Baylor issues statement on Kendal Briles investigation

Baylor released a statement Friday about offensive coordinator Kendal Briles' meeting with the NCAA over possible recruiting violations.

"Since being notified more than a year ago by the NCAA about potential violations involving two assistant football coaches, we have worked cooperatively with the NCAA, and Thursday's hearing was just the next step in the process to bring it to closure. We take all NCAA inquiries seriously and look forward to putting this behind us in the near future," the school said, according to Brett McMurphy of ESPN.

Briles, who allegedly had improper contact with a recruit, met with the NCAA in Indianapolis on Wednesday.

He's been with the Bears since 2008, and was a finalist for the Broyles Award in 2015, presented to the nation's top coordinator.
