Wow. I don't know what to think. Like how the school responded to suspend. If I were a coach now I would immediately implement the "buddy" system. No one goes out in public without a friend to keep you out of trouble or to be a witness to false allegation (if applicable). It seems as if the CFB world is taking notice and acting appropriately except for the clowns. In that case they should call a response to suspend a player the "Winston Effect". Namely to do the right thing since the clowns did not.

Not that I don't think Treon shouldn't be suspended, but this guy has actually been charged. So, it is a little different than our situation.

I agree. Every player should only go out with a buddy.

If you are a young man, these days, you better have a Notary follow you around with Sexual Consent forms ready to be signed and notarized!

I blame Ray Rice.

Problem is, these are college football players. They're gonna get laid. That's just the way it is. Should they implement the "buddy system" in their sexual encounters too?

That is what Rapist Wilson did and it worked out for him.

I wouldn't quite take it that far. But having someone there can lend some credibility or accountability to the situation.

worked great for him, not so much for the other two guys.

 

[BMF]

Damn! I want him available for UK against UGA....

 

[t-gator]

Sounds like he should go underground with his aunt Harriet

Maybe it's a sign that Kentucky is moving out of the bottom dwelling status they have held for so long. I don't think that is true, though, I think even Vandy has had some serious problems in recent years. It does seem like there have been a slew of incidents involving sexual improprieties have been happening recently. Miami kicked off two players, not suspended, when they were arrested earlier this year for sexual battery. They allegedly confessed, so kicking them out of school was the right thing to do. I guess it's a sign of the times. Winston shouting out a vulgar expression that is a popular meme is an example of what is accepted now. The only reason he was suspended was because of who he is, but what he actually did would not even raise an eyebrow among young people today. After who do you think made the meme popular in the first place? I think a good rule of thumb is don't say something or do something that you wouldn't say or do in front of your mother.

I really don't get why these guys have to rape chicks. There's so much free poon that gets thrown at Division 1 football players. Some guys just ain't right in the head.

agreed. But some of it may stem from a sense of big man on campus entitlement alot of them also may possess.

According to the arrest warrant obtained by The Associated Press, the woman called campus police Thursday following the incident involving Tubman, who she described as her ex-boyfriend. The AP does not identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault.
Tubman called the woman around midday Thursday and asked to talk with her in her room. She initially refused, but signed him in as a guest after he told her he was in the lobby, the warrant said.
The warrant states that the woman began typing a paper on a bed opposite Tubman, who kept knocking a shoe off her foot with a water bottle. When she went to pick it up, Tubman pressed against her from behind.
The woman told Tubman they weren't going to have sex and returned to a roommate's bed. She later looked up to find Tubman naked. As she picked up his clothes and repeated that they weren't going to have sex, Tubman threw her on her bed and tried to undress her, the warrant said.
After resisting and threatening to scream if he didn't stop, Tubman tried to cover the woman's mouth with his hand and she bit him between the thumb and index finger. Tubman responded by biting her on the right shoulder blade, leaving a mark, the warrant said.
Tubman then forced the woman face-down on her bed and the rape occurred, the warrant said. She freed herself and ran to a closet but Tubman said he wasn't done; scared, she ran to the other side of the room, and fell, the warrant stated.
The warrant states that Tubman laughed, and then said, "I'm done playin' wit you."
The woman told Tubman she had a class as an excuse to get him to leave. She signed Tubman out and security cameras show no interaction between the two, the warrant said.
The woman then called campus police, who collected physical evidence including clothing and towels. The woman was treated at UK Hospital's emergency room.
Stoops said after Tuesday's practice that the situation is "a major concern" and added, "We just feel for all parties involved and we'll let the legal process go through its course."
