Baylor did this on their own. No one "forced them".
Nope. "Outside the Lines" and other media forced them.
The convictions of Tevin Elliot and Sam Okadjkdh;;jksbvsjdbvi forced them.
The lawsuits from the victims forced them.
The aborted firing of Ken Starr and subsequent push back and threats to release the entire report forced them.
Some of their own very vocal fanbase is currently blaming the "liberal media" for forcing the BOR into firing Briles.
Make no mistake - the Baylor BOR wanted to throw Starr and many others to the wolves instead of Briles but they couldn't make it work.
Art Briles was not the man they wanted to throw onto the dumpster fire that is the Baylor Athletic Department but they were left with no choice after the horrible blowback they were getting earlier this week after they floated the trial balloon about Starr taking the fall.

I think you over rate the power of the media. The only thing the Baylor BOR was worried about was liability.
There has been no mention, nor do I think there will be, of NCAA penalties. That is completely different from the Ohio State and Penn State situations in football, and Tennessee in basketball.
That would be the only definition of "forced" I'd be willing to accept.
