Report: Ex-Baylor president Ken Starr could join Trump administration

SNIP..........

Former Baylor president Ken Starr has a job waiting for him in the state department, according to a report by Foreign Policy magazine.

Starr is reportedly on the shortlist for the position of ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom. The post is tasked with the promotion of religious freedoms around the world.

Starr lost his job at Baylor in the fallout of a widespread sexual assault scandal involving the football program, with 31 players allegedly committing at least 52 acts of rape.

Starr is a former judge and known as a conservative Christian. He remains best known for investigating the sexual activities of president Bill Clinton in the 1990s.

The Big 12 is withholding 25% of the money due to Baylor because of the School's lack of oversight of the football program while Starr was its President. The money is a part of the Conference revenue sharing plan from TV and Bowl game payouts.
