Long, detailed, brutal article.

Meanwhile UF wastes no time suspending Treon Harris, although we sure could use him.

I remember a Texas cheerleader who said she was raped by a football player and was punished for not cheering for him.

FSU doesn’t have anything on auburn.

I remember that OJ Simpson raped a coed at USC, and USC paid her $69K to not press charges, while OJ was in his Heisman year.

Next thing you know they’ll be screwing young boys in the shower and having the head coach cover it up.

What about Ohio State? I used to tease an grad friend that Ohio State players were on a work release program so the university could field a team.

The local teams have black marks against them.
NC State had a premier basketball player that could barely write, scored 400 on the SAT, got caught stealing and was finally let go. That was back in the Valvano era.
UNC is embroiled in controversy right now over a Black Studies course that was instituted to give passing grades to athletes. And has been for years. A tutor writing papers for same.

The only program I support is Duke.
AFAIK they still have scholastic standards for athletics.
Please no one burst my bubble.

Absolutely brutal. Other sources picked up on this article and added more details

The New York Times reviewed: the internal records of the FSU police department, including internal emails; communications between the FSU police and the Tallahassee Police Department; communications between the FSU police department and FSU's administration and the FSU athletic department; and dates that events happened or didn't happen. The New York Times also conducted interviews.

A small taste of what we are told:p>

• The police investigation did not stop because the victim said she didn't want to pursue the case or that she wanted the investigation to stop. The police chose to close the investigation. They did so without notifying the victim or the victim's attorney. Both the victim and the victim's attorney continued to call the police after the police had closed the investigation, because they didn't know the investigation had been closed and the victim wanted to pursue the matter.

• The victim was drunk at the time of the alleged sexual assault. The blood test showing a .048 blood alcohol level was taken hours after the incident. Willie Meggs, the State Attorney who announced Winston would not be charged, says the victim's blood alcohol level at the time of the alleged assault would have been .10. When you hit .08 in Florida, you're legally drunk.

• Four months before the alleged sexual assault, another FSU co-ed had accused Winston of sexual assault. That co-ed was not raped, but the details of how Winston held down his victim and roughly handled his victim were almost but not exactly, the same as the victim claimed about Winston's alleged sexual assault of her.

• The FSU police gave a copy of the police records to Winston's attorney days before they provided the records to State Attorney Meggs. Meggs said that compromised his case against Winston.

• When a Tampa reporter called the Tallahassee police and requested documents regarding the alleged incidents, all hell broke loose. The Tallahassee police immediately notified the FSU police and sent their case files to the FSU police. The chief of FSU police started a background check on the reporter. E-mails flew between the FSU police, FSU administration, and the FSU athletic department. Jimbo Fisher was told of the request. By the next morning, the FSU athletic department is emailing FSU administration with details about the reporter's background.

  And so much more.

At Florida State, the football players do not even know they have to pay for their lobster tails or shoes.
