Of course they knew, think of the university as a small town. Now everyone knows that in a small town, everyone knows everything that happens within hours.
It's human nature, people cannot keep secrets & also too many people knew for it to be kept secret.
That is part of why this is so horrifying, so many adults knew & covered up to save face for the university & their own butts & their own jobs! Nothing else mattered to them. Everyone involved in the cover-up should be arrested & tried for these crimes!
And, today, they will play their football game, like nothing else matters, like they've done for over 15 years now! Care about the victims? Victims that were raped for years because their football team mattered more to them than the victims!
They might as well drag out onto the field to hold above their heads a 100-yard bandaid to symbolically represent their approach to child pain and adult heartache in their "community."

You can’t imagine *how* horrifying it actually is unless you’re a kid it’s -really- happened to.
Can’t wait to see the cheerleaders!
wonder what the cheer will be today???? wonder if they will be cheering “ R—A—P—E !”
The season should be cancelled. If this was a money deal with players the team would be suspended...
“Game on!”...lets just have the tailgate parties and get those big donors into their special seats! Move along now, nothing to see here, so sorry.
The big donors should protest by announcing they aren’t coming to the game...the community should demand they shut it down...But nah, the games and money are more important.
