The ruling is the culmination of a five-year investigation undertaken by the NCAA following the eruption of the sexual assault scandal at the Christian university in Waco, Texas, in 2016.

The Lady Bears held off the Fighting Irish by a single point, 82-81, Sunday night to seal their third national title. The last time Baylor clinched the title was in 2012 against Notre Dame.

It's not the first time Baylor University football players have been accused of gang rape. The latest suit alleges that players gang-raped young women, and filmed it, as a hazing or bonding ritual.

In interviews with the Wall Street Journal, Baylor University regents said 17 women reported "sexual or domestic assaults involving 19 players, including four alleged gang rapes."
