per SportsDay:
Former football coach Art Briles received $15.1 million from Baylor following his 2016 dismissal during a sexual assault scandal that engulfed his program and the university.
Former President Ken Starr got $4.52 million from the university as part of his departure. Then athletic director Ian McCaw, now the AD at Liberty University, received $761,059, essentially one year's salary, upon his resignation.
The dollar figures of the settlements surfaced in Baylor's 990 filing to the IRS, required annually of non-profit organizations, filed this week and obtained by The Dallas Morning News. The settlements had been subject to non-disclosure agreements. All settlement payments have already been made with the funds coming from Baylor's institutional reserves, according to a university official.
The Briles settlement figure will be the one that draws the most attention given the former coach's profile after leading Baylor to national prominence with consecutive Big 12 titles in 2013 and 2014. In the joint settlement statement issued by Briles and Baylor in June 2016, both sides acknowledged "serious shortcomings in the response to reports of sexual violence by some student-athletes, including deficiencies in university processes and the delegation of disciplinary responsibilities with the football program."
