🏈 NY Times drops a bomb on F$U

[252BAMA]

Tallahassee, Fla. — Early on the morning of Dec. 7, 2012, a freshman at Florida State University reported that she had been raped by a stranger somewhere off campus after a night of drinking at a popular Tallahassee bar called Potbelly’s.

OOC takes on a new meaning.

Out Of Court...as in the settlement that's coming.

Not surprising. If a university will cover up child molestation then universities will surely do the same with rape.

Makes you wonder how many rape cases (or any criminal cases) involving athletes go unreported at schools because the victims know they have no shot at a fair trial and will be accused of lying anyway .. Or in some cases, forced to leave town (happened at my high school), or bullied, or worse.

I'm glad the NYT hasn't let this one go. And I wish the sportswriting illuminati would get on this instead of paying players.

With you there. I know it is a pressing issue to some, but I don't need an alert/breaking story about the union stuff every day, when any real decision won't be made for ages.

FSU Response: http://fsunytimes.fsu.edu/

"The Times has done its readers, as well as the FSU community, a disservice by omitting these answers and by seriously misrepresenting the university's concern and care for its students who are victims of sexual assault."

I think this article had some vindictive aims which led to an incomplete job. I don't mind the university firing back.
