[QUOTE="FiveStar, post: 1255082, member: 603998"] I wrote something similar to this on the Carlton Bragg thread. You have to support the victims of these crimes until the accused are 100% cleared. They're underreported crimes because it is very hard for victims to muster up the courage to report them. They are also often accusing someone they know/love. Even if they players are innocent, the school still has to suspend them until all the details paint the final, not guilty picture. The school has to send a bigger overall message that 1) being linked to that behavior is not tolerable and 2) show victims that the school has their back. This will encourage any victims in the future to speak up and in theory make for a safer overall campus environment. It might also cause potential perpetrators to think before they act. The spotlight is on football because it's their players, but the issue is clearly bigger than football. [/QUOTE]
