In light of the issues at Baylor:
Don McPherson, a College Football Hall of Fame quarterback at Syracuse, has prominently spoken out for three decades about sexual and domestic violence. He has warned coaches for several years that they are becoming more accountable over who they bring to campus because of Title IX requirements related to investigating sexual violence and harassment.
Or to put it another way from McPherson: “If coaches don’t wake up, you’re going to find more coaches just like Art Briles. The whole notion of second chances as Nick Saban tried to say — and I like Nick a lot and believe he cares — but all of these guys have these savior complexes. They think they can give a player a second chance and help him out and that’s going to be a bigger risk in this environment.”
Tennessee faces its own problems. Eight women are suing the university in a Title IX lawsuit in which they claim the athletics department created a hostile environment and favored athletes, particularly football, in its investigations of sexual assaults and student judiciary process.
I just saw this travesty:
A former varsity swim team member at Stanford University convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman in January 2015 has been sentenced to six months in county jail, three years’ probation, and will be required to register as a sex offender,
