Statement from Ian McCaw Regarding Article about Claims by Patty Crawford that AD Sought Immunity for Football Players

November 2, 2016

"Ms. Crawford's statements about me in the ESPN story are false. In February 2015, she asked for my assistance in arranging an interview with a student-athlete regarding an incident involving his teammates. I asked whether the student-athlete was at-risk or whether he would be provided any type of immunity. A member of the General Counsel’s office responded by indicating that the student-athlete would not be offered immunity. I subsequently assisted in arranging the interview." – Ian McCaw, former Baylor University athletic director
