Baylor self-reports major NCAA infractions in basketball program
Baylor University announced today that Dave Bliss, its former basketball coach, made improper payments to students, allowed major NCAA infractions to occur in his program and then tried to cover up the improprieties. A school-appointed committee made the findings in a report that was made public today. The committee was appointed last fall to study the university's basketball program after player Patrick Dennehy was killed last summer and another player was charged with his murder. The major infractions will result in either self or NCAA imposed penalties on the Baylor basketball program, which is another severe blow to an athletic department that has struggled to compete in the major sports of football and basketball ever since the creation of the Big 12 Conference in the mid-1990's.
