Baylor suspends Blanchard after accusations of repeated violence

Baylor has suspended Travon Blanchard indefinitely after the star defensive back was accused of multiple acts of violence against a woman he had a relationship with in a protective order issued Tuesday.

"The Baylor Athletics Department is aware of a complaint made against Travon Blanchard through the McLennan County District Attorney's Office," Baylor said in a statement obtained by David Smoak of ESPN-Central Texas.

"Immediately upon notification on February 7th, the appropriate campus student-conduct process was initiated and Blanchard was suspended indefinitely from all team-related activities, pending the outcome of the investigation."

The order, which was obtained by John Carroll and Mikel Lauber of KWTX.com, claims the Bears standout engaged in acts of violence and that there is a "threat of family violence in the future." Blanchard has also been ordered to stop communication with the woman.

According to the order, there have been at least four incidents of violence against the applicant by Blanchard, dating from July 4, 2016 to Feb. 4, 2017.

The redshirt junior was an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection for the 2016 season.
