Cracked: 5 Infuriating Things Nobody Tells You About College

<p>

Yeah. I mean, it’s all hearsay and nothing was proven, but in the case of the girl who killed herself, I don’t think she was making it up. I actually knew a guy who was friends with a lot of the football players, and he said that it wasn’t true, that the girl was mentally unstable, regretted her decisions, lashed out, then killed herself. However, he was friends with the players, and thus more likely to defend them. I don’t find it so hard to believe, either in the case of the rape (especially if they were drunk) or even the refusal to pursue it in the administration.</p>

<p>General crime is very well reported; we have an alert system and get emails every time someone so much as jumps off a bike, grabs someone’s junk, jumps back on the bike, and rides away. Or if “a student was forcibly fondled at a social gathering.” There are regular on- and off-campus crime reports and the university seems to have no problem promptly reporting it… unless it’s the football team (allegedly). Every publicized one I can think of (Michael Floyd’s DUI, Tommy Rees’s running from police) happened off campus.</p>
