On Tuesday morning, the Big 12 Conference announced it has concluded its verification process of Baylor University, and the conference will ultimately fine the university $2 million for reputational damage and $1.65 million for legal fees.
Following the school’s sexual assault scandal that saw head football coach Art Briles fired and president Ken Starr and athletic director Ian McCaw resign, the school has been unanimously verified by the Big 12 Conference in compliance with the conference’s bylaws following a third-party review.
Baylor President Dr. Linda Livingstone sent out an email this morning to the student body regarding the completion of the verification process.
