New Arizona State defensive coordinator Phil Bennett denied any knowledge of reports of sexual assault or attempts to cover up such allegations during his time at Baylor.
"Never," Bennett told reporters -- including ESPN.com's Ted Miller -- before ASU's first spring practice. "The reason I've stayed in this business for 40 years is I've never compromised my integrity ... and I've learned every place I've been."
Bennett has not been named in any of the lawsuits filed against Baylor in the wake of a sexual assault scandal that allegedly includes at least 52 rapes by 31 football players in a four-year period.
