1. And this is a surprise?

A big time football program. Set to play in the national championship game for the first time in a LONG time, and alumni and state officials protect the quarterback. Welcome to collegiate sports in 2013.

It s wrong as rain, it is indefensible but it is reality. Look at Penn State for crying out loud! I told my husband they would sweep this under the rug and they did. And tomorrow night he will be given a heisman trophy for his good character.

Women on a campus like Florida State have no voice against the gladiators. I love College football but not when they protect rapists and child abusers. Until alumni and big donors call these schools out for this type of thing it will continue.

I used to tell my female students to avoid places where athletes hungout for their own safety. Not all of tem but a lot of them feel entitled to whatever they want, they have been worshipped and protected theirwhole lives.
