By Jim Vertuno , The Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas — Former Baylor coach Art Briles conceded months ago that the sexual assault scandal that led to his firing likely ended his career. That’s not the case for some of his former assistants, including his son. At least three former assistants and staff members from last season have new jobs, while others are still looking as Baylor faces multiple lawsuits filed by alleged victims accusing the school of promoting “a culture of sexual violence.” The reception at their new schools has ranged from quiet indifference to fan resistance strong enough to force one university, Texas, to defend the hire. Brenda Tracy, a sexual assault survivor and activist, urged schools to stop hiring Briles’ former assistants until more details emerge either from Baylor or are forced out as the lawsuits proceed.
