Baylor fires staffer over inappropriate texts to teenager

John Rieger-USA TODAY Sports

Baylor has dismissed associate director for football operations DeMarkco Butler, after Butler allegedly sent inappropriate text messages to a teenager, according to KWTX in Texas.

"DeMarkco Butler is no longer employed by Baylor University," Baylor spokesperson David Kaye told A.J. Perez of USA TODAY. "As a personnel matter, we have no further comment."

Butler was hired just 28 days ago on Feb. 15.

This is the second staff member fired by Baylor under new head coach Matt Rhule, as Brandon Washington was fired after being arrested for being part of a prostitution sting in February.

This latest news comes as Baylor deals with a scandal surrounding the sexual assaults of at least 17 women by 19 football players.
