Two Baylor football players were suspended as a result of sexual assault reports filed against them by female members of the school's equestrian team, according to Paula Lavigne and Mark Schlabach of ESPN.

A report from Baylor University Police Department says two female students told police they were sexually assaulted at an apartment building in Waco, Texas in the early morning of Nov. 12 following the Bears' loss to Texas Tech at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The report states the incident was reported on Nov. 17.

Bears head coach Matt Rhule confirmed in an interview with KCEN-TV on Tuesday that two unidentified players were "separated" from the team following an investigation.

"I can't get into too many of the details on this specific incident," Rhule told KCEN-TV. "I really don't know too many of the details on this specific incident, but I do know things have been handled the right way."
