Baylor is a fine university that has suffered from recent failures in its leadership, which I hope have been remedied with its new president. Baylor will be okay.
Waco, however, never really recovered after being leveled by an F5 tornado in 1953. I grew up in Dallas. Other than a childhood friend who decided to join Baylor's faculty after graduating college, I have never known of anyone who decided to move permanently to Waco. I have known plenty of people who grew up in Waco and moved away for better career opportunities.
It has been difficult for Waco to shake its well deserved image for backwardness. This incident doesn't help.
