Baylor paid ex-coach Art Briles $15.1 million after dismissal amid school's sexual assault scandal; Ken Starr got $4.5 million

Former football coach Art Briles received $15.1 million from Baylor following his 2016 dismissal during a sexual assault scandal that engulfed his program and the university.

Former President Ken Starr got $4.52 million from the university as part of his departure. Then athletic director Ian McCaw, now the AD at Liberty University, received $761,059, essentially one year's salary, upon his resignation.

The dollar figures of the settlements surfaced in Baylor's 990 filing to the IRS, required annually of non-profit organizations, filed this week and obtained by The Dallas Morning News. The settlements had been subject to non-disclosure agreements.
