There is an interesting article on the Gang of 88 in the Weekly Standard entitled "Duke's Tenured Vigilantes." It is at this link:

http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/013/190uejex.asp?pg=1

It starts with a summary of the case that has some small errors in it, in my view. But the meat of the article is the on the second page where she take apart the Gang of 88 and member of the press quote by quote and metanarrative by metanarrative.

Paul Haagen, a Duke sports-law professor, stating that athletes who participated in "helmet sports" such as football, hockey, and lacrosse ("sports of violence" was Haagen's other term) were highly prone to violence against women.

What's interesting is how wrong this is. I am a big guy, and big guys learn early about inapproprate use of force.
