[QUOTE="HurdyGurdyEer, post: 129575395, member: 1746848"] No one is gushing over Ken Starr. The fact remains that HE is the one who instigated the process of outside investigators. No matter what his future may hold, with or without Baylor, the man did the right thing. We can argue that he should have done something sooner. But that would still reinforce the fact that eventually HE was the one who took the bull by the horns in order to unravel the mess. And I suspect that he did so knowing that the investigation would have ramifications for himself. His post-investigation comments seem to indicate he knew all along that he wouldn't go untouched. Currently, in addition to serving as chancellor, he remains as professor of constitutional law in Baylor's law school (he may hold a chair in the law school) and he is on the board of trustees for Baylor's school of medicine. I strongly suspect that if he does not continue connections with Baylor it will be his own decision. Again .... no gushing here ..... I just think that sometimes in the feeding frenzy that often follows stories like this only the absolute worst aspects of people get trumpeted. He messed up by allowing the football program to go too far in issuing "second chances" with high risk players. And then he did the right thing. [/QUOTE]
