Kenneth Starr: 'Grave injustice' done to Briles
Former Baylor president and chancellor Kenneth Starr defended former Bears football coach Art Briles on Saturday, saying Briles was unfairly criticized by the media for his handling of allegations of sexual assault against some of his players.
During an interview at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, Starr said Briles was an "honorable man who conducted an honorable program."
"Briles has devoted his life to molding the lives of young men," Starr said. "A grave injustice was done to Art Briles. Coach Briles has been calumnied ... it's completely unfair.
"I have great confidence to this day in Coach Briles. I believe he's an honorable person."
