The Big 12 is asking Baylor for a “full accounting” of the investigation into how sexual assault allegations were handled at the school, including information that hasn’t been released publicly.

The conference says Commissioner Bob Bowlsby sent a letter to Baylor interim President David Garland “once again” requesting all documents associated the investigations. The Big 12 is requesting written materials as well as any information that has been conveyed orally to Baylor leadership and its board of regents.

An investigation by the law firm Pepper Hamilton, commissioned by Baylor, led to the firing of football coach Art Briles, the demotion of President Kenneth Starr to chancellor and sanctions for athletic director Ian McCaw. Starr and McCaw have both since resigned.
