The Big 12 board announced Wednesday that it will withhold 25 percent of future revenue distribution payments to Baylor, pending an outcome of third-party verification review of required changes to the school's "athletics procedures and to institutional governance of its intercollegiate athletics programs."
"The Board is unified in establishing a process to verify that proper institutional controls are in place and sustainable," Oklahoma president and Big 12 board chair David Boren said in a statement. "By taking these actions the board desires to ensure that the changes that were promised are actually made and that systems are in place to avoid future problems.
