Due process has been short-changed. It seems that the punishment came first. I am tired of the way college sports figures are coddled in general. I would not mind if they abolished college sports in favor of intramurals, but that will never happen.

Due process has been short-changed. And unfairly applied. When was the last time a college football or basketball season was canceled because some of the players were charged with rape.

Even if rape accusations are false (which looks likely at this point), they deserve to be punished for their crass behavior, i.e. hiring strippers, drunkenness, etc. They were not acting like gentlemen. I agree, the university's punishment is excessive, but some punishment is definitely warranted.
