heat Kings 6-5 on Friday, and he now has four game-winning goals

A law firm hired by Baylor University to investigate the schools handling of sexual assault and violence cases involving athletes determined that 17 women since 2011 reported incidents of sexual and domestic violence involving 19 football players, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday afternoon. Four of the cases involved alleged gang rapes.In May, Philadelphia-based law firm Pepper Hamilton released a scathing report about Baylors handling of sexual assault allegations. That report led to the demotion and then resignation of former university president and chancellor Kenneth Starr; the firing of football coach Art Briles; the suspension and then resignation of athletic director Ian McCaw; and the firings of multiple athletic department employees.The Journal on Friday quoted Baylor regents who detailed some of the Pepper Hamilton findings for the first time. According to the regents, in at least one case, Briles knew about an alleged incident and didnt alert police, the schools judicial-affairs staff or the Title IX office in charge of coordinating the schools response to sexual violence.J. Cary Gray, a Dallas lawyer and member of the Baylor board of regents, told The Journal, There was a cultural issue there that was putting winning football games above everything else, including our values. ... We did not have a caring community when it came to these women who reported that they were assaulted. And that is not OK.The regents spoke to The Journal amid a backdrop of some influential Baylor donors and alumni wondering whether Briles might have been made the scapegoat for a larger sexual assault problem at the university. Such talk has taken hold in some Baylor corners because of the secrecy around the Pepper Hamilton report, which has never been made public.The Journal story detailed the events that led up to Briles firing: On May 24, two days before the firing, Briles addressed regents in a conference room. The regents said Briles broke down and wept when he was asked what he would have done differently. Many board members began to cry as well.He couldnt speak he was so upset, and all of us were, Gray told The Journal. Art said, I delegated down, and I know I shouldnt have. And I had a system where I was the last to know, and I should have been the first to know.Ernest Cannon, Briles attorney, told The Journal that Briles quoted Scripture and expressed his regrets over Baylors painful situation, but the former coach didnt admit to wrongdoing.The regents told The Journal their decision to fire Briles went beyond the schools requirements to police sexual assault on campuses. As he heard information, what did he do with it? From a moral standpoint, what is the right thing to do? Ron Murff, a Dallas businessman who is chairman of the board of regents, told The Journal.Baylors former Title IX coordinator, Patty Crawford, resigned this month and has sharply criticized university officials for what she says were efforts to prevent her from trying to handle a sexual assault problem that went beyond the football program.The Journal report said Baylor told the newspaper, Football players were involved in 10.4 percent of Title IX-reported incidents in the four-year period ending in 2014-15. Male athletes comprise 4 percent of the undergraduate male population at Baylor.Three Baylor football players have been indicted for sexual assault and crimes against women in the past four years. Former defensive end Shawn Oakman was indicted by a McLennan County grand jury on charges of second-degree felony sexual assault last month. Defensive ends Tevin Elliott and Sam Ukwuachu were convicted of sexual assault in 2014 and 2015, respectively.Outside the Lines obtained confidential letters and emails this week that indicate Baylors athletics department was aware of at least one incident of alleged sexual misconduct involving Elliott, but the department continued to allow him to play during the 2011 season.According to an email obtained by Outside the Lines, Baylors judicial affairs office gave Elliott a written notice of misconduct on Nov. 18, 2011, just seven weeks after a female community college student reported to Waco police that Elliott had trapped her in her room, held her against her will and touched her inappropriately, at one point poking a broom toward her vagina, during an alleged incident at her apartment on Sept. 28, 2011. Waco police cited Elliott with a misdemeanor for the incident.In the notice of misconduct letter sent to Elliott, Baylor judicial affairs coordinator David Murdock told him that you will have the opportunity to hear the evidence that has been brought to my attention, and you will have the opportunity to either admit or deny the charge of misconduct. If you admit the charge, I will set the sanction(s). If you deny the charge, a hearing will be required. Senior associate athletics director Paul Bradshaw was also copied on the email.Elliott played in Baylors 45-38 upset of No. 5 Oklahoma on Nov. 19, 2011, and in a 66-42 win over Texas Tech the next week, before missing the final two games that season for what the team called a knee injury.A document obtained by ESPN indicates that Baylor judicial affairs sanctioned Elliott on March 29, 2012, with disciplinary probation and a written warning for the November 2011 incident. The document also noted that judicial affairs became aware just days later, on April 3, 2012, of a female Baylor student having reported that Elliott had sexually assaulted her on March 27, 2012. Weeks later, Elliott was then accused of raping another Baylor female student at an off-campus party on April 15, 2012.The document also indicates that judicial affairs learned on May 2, 2012, that Elliott had actually been accused more than a year earlier -- March 19, 2011 -- of sexually assaulting a TCU student in a Waco night club. The incident had been reported to Waco police.Elliott was suspended from the team for an undisclosed violation of team rules on April 27, 2012, three days before he was arrested by police in Waco?for raping the woman at the off-campus party earlier that month. In January 2014, Elliott was sentenced to the maximum 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine on the two counts of sexual assault in 2012, according to a report from WacoTrib.com.Briles told ESPN in September that he takes responsibility for the football programs poor handling of sexual assault allegations involving players and that his heart certainly aches. However, he distanced himself from decisions made after some players had been accused of criminal activity.There were some bad things that happened under my watch, Briles said. And for that, Im sorry. ... I was wrong. Im sorry. Im going to learn. Im going to get better.He said he understood why the sexual assault victims would be upset with him.Id tell them Im extremely sorry. It just appalls me that somebody could victimize another human being. And theres no place in society for it. And Ive never condoned it and never will and never put up with it, he said. These players are part of our program and representatives of our program. And when they do wrong, then it reflects on me and the university. So I do feel responsibility.Also on Friday, two women were added to a federal Title IX lawsuit filed against Baylor on June 15, bringing the number of total plaintiffs in the case to 10. The women, who were identified as Jane Doe 9 and Jane Doe 10, allege the university failed to respond properly to their allegations of sexual assault.According to the amended complaint, Jane Doe 9 enrolled at Baylor in January 2014 and was awarded multiple academic scholarships. The woman says she was sexually assaulted by a Baylor student in November 2014. She reported the incident to the office of judicial affairs, but, according to the lawsuit, Judicial Affairs was not interested or concerned with the assault, but did take interest in the fact that students were drinking at the time and place of the assault.The lawsuit said judicial affairs officials failed to refer the woman to the universitys Title IX office or counseling services, and failed to take a written report, and to the best of Jane Doe 9s recollection, failed to even write down her name. Jane Doe 9 left the Judicial Affairs Office with only a lecture on drinking.The lawsuit alleges the stress and trauma of the assault caused the woman to develop shingles that left her with permanent scarring and unable to perform academically. According to the complaint, she lost her academic scholarships and was placed on academic suspension. The lawsuit said the woman suffered a breakdown during the holiday break in 2014 and is crippled by panic attacks when she sees her assailant on campus.The woman reported the incident to the Title IX office and police have started a criminal investigation into the alleged assault, according to the complaint.Jane Doe 10 enrolled at Baylor in August 2013 as a biochemistry major and had aspirations of going to medical school. According to the complaint, she was sexually assaulted by a friend in February 2016 and reported the incident to another friend and Waco police later that day. Baylor police and the Title IX office also were informed of the assault.The lawsuit alleges that the Title IX office conducted an investigation into the alleged assault, but did so in a way that substantially prejudiced Jane Doe 10 and in a manner that suggests the investigation was in name only with the outcome predetermined.The Title IX office failed to support Jane Doe 10 through its process and failed to sufficient action to provide Jane Doe 10 with a fair, impartial and informed investigation, the lawsuit alleges.Information from ESPNs Mark Schlabach was used in this report.

CHICAGO -- Chris Sales masterful performance was paired with a loss, again, a recurring conundrum that could prompt the struggling White Sox to trade the ace left-hander.Sale struck out 12 over eight innings, but it wasnt enough for Chicagos anemic offense in a 2-0 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Sunday that inched the White Sox closer to their fourth straight losing season.General manager Rick Hahn has said the club is mired in mediocrity and considering wholesale changes. A dominant 27-year-old pitcher with a team-friendly contract could produce a large haul of needed prospects.I dont worry about that stuff. Itll shake out on its own, Sale said. I wear this uniform with a lot of pride and I hope I can continue to do that.Sale made two mistakes. Kendrys Morales homered on Sales first pitch of the second, and Eric Hosmer did the same in the fourth.Honestly, I just try to get out of that box as quick as I can without getting embarrassed, Hosmer said.Sale (15-8) allowed eight hits while becoming the first White Sox pitcher with four consecutive 200-strikeout seasons. It was his third game of 10 or more strikeouts this season and No. 34 for his career.Sale also went over 200 innings for the second straight season.I think more than anything, its the innings, Sale said. I was told very early on when I got here 200 innings was the benchmark for a starting pitcher. When you go out there and fill up innings, all the other stuff is going to work out.But Sale, who has gone at least eight innings in five straight starts, has just one win since starting for the AL in the All-Star Game.If you only have two hits, your guy doesnt have a very good chance to win the game, manager Robin Ventura said.Ian Kennedy and three relievers combined on a two-hitter, and the Royals remained four games back of Baltimore for the second AL wild card.Kennedy (11-9) walked four, but Adam Eatons leadoff single was the only hit off the right-hander in six innings. He improved to 5-0 in his last six starts.Kennedy walked the bases loaded in the third with two out beforre Melky Cabrera flied to right.dddddddddddd Kennedy worked around another walk in the fifth when Tyler Saladino lined to the mound to start a double play.Peter Moylan and Kelvin Herrera each threw a perfect inning before Wade Davis made it interesting for a second straight day in the ninth.Davis allowed Eatons single and a walk. But he got Jose Abreu to line to right and struck out Justin Morneau with two on to earn his 24th save in the Royals fourth win in six games.Its hard to bunch offense against Chris Sale, Royals manager Ned Yost said. You have to hope you can get a pitch and not miss it. Thats what Mo did. Thats what Hos did and you just hope that your pitching matches.TRAINERS ROOMRoyals: Yost said OF Lorenzo Cain (sprained left wrist) will see a specialist and theyll decide in a week if hell be shut down for the season. Were just doing everything we can right now, Cain said. Hopefully, I can get back on the field. ... C Salvador Perez started a second straight game in his return from a wrist injury. Salvy is a different scenario, its just a bone contusion, Yost said.White Sox: Sale stayed in after taking a liner off his knee in the third. He recovered to throw out Paulo Orlando at first.MEMORIESThe 15-year anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks hit home for both managers. Ventura was playing for the Mets and Yost was with the Braves then. The teams faced off in the first game in New York after the attack.Both men brought up the significance of Mike Piazzas game-winning home run.People could cheer, people could hug each other and laugh and root for their team again, Ventura said.UP NEXTRoyals: Oakland comes to Kansas City for four games, with Royals RHP Dillon Gee (6-7, 4.34 ERA) facing LHP Ross Detwiler (1-3, 5.15 ERA) on Monday.White Sox: AL Central-leading Cleveland visits for four games starting Monday, with RHP Miguel Gonzalez (3-6, 3.81 ERA) facing RHP Carlos Carrasco (11-7, 3.15 ERA).
