a bit from this article:

WACO, Texas -- Baylor coach Art Briles denied having any knowledge about the violent past of defensive end Sam Ukwuachu -- a claim then-Boise State coach Chris Petersen said later Friday wasn't true.

Ukwachu on Thursday was found guilty of sexual assault of a then-Baylor soccer player in 2013.

Briles said Friday that he spoke with Petersen personally in 2013 and was not informed of any prior violent incidents prior to accepting Ukwuachu's transfer to Baylor.

"No mention of anything beyond Sam being depressed and needing to come home," Briles said. "So that was our information. And that's what you go by."

Petersen, who is now the coach at Washington, issued a statement later Friday that said that just wasn't the case.

"After Sam Ukwuachu was dismissed from the Boise State football program and expressed an interest in transferring to Baylor, I initiated a call with coach Art Briles," Petersen's statement said. "In that conversation, I thoroughly apprised Coach Briles of the circumstances surrounding Sam's disciplinary record and dismissal."
