Ex-Baylor head coach Art Briles drops libel lawsuit against school officials

Former Baylor head football coach Art Briles dropped a lawsuit against four officials at the university in which he accused them of falsely claiming that he knew of sex crimes that players had been reported to have committed and that he failed to pass along the information to the proper authorities, according to KWTX.

"All he wanted was his good name." Briles' attorney said. “I'm sorry we didn't get this resolved for all the Baylor people, so they could know the truth.”

“A man can only carry so much,” he added.

Briles was fired from Baylor in May 2016 amid the sexual abuse scandal on campus.
