DALLAS -- The former Title IX coordinator at Baylor University said Wednesday that top campus leaders undermined her efforts to investigate sexual assault claims and were more concerned with protecting the Baylor brand than the students.Patty Crawford told CBS This Morning that the university set her up to fail from the beginning. Crawford, who resigned Monday from her role enforcing the federal standards meant to prevent discrimination based on gender, said she received resistance from senior leadership but did not identify those leaders.Later Wednesday, Baylor officials announced that they had promoted Crawfords senior deputy, Kristan Tucker, as the universitys new Title IX coordinator.In her televised interview, Crawford said Baylor officials marginalized her by leaving her out of meetings, undermining her authority and making decisions that should be left to a Title IX coordinator. The treatment led her to file complaints with the university and U.S. Department of Educations office for civil rights. Charges that she was the victim of retaliation are included in those complaints.I never had the authority, the resources or the independence to do the job appropriately, she said.Baylor has received a storm of criticism over claims it mishandled sexual assault cases for several years. An outside review determined school administrators contributed to a hostile environment against assault victims. The scandal drew broad attention in large part because former football players were convicted of sexually assaulting women, and an independent review by the Philadelphia law firm Pepper Hamilton determined the football program operated as it if were above the rules. Coach Art Briles was fired earlier this year, as was the athletic director. President Ken Starr was removed from his post by regents and he later resigned as chancellor.Baylor said in a statement that Crawford went public with her grievances only after the school rejected a demand for $1 million and retention of book and film rights.Baylor University was surprised by the action taken by Patty Crawford given her public comments in August about the strong support she felt from across the University, the statement said.In August, Crawford talked with the Waco Tribune-Herald about her job and the changes Baylor was implementing. In that interview, she said, I would not have stayed at Baylor through this, something from before I was here, if I didnt know and be encouraged and understand that I still have authority and opportunities to build the best.Crawfords attorney, Rogge Dunn, who appeared with her on the network, said her federal complaint led to a mediation session with the university Monday and that Baylor has broken Texas law by revealing some aspects of the session. State law requires that mediation details remain confidential, with some limited exceptions.In a desperate attempt to smear Patty, what theyve done is violated Texas law, Dunn said.In later comments to The Associated Press, Dunn cited the law in declining to discuss the hearing, but said Crawford is not seeking financial compensation from Baylor and has no plans to seek a film or book deal.Lawyers for eight women who are suing Baylor for allegedly failing to act on their claims of being assaulted seized on Crawfords resignation and her failed mediation talks as a key reason to allow them to pursue documents and interviews for their case. Baylor previously asked a federal judge to halt evidence gathering while deciding if the lawsuit can proceed.There is no telling how many persons with information have been shackled by a confidentiality agreement accompanied with a large payment, lawyers for the women wrote in a court filing Wednesday.Dunn told AP that the number of sex assault complaints that were lodged since Crawford began as the Title IX coordinator in late 2014 increased by the hundreds. Awareness campaigns helped, he said, but students also came to learn that Crawfords office would listen to their allegations and follow up. Before Baylor hired a Title IX coordinator, charges of assault were lodged with different administrators and offices, and too often not taken seriously, Dunn said.Crawfords assertion that her office received hundreds of assault complaints during her time with Baylor, which began in November 2014, contrasts with the far lower number of crimes the university reported to the U.S. Department of Education.Schools must report sex assault complaints in which the university has determined that an offense occurred. Baylor did not report a single such instance of sexual assault from 2008 to 2011. Two cases were reported in 2012, six the following year and four in 2014.Baylor officials have previously declined to discuss the numbers, and a spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday.While much of the attention about assaults on campus has focused on football players, Crawford says the problem is broader, according to Dunn.She thinks the Baylor administration thought if they could make athletics the scapegoat then they could say, `OK, problem solved.He added, The problem was not solved by cleaning house with athletics.In a statement, the new Title IX coordinator said the offices priority under her management will be to educate and serve Baylor students, faculty, staff and supporters.The Title IX Offices focus is on our students and the entire Baylor community, ensuring that we provide the resources, support and assistance they need. It is vital that our systems support a fair and equitable Title IX process, Tucker said.Before joining Baylor, Tucker was the lead Title IX investigator at East Carolina University and a compliance officer with the University of Tennessee system.---Associated Press writers Jim Vertuno in Austin, Texas, and Terry Wallace in Dallas contributed to this report.---Follow David Warren on Twitter at https://twitter.com/WarrenJournoNickeil Alexander-Walker Pelicans Jersey .

Speaking to the Chicago Tribune at baseballs Winter Meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, Boras called the former home of the Expos a "tremendous environment" for baseball.It will be raining fillies. Good fillies, too. The best on both coasts, the stars of tomorrow, and the bedrock of the breed for years to come.At least, that is how this corner prefers to enjoy the twin tests at Saratoga and Del Mar on Saturday, when the Spinaway Stakes will be presented for the 125th time (not a typo) and the 66th running of the Del Mar Debutante will follow a few hours later.Do anything 124 times, and youre bound to get it right. The Spinaway has survived the ebb and flow of depression, recession, wartime racing, and a ban on the sport entirely. Most of the names have faded into the mists of memory, although any other race would kill for a history that included winners like Miss Woodford, Maskette, Top Flight, Cicada, Ruffian, Before Dawn, Meadow Star, Ashado, and Rachels Valentina, the daughter of Rachel Alexandra who provided the 2015 running with an emotional high.The Del Mar Debutante was conceived in 1951 and came of age with such early winners as Miss Todd, Darling June, and Admirably. Since the 1970s, the Debutante has been won by marquee fillies who went on to make an impact on the national stage, including Windys Daughter, Terlingua, Landaluce, Sardula, Sharp Cat, Halfbridled, and last years winner, Songbird.Both the Spinaway and Debutante are at seven furlongs, and the purses are similar. Likewise whats at stake. The early careers of 2-year-olds are compressed into a few desperately significant starts, and things get very serious in September as the Breeders Cup approaches.Four of the seven fillies in the Debutante were purchased last spring at 2-year-old sales, while two were bred by their owners, including American Cleopatra, American Pharoahs little sister.The seven in the Spinaway include fillies bought as yearlings for $825,000 (Pretty City Dancer), $750,000 (Sweet Loretta), and $450,000 (Cherry Lodge). The meter is running.Dennis Farkas purchased Fun from her breeder, Peter Blum, and so far, the daughter of Harlans Holiday, out of an Empire Maker mare, has made good on her name. Fun won a 5-1/2-furlong maiden race at Churchill Downs in June, then finished second to Sweet Loretta in the six-furlong Schuylerville Stakes at Saratoga.I dont think Im even at the right distance yet, said Funs trainer, Ian Wilkes. I think seven-eighths is still too short for her. When I get to a mile and a sixteenth, I think Ill be okay. But this is a nice progression for her.On the numbers, the Todd Pletcher-trained Cherry Lodge towers over her Spinaway opposition after a highly rated debut win Aug. 7. Wilkess tries to keep such early 2-year-old evaluations in perspective.ddddddddddddYou have to look at the numbers, Wilkes said. But youve got to know your trainers, too. Which ones have their horses at their very best for their first run? Are they going to get better after that?Fun has done nothing to discourage Wilkes since the Schuylerville.Shes always come along steady, the trainer said. But since that last race, shes trained better than Ive ever seen her train. Based on what Ive seen so far, I think shes well named.Out West, trainer Pete Eurton is anxious to see what Champagne Room can do in the Debutante against not only American Cleopatra but also the impressive maiden winners Morganite (by Gemologist) and Noted and Quoted (by The Factor).Champagne Room, a daughter of Broken Vow, finished second in a maiden race early in the Del Mar meet, then jumped right into the Sorrento Stakes three weeks later. Her 1-1/4-length win going 6-1/2 furlongs that day put her in a local class all her own.At 2, I dont really think they have an edge as a stakes winner at this time of year, Eurton noted. Theyre all very young, and therell be a lot of learning going on over the next months. Im glad Ive got the stakes win, but I think the 6-1/2 furlongs shes got under her belt is more important to me than anything.Champagne Room has been touting Eurton with fast works and precocious behavior since the Sorrento.Shes high as a Georgia pine right now, Eurton said. She gets excited like a young kid, but she doesnt sweat. Weve taken her to the paddock a lot, to the gate a lot. Its like shes really enjoying herself.Champagne Room is a big girl, topping 16-1 hands and very long to Eurtons eye. Similar to the pedigree of Fun, Champagne Rooms blood seems to cry out for a mile or more through her grandsires, Unbridled and Bernstein.I like to think of her as a 2-year-old version of Beholder, Eurton said. Not thats shes as good as Beholder. But that is our benchmark.The Del Mar Debutante was Eurtons first major win in 2011 with the Sunriver filly Weemissfrankie. She went on to take the Oak Leaf Stakes (now called the Chandelier) at Santa Anita and finish third to My Miss Aurelia in the Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies. Some of the same people who owned Weemissfrankie are in the Champagne Room partnership.Its those three Grade 1 races I have in my sights for her, Eurton said, so well take them one at a time, starting on Saturday.
