Ex-Baylor president reportedly bent the rules to help re-instate a player

Starr resigned after the sexual assault scandal.

It's no secret Art Briles' tenure at Baylor involved several cover-ups and scandals, but apparently former president Ken Starr was also involved in shady activity.

According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, Starr reinstated former player Tevin Elliott in 2011 after he was suspended by academic misconduct. Elliott is now serving a prison sentence after he was found guilty for raping several Baylor students in 2014.

Briles praised Starr's decision to reinstate Elliott, but other administrators were reportedly not as enthusiastic about the decision.

From the Wall Street Journal:

"Starr's ruling was made over the objections of other administrators. The disagreement is indicative of deeper tensions that simmered between him and other Baylor officials long before the sexual-assault scandal that roiled the country's largest Baptist university and sent one of the nation's top college-football programs into free fall."

Briles and Starr both lost their jobs for how they handled a plethora of issues, and this was just another case of them both enabling Baylor players.
