Baylor U. Former AD - Regents "elaborate plan" to scapegoat black football players

Racist regents 'scapegoated' black football players in Baylor rape scandal, former AD says


A former athletic director at Baylor University said the school's regents cast black football players and the football program as the scapegoats in a university-wide rape scandal that spanned decades, according to a motion filed Wednesday in federal court.

Ian McCaw now serves as the director of athletics at Liberty University in Virginia.
The deposition by Ian McCaw, now the AD at Liberty University in Virginia, is part of a lawsuit filed by 10 women who allege that Baylor violated Title IX by denying them educational opportunities after they reported sexual assaults to the school.


The regents sanctioned McCaw in May 2016 during the scandal and placed him on probation. He resigned within days because he "was disgusted at that point with the regents, the racism." He said he "did not want to be part of some Enron cover-up scheme," according to the court filing.

In the deposition, McCaw described an "elaborate plan that essentially scapegoated black football players and the football program for being responsible for what was a decades-long, university-wide sexual assault scandal."
