Column: #CAB needs to end

Related Topics: Art Briles

Coach Art Briles. That’s what the hashtag #CAB stands for.

Who is Briles? He was the wildly successful head coach of Baylor football, until this season.

Briles was fired in the offseason after the lid was ripped off the proverbial cookie jar, exposing a culture of sexual assault within the university’s football team.

According to some, Briles knew nothing of the allegations. Others, such as Baylor regent David Harper, refute that, claiming Briles knew of at least one instance of assault and failed to report it to authorities.

The allegations have divided a university. On one hand, you have people who genuinely believe Briles is innocent.
