Read the linked article and it reminded me of Royce Hooks & Brent Nash. Hooks & Nash were charged with 2nd degree sexual assault involving Marcel & Aaron Howard's younger sister, Ashley. Hooks & Nash were removed from the team and later Hooks was found not guilty and Nash's charges were dropped. I can see kicking them off the team simply for both of them being involved with a teammate's sister, but doesn't ISU have the rule that athletes are suspended from play when charged with sexual assault...just as Illinois has? I can see both sides. You don't want to have a coach/administrator decide if an athlete can still play, but also the athlete can be seriously damaged from being removed from the team. Innocent until proven guilty? I don't believe in "you have to believe her", I do believe law enforcement/legal system have to diligently investigate & prosecute if facts dictate.
