Baylor offensive lineman Rami Hammad is facing felony stalking charges after his former girlfriend reported several instances in which he tracked her down, harassed her and twice physically assaulted her, including once at Baylors athletic facilities on campus.On July 7, the former girlfriend noticed Hammad waiting for her after class. She asked for help from the professor, who took the woman into her office, and Hammad began continually knocking on the door, according to the arrest affidavit. The professor first tried to call Hammads coaches, but when no one in the athletic department was available, she placed a call to Baylor police.Baylor officials would not provide details on this particular professor but said that all faculty receive Title IX training and that when made aware of an incident, they are to first ensure the safety of the student and then report behavior violating the policy to the Title IX office.Hammad, a 21-year-old junior from Irving, Texas, is out on bond after he was arrested Monday and booked into McLennan County Jail on a third-degree felony stalking charge. He has been suspended from all team activities associated with Baylor football, pending resolution of this issue, Baylor officials announced Tuesday.The university offered no further comment, citing federal privacy laws. Federal law allows schools to disclose publicly whether a student has been found guilty in a school disciplinary proceeding of any crime of violence or sex offense.According to the affidavit, police made contact with Hammad on July 7 at the professors office, and investigators spoke to him again on July 11. On both occasions, he was ordered to stay away from the woman, but he was not arrested.At the time, Hammad admitted to police that he had been trying to find the woman by going to her apartment, checking local hotels and even driving through parking lots that she might frequent. Hammad told police that he just wanted to talk to the victim in an attempt to mend their troubled relationship.The woman told police that she had taken extensive measures to keep him from finding her, including driving a different vehicle and subleasing a home in Waco that she said he didnt know about.After the incident at the classroom, the woman reported that on three separate occasions -- July 12, July 13 and July 26 -- Hammad tried to contact her through mutual friends, and he once had a special meal from a restaurant he knew she liked sent to her home. After the last incident, the report states, she was no longer comfortable living in Waco and moved back to her hometown out-of-state.Hammads ex-girlfriend also detailed incidents that started several months ago. She said Hammad physically assaulted her twice: once on March 15 at his home, where he placed his hand on her throat and held her against a wall during an argument, and once on June 13, when the two were outside a Baylor practice facility on campus and he grabbed her by the arms and pushed her against a wall.?Its unclear whether the woman reported Hammad to Baylor officials before the July 7 incident and if the university had started a Title IX investigation.The woman said she ended the relationship in May, but Hammad was a manipulative individual and was very persuasive in his attempts to mend the relationship. She said Hammad would place multiple calls and text messages to her phone, and when she blocked his number, his friends started calling her on his behalf. According to the affidavit, during Hammads pleas to the woman for forgiveness, he would talk of suicide, and the woman said she felt she needed to see or speak to him many times to keep him from harming himself. She said she tried to get help for him through Baylors counseling center, but he would not agree to see the counselors on a regular basis.Its unclear why Baylor police did not arrest Hammad until Monday, and Baylor police officials did not return calls for comment Tuesday. Hammad did not respond to messages left Tuesday.If Hammad is indicted, he would be the fourth Baylor football player charged with crimes against women in the past four years. He is now one of many named in police reports alleging domestic violence or harassment. Former defensive end Shawn Oakman was indicted on charges of second-degree felony sexual assault last month.Defensive ends Tevin Elliott and Sam Ukwuachu were convicted of sexual assault in 2014 and 2015, respectively.Baylor has been under fire for its handling of reports of sexual assault and violence involving football players for the past year. In late May, after the board of regents received a presentation from law firm Pepper Hamilton, whom it had hired to review the schools sexual assault response and Title IX practices, the regents announced the demotion of president Ken Starr to chancellor, the suspension with intent to terminate of football coach Art Briles and probation for athletic director Ian McCaw. Within weeks, McCaw resigned, Briles was fired, and Starr stepped down from all leadership positions at Baylor but stayed on as a law professor.Last month at Big 12 media days, acting head coach Jim Grobe told the press, We dont have a culture of bad behavior at Baylor University. The problems that were dealing with at Baylor and have dealt with at Baylor, to this point, are problems that are probably at every university in the country.After his comment sparked some outrage on social media, he later said that he was referring to the players on the roster, not the former players accused of sexual assault and other acts of violence.

It is a cliché dragged out by fans and pundits regularly when discussions take place around which teams are better than others. Simon Pagenaud has run just 25 oval races in his lifetime.Hell complete two more between now and Aug. 27, and how the 32-year old Frenchman fares in those races at Pocono Raceway and Texas Motor Speedway could be the determining factor in whether he is able to secure his first Verizon IndyCar Series championship.On the strength of four road racing wins, including the most recent IndyCar event at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Pagenaud leads his Team Penske teammates Will Power and Helio Castroneves in the standings by 58 and 111 points respectively.With four races remaining that will unfold quickly over the next five weeks -- Pocono, the continuance of the rained-out Texas race that started in June, and natural terrain road courses Sonoma and Watkins Glen -- Pagenauds points lead is comfortable but not quite cushy. Adding a couple quality results on the Pocono and Texas ovals could end the championship drama early, and Pagenaud believes hes ready for that breakthrough oval victory.I think were there, really, he said. I think this year we took a big step forward. For the first time on the short ovals, weve shown a lot of strength -- second at Phoenix, and we were running second for the whole race at Iowa before we had a little bit of a mechanical issue at the end and finished fourth. At Indy, I felt we would have contended for the win as well if we didnt have another mechanical issue.At Texas, I felt really strong during the race -- he was running 15th after a pit stop when the red flag flew after 71 of 248 laps -- and I was disappointed we had to go home. But this year has been a big step forward. Ive had a tremendous car and we found stuff that I really like that gives me confidence to keep pushing on ovals.For a lifelong road racer like Pagenaud, adapting to oval racing isnt as simple as it seems. Aside from learning the nuances of driving a car set up to only turn left, the races unfold at a faster pace, and pit strategy can play a much bigger role.Power won a half-distance twin?race at Texas in 2011 in his 24th oval start but felt he carried a burden for not winning a full-length race until he won the 2013 season finale at Fontana.Castroneves, a three-time Indianapolis 500 winner, required 29 oval starts before scoring his first win. Four-time IndyCar Series champion Dario Franchitti made 45 starts over nearly five full years before scoring his first oval triumph in 2001.Im better at the game, Pagenaud said. At the end of the day, its a game: How does the race play out? On a road course for me, its very natural. On an oval, Im still learning how it plays out in the end. Its always in the last 30 laps that you win the race.Now I feel like Im there, he added. Its just a matter of time and having the opportunity.The first chance comes at Pocono, the unique 2.5-mile Pennsylvania tri-oval. With 500 miles on tap Sunday, theres ample opportunity for anything to happen.Pagenauds 58-point cushion with four races to go is the largest lead a driver has enjoyed at this point in the season since 2010. Team Penske drivers have led the standings with four to go four times in the past six years but ffailed to convert the late advantage into a championship.ddddddddddddolding down the top three spots in the standings this year, Penske looks likely to get the job done. Josef Newgarden lies fourth in the standings but will not restart the Texas race after crashing out of the first segment. Four-time IndyCar Series champion Scott Dixon of Chip Ganassi Racing is next up, 127 points behind Pagenaud.Running 1-2-3 is a good problem for Roger and for the entire team, Pagenaud said. This team works so hard and deserves to do so well. They leave nothing unturned. I just want to be the one who gives them that gift of winning the championship. Being 1-2-3 in the championship is amazing, and I hope we finish that way. But I just want to bring these guys what they deserve.Power, who missed the season opener with concussion-like symptoms, has done an excellent job in rebounding to become Pagenauds closest championship contender. The Australian knows he needs to be virtually perfect over the next four races to defeat his teammate.We have a lot of momentum right now, and Pocono is a track that weve had some good performances, Power said. Were in the championship hunt, and thats all I could ask at this point after missing the first race.While much attention is focused on the frosty relationship between Mercedes-Benz F1 teammates Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, the four Team Penske IndyCar drivers get along famously. Power and Pagenaud sometimes clashed as Indy car rookies in the Champ Car-sanctioned series in 2007, but the past two years under the Penske umbrella have been harmonious.I wouldnt say we had a bad relationship, Pagenaud said of his 07 pairing with Power at Walker Racing. Back then it was more a language barrier. Now its a different deal because I understand the subtlety of the language and weve had a really good two years together.The Penske duo has had several memorable on-track battles this year, most notably at Detroit Belle Isle and in the most recent race at Mid-Ohio. Pagenauds race-winning pass on Power was a thing of beauty, the two Penske cars running side-by-side for most of a lap, occasionally banging into each other, before Pagenaud finally muscled ahead.Pagenaud and Power have demonstrated all season that they are this years top IndyCar Series drivers. And even though the championship seems to be playing out within the confines of one team, things have never been boring for the fans -- or the main protagonists.For me, its really enjoyable, said Pagenaud. Will is driving really well, and we know we have the best cars. At the end of the day, youve got to take your gloves off and go for it, but that doesnt mean you cant get along outside the racetrack or outside the car.Obviously when it comes crunch time, were probably not going to have our ice cream together, he added. But still, were going to be back at the trailer together to talk. I mean, we have to be together because were fighting to be first and second, and for that we need to work together. ' ' '
