Former football coach Art Briles received $15.1 million from Baylor following his 2016 dismissal during a sexual assault scandal that engulfed his program and the university.

Former President Ken Starr got $4.52 million from the university as part of his departure. Then athletic director Ian McCaw, now the AD at Liberty University, received $761,059, essentially one year's salary, upon his resignation.

The dollar figures of the settlements surfaced in Baylor's 990 filing to the IRS, required annually of non-profit organizations, filed this week and obtained by The Dallas Morning News. The settlements had been subject to non-disclosure agreements. All settlement payments have already been made with the funds coming from Baylor's institutional reserves, according to a university official.

The Briles settlement figure will be the one that draws the most attention given the former coach's profile after leading Baylor to national prominence with consecutive Big 12 titles in 2013 and 2014. In the joint settlement statement issued by Briles and Baylor in June 2016, both sides acknowledged "serious shortcomings in the response to reports of sexual violence by some student-athletes, including deficiencies in university processes and the delegation of disciplinary responsibilities with the football program."

Briles has not landed a full-time coaching job since leaving Baylor. He briefly filed and then dropped a libel lawsuit against Baylor officials in 2017.

While substantial, Briles' settlement was less than half of the $39 million remaining on a 10-year contract he signed in 2013. The settlement, one month after Briles' removal as head coach, allowed Baylor to avoid a long and potentially messy lawsuit, similar to what Louisville is facing for firing basketball coach Rick Pitino.

Similarly, Starr's situation was complicated by the fact he held tenure in Baylor's law school and that he had originally moved to the chancellor position from president.

A school-commissioned investigation by the law firm Pepper Hamilton produced a 13-page "findings of fact" that football staff conducted inquiries into sexual assaults by players and did not report them to administration. School administrators also encouraged victims to not report complaints, the report indicated.

"Leadership challenges and communications issues hindered enforcement of rules and policies, and created a cultural perception that football was above the rules," the report stated.

Later, school regents said 17 women had reported sexual and domestic assaults involving 19 players - including four gang rapes - since 2011. One lawsuit, since settled, alleged 52 acts of rape by 31 players between 2011 and 2014.

The school addressed the legal settlements in a statement, referencing the completion of 105 recommendations by Pepper Hamilton.

"Baylor stands by the unprecedented corrective actions the Board of Regents made in May of 2016, which included leadership changes within the University administration and athletic department and the acceptance of 105 recommendations to improve our processes, communication, training and response related to incidents of sexual violence within our campus community," the statement read in part.

In the two years following, Baylor has hired its first woman president (Linda Livingstone), a new athletic director (Mack Rhoades) and a new football coach (Matt Rhule) as part of sweeping personnel changes.

Baylor's accrediting body, SACSCOC, put the university on warning status in December 2016. But after a comprehensive on-site review in the summer, the warning sanction was removed in December 2017.

The disclosure of the Briles, Starr and McCaw settlements does close one chapter in the scandal and its aftermath.

At the same time, the Big 12, the NCAA, the Office of Civil Rights and the Texas Rangers are continuing to look into various aspects of what occurred at Baylor.

The school is also the subject of five active victim lawsuits related to campus-wide sexual assault issues. Some of the court dates on the lawsuits extend into 2019.

After seeing player transfers and recruiting take a hit in two classes, Baylor is trying rebuild in Rhule's second year from a 1-11 season. While Rhule has preached accountability and respect toward women -- including a consent workshop for the team and guest national speaker Rachel Joy Baribeau -- three players were suspended from the team this month, reportedly because of sexual assault allegations involving members of the equestrian team.
