to attend Baylor.  If I were gay, Baylor is one of the last places I'd want to go.  (Of course, one might point out that even though I'm not gay, Baylor is still one of the last places I'd want to go, but that's beside the point.)

Good basketball program
Are their D1 womens' basketball programs that aren't welcoming to gay athletes?
Close to home
Despite Baylor's rep, the college kids at a school that big aren't going to make a big deal of it.  Baylor students actually have a chip on their shoulder about the Baptist label.
Despite Waco's rep, it's in the Houston, Dallas, Austin/San Antonio triangle, which in Texas is a bit better than being outside of that triangle.
