WACO, Texas (AP) — Art Briles is officially out as Baylor’s head football coach.
Briles and the school have mutually agreed to part ways, effective immediately. The decision comes almost a month after the release of a scathing report over the university’s handling of sexual assault complaints against football players and the coach being suspended by school regents “with intent to terminate.”
Baylor is facing at least three federal lawsuits brought by women who claim the school was indifferent to or ignored claims of sexual assault and didn’t enforce federal gender discrimination protections under Title IX.
