WACO, Texas (AP) Baylor and Art Briles have mutually agreed to part ways, the move coming almost a month after the release of a scathing report over the university’s handling of sexual assault complaints against players and the coach being suspended by school regents ”with intent to terminate.”
A statement released by the university Friday night said the termination was effective immediately.
According to the statement, both the university and Briles ”acknowledge that there were serious shortcomings in the response to reports of sexual violence by some student-athletes, including deficiencies in University processes and the delegation of disciplinary responsibilities with the football program.”
Baylor, a private school, didn’t provide any financial details for the settling of Briles’ contract which was for eight more seasons.
