TAPES REVEAL EX-BAYLOR COACH TOLD PLAYERS TO LIE ABOUT DENNEHY

Former Baylor University basketball coach Dave Bliss tried to cover up allegations of NCAA violations by telling assistant coaches and players to lie to investigators and say a slain player had been dealing drugs to pay for school, secretly recorded audiotapes reveal.

The recordings of Bliss were made by an assistant coach, who turned them over to Baylor and NCAA investigators on Friday.

"The tapes reveal a desperate man trying to figure out how to cover himself and to cover up" NCAA violations, said Kirk Watson, counsel for Baylor's in-house investigations committee.
