WACO, Texas (AP) Former Baylor coach Art Briles tells a Waco, Texas, television station that the report on the handling of sexual assault allegations commissioned by the school has not been shared with him and that it he assumes it supports a conclusion already drawn by the board of regents.

KWTX-News 10 posted the statement on its website Thursday. It is the first time Briles has spoken out since being ousted by the board last week. The board moved to terminate Briles after eight years as coach of the Bears. The report commissioned by the law firm Pepper Hamilton stated school leadership, including Briles and his staff, inappropriately handled allegations of sexual violence made by students, some against football players.

Briles added, ''I have certainly made mistakes, and, in hindsight, I would have done certain things differently.''
