IRVING, Texas – The Big 12 Spring Meetings concluded Friday at the Four Seasons Resort with the financial disclosure of $34.8 million per school, a 15-percent increase from a year ago.

As promised, the conference will hold a percentage of Baylor’s take, roughly $6 million, in escrow as it awaits a verification process from the conference that the school has attained institutional control after at least six federal or state lawsuits alleging that the school covered up or mishandled reports of sexual misconduct and other unlawful acts rocked the campus over the last year.

Dr. Linda Livingstone has been named the Baylor president, and in fact her first official day on duty was today, representing the school at the conference Board of Directors meetings.
