The rape culture on campus is way over blown. A traditional college age woman not in college actually has a greater chance of being raped.
Just read that they are striking to support a student who is on hunger strike until the president is fired or steps down. The student claims he won't eat until the president resigns or he dies of hunger. I know nothing about the issues behind his motive for doing this, but forcing the president to resign over this sounds like it would set an interesting precedent.
So, we'll have to end up playing against of unathletic white guys in a few weeks? How is this any different than the Iowa game last year?
Gruden will be here before we know it. Or we will all be dead. I guess it's good either way since we won't have to deal with Butch anymore.
Interesting that none of the media has pointed out that the guy who is hunger striking has been the man assembling the rallies and protest for all these different issues. Sounds like he is bouncing from issue to issue until he gets someone to listen....nobody cared about grad students or medical care, but use the hot button of racism and boom...
I read through their list of demands and laughed at a couple of them. Having the students involved in living the next president is analogous to having the players on tier football team pick their next coach. If you're at that point is time to close the University down. What is a University supposed to do about the retention rate of students? They already want to keep these people here for their tuition money. If anything making me waste my dollars on diversity classes would make me leave campus.
I'm going to one up you, I will only eat bacon cheeseburgers and lasagna until our AD is cleaned out.

Yeah. This guy makes UT leadership look competent. This is just the straw that broke the camel's back and is also a good media story.
It will be an interesting precedent, to say the least. As will a group of players doing the same, themselves, or refusing to play in support of someone who does.
Pending Botch press conference: "tough to focus playing scabs. Eye discipline is so important playing those scabs and backups. I'm not going to apologize for coaching like we're playing cricket..."
See, there has to be more to this than what we're getting if players, undergrads, grad students, staff, and faculty are all saying this guy is unable to lead them. I don't know much about the situation other than reading that timeline. The timeline made everything seem disjointed, but perhaps there is some underlying thread that isn't getting explained in the media. We've had some awful leadership at UT when I was there, but it never even came close to this because the governor and trustees would let it get this far (and it isn't like they were sharp, it was just... obvious). Also, at this point this guy doesn't look like a public servant if he doesn't step down. It sounds like he has no support from any quarter.
