Former Baylor University head football coach Art Briles released a statement Wednesday defending his reputation and denying he covered up sexual assault allegations involving the team.
Phillip Ericksen of the Waco Tribune-Herald passed along details of a letter released by the former Bears coach concerning his role in the school's sexual assault scandal and the need for more transparency from the Baylor Board of Regents:
Let me be clear. I did not cover up sexual violence. I had no contact with anyone that claimed to be a victim of sexual or domestic assault.
