AUSTIN, Texas -- Baylor has kept intact its assistant coaching staff after removing coach Art Briles despite an investigation's multiple findings that football coaches had inappropriate conduct and influence in school assault investigations.
While Baylor regents demoted former president and chancellor Ken Starr and athletic director Ian McCaw resigned, Briles has remained the only coach to be dismissed in the wake a scathing report that the football program behaved as if it was "above the rules" in dealing with allegations of physical and sexual assaults by players.
Alex Zalkin, an attorney for Jasmin Hernandez, a former Baylor student who has filed a federal lawsuit claiming the school was indifferent to her reports of being sexually assaulted by a football player in 2012, questioned why Baylor hasn't dismissed more coaches.
