"Ex-Baylor Coach Art Briles Claims Ignorance, Negligence Charges Dismissed"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by CBS Sports
A federal judge has dismissed negligence claims against former Baylor coach Art Briles and former Bears athletic director Ian McCaw in a case involving a former student who accused a player of physical assault. Briles testified that he was unaware of the allegations until a lawsuit was filed, despite evidence suggesting otherwise. The lawsuit was brought forth by a Baylor alumna who claims she was put at risk due to the university's failure to address sexual violence. Multiple former female students have filed complaints and lawsuits against Baylor in connection with the sexual assault scandal that led to Briles' firing.
