Art Briles Testifies in Title IX Trial, Denies Knowledge of Allegations

Former Baylor football coach Art Briles testified in a Title IX and negligence trial that he had no knowledge of domestic violence allegations made by a former student against one of his players in 2014 until she filed a lawsuit two years later. Briles claimed ignorance on various issues, including Title IX, his own book, and a defamation lawsuit he filed. The trial revolves around allegations that Baylor's failure to address sexual violence put the plaintiff at risk, and Briles and former athletic director Ian McCaw are named as individual defendants. Briles admitted that he should have been aware of the allegations if his staff members knew about them. The trial is the only one from that time to make it to court.
