Fans were selling black shirts with "#CAB" on the front, the initials for Coach Art Briles.
Friday evening saw Baylor assistant coaches dispute regent David Harper's claim that Briles failed to act on a specific sexual-assault allegation against one of his players.
Then Saturday morning, receiver Chris Platt tweeted that the team's scheduled all black uniforms were also to protest against Briles' dismissal, only to later backtrack after making his account private.

A Briles banner was also hanging from one of the suites.
