One week after Baylor suspended him with the intent to fire him, football coach Art Briles issued a statement saying that he has "made mistakes" but that he is "contractually obligated to remain silent" on the matters surrounding his dismissal.
In response to a scathing review of its handling of sexual assault allegations made against students, including several football players, Baylor's board of regents fired Briles, took the university presidency from Kenneth Starr and put athletic director Ian McCaw on probation. Since that day, Starr has also resigned as chancellor and McCaw has stepped down.
