The Baylor Bears did not violate rules in the minds of the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions. That was the news coming down yesterday from multiple outlets, including CBS Sports, after an investigation into a failure to report sexual and interpersonal violence allegations on the university’s campus. However, the NCAA did hit the Bears with other violations, including impermissible benefits and recruiting violations between 2011 and 2016.
“Baylor admitted to moral and ethical failings in its handling of sexual and interpersonal violence on campus but argued those failings, however egregious, did not constitute violations of NCAA rules.
