The Associated Press is reporting that Baylor is officially under NCAA investigation for the sexual assault scandal that led to the firing of football coach Art Briles. A lawyer for the school confirmed the news via a federal court filing in which Baylor sought to protect the school’s communications with the NCAA from attorneys for several women who have sued the school.

In May, ESPN had reported that the NCAA had conducted interviews with Baylor officials, former employees and alleged victims. At the time, the school hadn’t been given a formal notice of investigation.

More than a dozen women have filed lawsuits against Baylor alleging the school mishandled or ignored their rape claims against football players and other students. In the latest court filing, the school is seeking to avoid providing documents and records from the NCAA investigation to the plaintiffs suing the school. Baylor’s lawyers argued providing communications with the NCAA, including requested documents, to the plaintiffs’ attorneys could compromise the investigation. The school acknowledged that some specific requests from plaintiffs’ attorneys could be met.

The school also said that sharing information with plaintiffs’ attorneys could compromise a probe McClennan County district attorney and the Texas Rangers. Baylor hired Philadelphia law firm Pepper Hamilton to conduct its own investigation and has anticipated lawsuits and the NCAA investigation since Pepper Hamilton concluded its investigation. Briles was fired in May 2016.
