Read the first response to the Baylor scandal from Art Briles' assistant coaches

Baylor offensive coordinator Kendal Briles posted a statement signed by all of the team's assistants

The Baylor sexual assault scandal -- that resulted in the firing of Art Briles and the dismissals of athletic director Ian McCaw and school president Ken Starr -- has been back in the headlines this week. Members of the school's Board of Regents and other school officials have responded to requests from 60 Minutes Sports, the Wall Street Journal, the Dallas Morning News and other media outlets. Everyone's interested in reviewing the failures of leadership in the handling of sexual assault allegations, and now Art Briles' assistants want to share their side of the story as a response to one particular allegation.

It's the first time that Baylor's assistants have spoken on the scandal, and the message was delivered with an ALL-CAPS emphasis.

The statement was signed by all of the Baylor assistants and posted to the Twitter account of offensive coordinator Kendal Briles.
