Venables says Briles' presence on field after OU win 'being dealt with'

Oklahoma coach Brent Venables was unaware that former Baylor coach Art Briles had entered the field following Saturday night's win, and said the situation is "being dealt with."

Briles, who Baylor fired in 2016 amid a sexual assault scandal with the program, was seen talking with Oklahoma offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby after the Sooners' 28-11 home win over SMU on Saturday night. Images of Briles on the field wearing an Oklahoma shirt sparked backlash from Sooners fans on social media.

"I was made aware of it, just before I came in here, that he was [on the field]," Venables told reporters.
