A former Baylor University football official is dropping his libel suit against the university and Pepper Hamilton, but his claims may not be gone forever.
Lawyers for Colin Shillinglaw filed a notice of nonsuit last week in a Dallas state court, but they reportedly plan to take the claims to arbitration. Shillinglaw, who was Baylor’s director of football operations from 2008 to 2015, has alleged that he was defamed by reports that he failed to address allegations of sexual assault by university football players.
