| Recent Baylor Lawsuit Sheds Light on 'Hostess Clubs' |  | The most recent lawsuit filed against Baylor University in Waco, Texas, has brought to renewed attention to football programs' â??hostess clubs,â?? which involve women selected to greet prospective football players. Baylor has been facing a barrage of lawsuits accusing football players of sexual assaults.
