Robinson said he doesn’t favor releasing any more of the findings from the Pepper Hamilton report, but he said regents responded reasonably to what they learned.

“At some point, someone is going to have to have confidence that all these people are doing the right thing,” he said.

He said Baylor will set “the gold standard for how universities should treat sexual violence on campus.”

Quick recovery

“I think Baylor University will recover from this much quicker than people think, because we have committed ourselves to a great athletic program, and we will continue to commit ourselves to a great athletic program,” Robinson said. “Because of that, we will be able to attract the very best coaching staff and athletic director. This too will pass.”

Robinson said he attended a banquet hosted by the Baylor Line Foundation — formerly the Baylor Alumni Association — last Saturday in honor of the three Baylor Line Foundation members joining the board of regents. The alumni association has had years of conflict with administration and the regents, and Robinson said he went to the event “with some trepidation.” He said he left with renewed faith in Baylor.

“I love that the alumni association has been put back together with Baylor, and that they’re very happy with Baylor. . . . The alumni association is back, we’re all a happy family, and we’re going to go forward gracefully after the Briles era,” he said.
