Officials at Baylor University are denying the football program is considering a bowl ban for this upcoming season amid an NCAA investigation into the school's athletic program.
The Fort Worth Star–Telegram reported Tuesday that the NCAA's probe "has taken a left turn” where Baylor is being advised by lawyers to impose sanctions, including a 2018 postseason ban.
“It is irresponsible to report that Baylor is considering a football bowl ban for the 2018 season when in fact the NCAA investigation into the prior football staff and previous athletics administration remains active and ongoing," Baylor said in a statement.
