Baylor University's handling of high-profile sexual assault allegations has been under the microscope over the past year, and the Texas Rangers investigative agency has now opened a review of the school's response, according to ESPN.com's Max Olson and Mark Schlabach.

"The Texas Rangers are working with the local prosecutor to conduct a preliminary investigation to determine if further action is warranted," Texas Department of Public Safety press secretary Tom Vinegar said.

In the fall of 2015, Baylor hired Philadelphia-based law firm Pepper Hamilton LLP to conduct a comprehensive review of the school's response to sexual assault allegations.
