Baylor has alerted the NCAA about possible rules violations stemming from its handling of sexual assault cases involving football players, outgoing board of regents chairman Richard Willis said Thursday.
"The university has made contact with the NCAA to initially discuss potential infractions and offer full cooperation," Willis said in a media teleconference.
In the wake of a report on sexual assaults at the school from Philadelphia law firm Pepper Hamilton, the regents voted to suspend football coach Art Briles with "intent to terminate." School president Ken Starr lost his title but will remain as chancellor.
Baylor men's basketball was placed on five years' probation by the NCAA in 2005 and received a host of harsh sanctions in the wake of a shooting death of a player and multiple violations by former coach Dave Bliss.
