Apparently Art Briles and other Baylor administrators have finally overplayed their hand. Briles and Colin Shillinglaw, a former assistant athletcs director, recently filed defamation suits against three regents - Cary Gray, Ron Murff and David Harper.
Briles suddenly dropped his lawsuit this week, without any settlement. But the three regents, (with help from their lawyer, Rusty Hardin), decided enough was enough.
So in response to Shillinglaw’s suit, they released documents Thursday that paint a picture of a program out of control. The documents paint Briles, former athletic director Ian McCaw and several others on the football coaching staff as actively covering up damaging information in order to protect Baylor players who committed criminal acts.
