Baylor had to settle another case with 15 victims, with Briles and McCraw also named in the lawsuit. They really did not want that one going to trial with exposure to McCraw and Briles.

"Among the 15 plaintiffs was a woman who alleged being assaulted by a football player in April 2014, a woman who reported that two football players assaulted her in April 2016 and a woman who said a player on the rugby team -- a club sport at Baylor -- assaulted her in fall 2012, according to the complaints.

The lawsuit was one of several that were filed that alleged staff and administrators ignored or stifled reports from women who said they were assaulted on or near campus."

"The investigation also pointed to failings within the football program and athletic department, including ?failure to identify and respond to a pattern of sexual violence by a football player and to a report of dating violence,? according to the finding of fact."

An earlier lawsuit was settled in 2017.

"Former Baylor student Jasmin Hernandez, who was raped by an ex-Baylor football player, reached a settlement in her Title IX lawsuit against the university.

The lawsuit, which included former head coach Art Briles and athletic director Ian McCaw as defendants, said Baylor ?failed to properly train and educate? its employees in the ?appropriate response to allegations of sexual harassment, sexual abuse and retaliatory conduct.? According to ESPN.com and the Waco Tribune, the sides reached an agreement to give Hernandez a financial settlement after mediation on Saturday. The financial amount was not disclosed."
