[TexasTowelie]

MOSCOW, Idaho (AP) — An independent investigation has found that insufficient education and understanding of policies contributed to the University of Idaho's botched handling of a woman's sexual assault complaint against a football player.

3. I'm no longer surprised by news items of this sort.

Haven't been for many years. I've heard it again and again. It just goes on and on and no doubt will continue to go on and on and on. Why? Because too many sports fans simply don't care. Pity any rape victim who "gets in the way" of a high school's or university's football program (not to mention other sports).
