Gabrielle Lyons was asking for $750,000 from the university in a lawsuit she filed in 2017. U.S. District Judge Robert Pittman said that her allegations were troubling but that she failed to prove them, the Waco Tribune-Herald reported Wednesday.

Lyons had claimed Baylor tried to minimize instances of sexual harassment and assaults to "protect the 'Baylor brand,'" according to the newspaper.

Lyons resigned from Baylor in 2015 after spending seven months on the job. She said the university made it difficult for her to pursue sexual assault allegations against Baylor football players.

After she resigned, Lyons said Baylor failed to implement Title IX — a federal law that calls for gender equity in education and requires universities to promptly respond to sexual violence on campus — during her time there, creating a discriminatory and hostile environment for female employees and students.

Lyons' allegations, first reported by ESPN's Outside the Lines, echoed concerns outlined by her former boss, Patty Crawford, who resigned as Baylor's first Title IX coordinator in 2016.

Lyons can file a new claim against the university if she gets permission from the judge, the Tribune-Herald reported.
