Baylor University President Ken Starr is proposing an independent investigation of the athletic department's handling of the sexual assault complaint against defensive end Sam Ukwuachu.

Starr proposed the hiring of outside counsel after reviewing the results of the internal inquiry of sexual assault case, for which Ukwuachu was convicted and sentenced to six months in jail and 10 years of probation.

In a university statement Friday, Starr also proposes creating a new position at the athletic department to monitor the behavior of the university athletes and report directly to Starr, not the athletic department.

Starr says the officer would ensure Baylor athletes "maintain the high level of personal ethics and integrity" that Baylor and its followers demand.

  1. Yes we need to clean up these universities! I’m tired of all these football players getting in trouble! I love football but enough is enough! Just because you are talented does not mean you should get favors when u get in trouble! Everyone should be treated equal! We need parents and families to be strong examples of how to live! We desperately need God fearing parents to lead the way! Let’s get back to God young people and treat women right!
