In the aftermath Baylor's sexual assault scandal, the football team's 2016 ticket prices on the secondary market have dropped 62 percent since earlier this spring, according to an analysis by TicketCity.

Baylor reported selling out its season tickets with a school-record 28,804 and a 98.2 percent renewal rate. Those renewals were due before the release of a report in May that said Baylor mishandled sexual-assault complaints, including some against football players. Coach Art Briles lost his job and several recruits and players left the school, creating negative attention for the university and uncertainty for the team in 2016 as the Bears kick off their season Friday night.
