AUSTIN, Texas -- Former Baylor football coach Art Briles sued three school regents and a vice president for libel and slander Thursday, accusing them of falsely stating he knew of reported assaults and alleged gang rapes by players and didnt report them.The lawsuit also asserts that Baylor officials conspired to damage his reputation and keep him from getting another coaching job. The lawsuit additionally seeks damages for emotional distress and likely ending his career as a coach on any level.Some people think themselves above the law, but the laws of Texas establish accountability for everyone, even renegade, self-dealing regents of a Christian university, Briles lawsuit states.The lawsuit was filed in Llano County in central Texas. It names Baylor regents Chairman Ronald Murff, board members J. Cary Gray and David Harper, and Baylor Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Reagan Ramsower.Briles attorney, Ernest Cannon, and Baylor officials didnt immediately respond to a request for comment from ESPN.Id like to hear these regents and Mr. Ramsower tell their story under oath in broad daylight and open court, Cannon told The Associated Press.Briles was fired last May after an investigation determined Baylor mishandled reports of alleged sexual and physical assaults, some by football players.?The lawsuit accuses the regents and Ramsower of spreading false information through media interviews with Texas and national outlets on the advice of a recently hired media relations firm, G.F. Bunting + Co., which was not named as a defendant.Regents first told The Wall Street Journal in October that 17 women had reported domestic violence or sexual assaults that involved 19 football players since 2011, including four gang rapes.Those figures had never been disclosed to Briles when he was fired or during his settlement after he sued for wrongful termination, according to Briles lawsuit.Briles argues that releasing those figures was intended to falsely portray him as hiding knowledge of alleged attacks. Allegations that he knew about and failed to report the alleged attacks are false and were created to expose Coach Briles to public hatred, contempt, ridicule and cause him financial injury, the lawsuit says.The allegations have prevented Briles, who had built Baylor into a Big 12 and national power, from getting another coaching job, the lawsuit states.These defendants have been relentless in their false attacks upon Coach Briles in the media despite his repeated requests they cease and retract their onslaught of untruths, the lawsuit said.Briles name has been rumored for several jobs, but he has not received an offer. Earlier this week, his name surfaced as a candidate for the vacancy at Houston, but school officials there put out a statement that he would not be interviewed.Briles lawsuit is the latest development in a scandal that has rocked the nations largest Baptist university.An investigation by the law firm Pepper Hamilton earlier this year found that the school mishandled assault claims for years. Briles was fired, school president Ken Starr was demoted and eventually left, and athletic director Ian McCaw resigned. McCaw was recently hired as AD at Liberty University in Virginia.The school is facing several federal lawsuits by women who say the university ignored or tried to suppress its claims of sexual and physical assault.Several of Baylors most prominent financial donors, including Drayton McLane and John Eddie Williams, whose names adorn Baylors new $266 million football stadium and field, respectively, have questioned the integrity of the Pepper Hamilton report and the actions of the board of regents. McLane has said he wants to see Briles honor restored.The Briles lawsuit notes the Pepper Hamilton report said the university failed to set up proper investigation procedures. Regents are now trying to hide their failures by scapegoating Briles, the lawsuit says.By their actions, the [Baylor officials] are allowing the alleged rapists and assaulters to walk free, thereby confirming that they are more interested in ruining Coach Briles name, reputation and career than they are bringing criminals to justice, the lawsuit says.Information from ESPNs Mark Schlabach and The Associated Press was used in this report.

Pregame nerves are a thing in all sports, but football might give players more jitters than normal.Some coaches deal with that by giving their players fiery pregame speeches. Others go more low-key and try to calm everyone down.Coach Jermaine Cooper of the West Beaumont (Texas) Bulldogs pee wee football team has a sligghtly different approach -- a dance which looks to come from the Omega Psi Phi fraternity.ddddddddddddBig props to coach Cooper for introducing the kids to the magic that is George Clinton.
