Baylor football coach Art Briles embarrassed by aide violations

Baylor football coach Art Briles said Monday he was embarrassed to find out that one of his assistant coaches was on the sideline during an Oklahoma home game, the second potential NCAA rules violation by his staff to be disclosed in as many weeks. Briles (pictured) said he wasn’t aware beforehand that passing game coordinator Jeff Lebby, who is also his son-in-law, was going to be at the Sooners’ game against Tulsa. “If I had been aware, that situation would have never happened,” Briles said. “It’s embarrassing to me, quite honestly.” When he found out, Briles said he called Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops and apologized. Stoops alluded to an NCAA rule that prohibits off-campus, in-person scouting of future opponents. “That seems to be … a pretty fundamental rule. That’s not allowed, so I don’t know what he was doing here,” Stoops said. – AP
