In a statement the players said they have had enough and will boycott the bowl game. They ask that the bowl game be patient and give them time to work out the situation.
 
Once again I think it must be repeated, TRACY CLAEYS IS A GOOD COACH. He is a leader of men who is turning these kids into great people. Tracy Clays is an inspiration in this year that has been so hard in college football.
 
No more Dilly Bars.

What have they "had enough of"? Their teammates assaulting people?

Good luck in the bowl game Tracy.
 
This is what is confusing to me:

One investigator watched a video Djam took of the incident.

"She appears lucid, alert, somewhat playful, and fully conscious; she does not appear to be objecting to anything at this time. ... (She) sounds as though she is somewhat intoxicated, but is not slurring her words and is certainly conscious and aware of what is going on," he wrote. "She does not appear to be upset by the sexual activity and does not indicate that she wants it to stop ... and the sexual contact appears entirely consensual."

Inmates running the asylum. Snowflake generation part II. I WANT MY WAY OR ELSE!!!

I'd love to see the Holiday Bowl just pull the invite and fill in with another school. EDIT: and the Big Ten should pull s portion of their bowl revenue share, as they'd be costing the conference members $.

Gopher sports is always a train wreck waiting to happen.

Apparently, the video shows that it was completely consensual and that is why no charges were filed.

I guess the video shows her "consenting" with the first man, there wasn't video of her consenting to everything else.

Just because prosecutors didn't feel they had enough to press charges, doesn't mean a crime wasn't committed, those are two different things.

These types of things are so awful. If she was sexually assaulted, those scum bags should rot in jail. If she is just regretting what she did, no person should be falsely accused. No winners, it is very sad, and why sexual assault is so difficult to prove.
 
The sad part of this whole thing is not one of the ten stepped up and said, hey this is not right and at least try to put a stop to it. What kind of person stands by and lets people take advantage of another person like that. I don't care if she's the biggest hose monster in town. They were taking advantage of that girl because they could. Now those people that were involved in this are questioning her morals, but they need to take a look in the mirror. What kind of morals do you have to let yourself get involved in something like that.
 
First thing, I dont know many details except what I have read here. Seems there was and investigation and a video. If nothing else is done by authorities, police or the school, and if the players want to boycott then let them. The hell with Minnesota football and their sports program. This is a bad rep for their team and school. Let them all sit home and give up their spot in the bowl to a another team.

Many of you maybe dont know the history of thuggery at Minnesota.
 
What these "social just warrior" players fail to realize is this. There's a legal standard (as in, can a case be made to file charges and prosecute), and there's an ethical standard. Universities have their own code of conduct, that doesn't necessarily parallel legal standards. When you accept an athletic scholarship, you enter into a contract of sorts. That scholarship comes with certain expectations and requirements...not simply "stay out of jail". (something a millennial snowflake may not grasp...because it's all about their "rights"...never mind their responsibilities). This is the same reason a company can fire you for bad behavior...without it necessarily rising to the level of a crime.

My guess is the University found the behavior outside the realm of what they'd consider acceptable conduct for a student athlete...or even a Gopher football player. he he he...

Whatever Pollard.
 
Guys...this isn't a Minnesota thing.

It's a Minnesota got caught thing.

Until the end of time, if you give 20 year old males access to booze, local fame (if not national), boosters' money/gifts, and thousands of girls who want to party with football players bad things are going to happen somewhere along the line. You can argue with me all you want about changing culture, etc., I'm not getting into that discussion, and I'm also not saying it was right what they did. If my son was involved I wouldn't defend him and I'd be done helping him through college, that's for sure. The only way you'll prevent this from happening is by locking up students in their dorms 16 hours a day.

If you think this kind of stuff doesn't happen at Iowa you are completely delusional.

Spot on Drummer. You don't have to break the law to be kicked off a team or kicked out of a school. Is this the type of behavior that you want associated with your football program and school??? At least some schools take a stand on these things and don't just rubber stamp whatever the football coach wants so they can win a couple more games.

This should be the standard. People outside the football program were reponsible and did their jobs, shit like at Penn St would have been stopped before it became systemic.....same at Baylor.

Did you really just blame a gang rape on millennial mentality? I am pretty sure there have been discipline issues with past generations. But congrats on passing the buck
