The NCAA’s long and winding investigation of Baylor football dating to the Art Briles Era is heading toward a conclusion. Parties on all sides are waiting for a hearing date to be scheduled before the Committee on Infractions, multiple sources told Sports Illustrated.
The ongoing investigation generated some notable transparency by the school during its search last month to replace coach Matt Rhule: candidates who interviewed for the job were shown a document from Baylor’s outside counsel, Bond, Schoeneck & King, that outlined the general parameters of the NCAA’s Notice of Allegations, sources said. Coaches who went through the interview process were given a preview of what they could be getting into, depending on the outcome of the case.
