Before Week 10's game against the TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday, Baylor fans lined up outside McLane Stadium to purchase shirts in support of former head coach Art Briles.

The school suspended Briles in May with the intent to terminate after an independent investigation from law firm Pepper Hamilton found the university mishandled sexual assault allegations. An Outside the Lines investigation also detailed the program's failure to address allegations of misconduct in a timely manner.

On Oct. 29, Baylor regents released new information. According to Brad Reagan of the Wall Street Journal, the regents said Briles "knew about an alleged incident and didn’t alert police, the school’s judicial-affairs staff or the Title IX office in charge of coordinating the school’s response to sexual violence." Per one regent, the outside probe by Pepper Hamilton uncovered a "horrifying and painful" pattern of unreported assaults.

Prior to the game, wide receiver Chris Platt posted a no-longer-available tweet that seemed to be about wearing all-black uniforms to protest Briles' dismissal, per ESPN's Brett McMurphy:

 He later explained the post:

Ryan Osborne of the Forth-Worth Star Telegram tweeted a picture of people lining up to buy shirts, which read "#CAB" in reference to Briles:

KCEN's Jessica Morrey also spotted a "CAB" banner hanging from a suite:

The allegations against Briles are severe, but it appears some Baylor fans still wish to express their support for their football team's former coach.
