Baylor and Briles granted extension by NCAA, optimistic for no major penalties

The NCAA’s case against Baylor will not be announced as previously scheduled as former football coach Art Briles has been granted an extension to formally respond to the “notice of allegations,” sources said.

Although Briles and Baylor’s defenses and responses are separate, if one is granted an extension both parties receive it.

The NCAA, which opened an investigation against Baylor in the summer of 2017, sent the school and Briles a notice of allegations in September. Both Baylor and Briles had 90 days to respond.

Officials and those familiar with the case spoke for this report on background on the condition of anonymity.
