AUSTIN -- Fired Baylor coach Art Briles is fighting back, nearly two months after he was let go in the fallout over how the school investigated rape allegations.

His latest move came Wednesday when Briles asked a federal judge to remove him from a lawsuit that accuses him and other school officials of ignoring a woman's claims she was raped by former player Tevin Elliot, who was later convicted and sent to prison.
