AUSTIN, Texas -- Former Baylor University President Ken Starr resigned his post as a law school professor Friday, severing his last tie with the faith-based campus still reeling from a sexual assault scandal involving its football team.Starr, an ex-prosecutor best known nationally for zealously pursuing charges against former U.S. President Bill Clinton in a 1990s White House sex scandal, had in more recent years been a high-profile face of Baylor. But he lost his job as president in May and later stepped down as chancellor amid allegations the school in the central Texas city of Waco mishandled several cases in which football players were accused of attacking women.Successful football coach Art Briles also was ousted.Baylor, the nations largest Baptist university, said in a joint statement issued with Starr that he will be leaving his faculty status and tenure with the law school in a separation that was mutually agreed upon. It was Starrs final remaining Baylor positon.Baylor wishes Judge Ken Starr well in his future endeavors, the statement said. Judge Starr expresses his thanks to the Baylor family for the opportunity to serve as president and chancellor and is grateful for his time with the exceptional students of Baylor University who will lead and serve around the world.Last year, Starr ordered an investigation by the Pepper Hamilton law firm to review Baylors handling of sexual assault cases after months in which he stayed mostly silent on the issue. Starr took over as the universitys president in 2010, about a decade after he investigated Clintons sexual relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.Starrs demotion from all but the law school professorship followed the law firms scathing 13-page summary report that found Baylor, under Starrs leadership, did little to respond to accusations of sexual assault involving football players.Investigators said football coaches and athletics administrators at the school had run their own improper investigations into rape claims and that, in some cases, they chose not to report such allegations to an administrator outside of athletics.By mounting their own untrained investigations and meeting directly with a complainant, football staff improperly discredited complainants claims and denied them a right to a fair, impartial and informed investigation.Investigators also found that Baylor was too slow to enact federally required student-conduct processes, and that administrators failed to identify and eliminate a potential hostile environment for victims.The football team nonetheless enjoyed unprecedented success recently, including two Big 12 championships in the last three years. In 2014, Baylor opened a new, $250 million on-campus football stadium.Starr had been a high-profile fan and often ran on the football field with Baylor students in pregame ceremonies. But as sexual assault investigations began, Starr provided only brief comments -- even as criticism began to intensify. Cheap Air Max 95 Australia .

NEW YORK -- There was a bit of role reversal going on at Yankee Stadium Friday afternoon, when the small-market Cleveland Indians held a press conference for the player (left-handed pitcher Andrew Miller) theyd acquired from the biggest market team of all, the New York Yankees, five days earlier.After Friday night, the Yankees are hoping the role reversals last a couple more days.The rebuilding Yankees host the American League Central-leading Indians in the second game of a three-game series Saturday afternoon. New York never trailed in winning Friday nights opener, 13-7.While the final score suggested a back-and-forth slugfest, the Yankees ability to jump out to insurmountable leads -- they led 6-0 in the third and 11-4 after the seventh -- against a doubly dangerous Indians team had manager Joe Girardi pleased.When you talk about Cleveland, everyone talks about how well their pitching has been this year, Girardi said. But going into tonight they were second in the league in runs. You dont hear as much about their offense, but its really good.The Indians offense hasnt been nearly good enough to cover up for the sudden struggles of their pitching staff, which was seemingly bolstered by the acquisition of Miller in exchange for four prospects on Sunday.Cleveland has been outscored 50-32 in the last five games, during which it has gone 1-4 while its starters have allowed a whopping 30 runs in just 17 1/3 innings. The skid has raised the Indians ERA nearly three-tenths of a run --- from 3.dddddddddddd.59 to 3.88 -- and dropped them from first in the AL in ERA to third.Its still a tough pill to swallow whenever the offense is clicking like theyre clicking and were not doing the job were supposed to be doing, said right-hander Josh Tomlin, who became the latest culprit Friday by giving up seven runs over 4 2/3 innings -- the longest start by an Indians pitcher during the slump.The last pitcher to produce a strong start will take the mound for the Indians on Saturday, when right-hander Corey Kluber opposes Yankees left-hander CC Sabathia in a matchup of pitchers who won the American League Cy Young Award while playing for Cleveland.Kluber, who won the Cy Young in 2014, earned the win Sunday, when he threw seven shutout innings in an 8-0 victory over the Oakland Athletics. He has allowed one run or fewer in three of his last four starts, a stretch in which hes lowered his ERA from 3.79 to a season-low 3.27.Sabathia, the 2007 Cy Young Award winner, will be trying to snap out of a lengthy slump. A late comeback by the Yankees spared Sabathia the loss on Monday, when he gave up five runs over 5 2/3 innings in a 6-5, 10-inning win over the New York Mets. Sabathia has failed to author a quality start in seven of his last eight outings, a stretch in which hes gone 1-4 with a 6.85 ERA as his overall ERA has increased from 2.20 to 4.15. ' ' '
