It appears this is very difficult case due to the lack of evidence, the spotty memory of the victim and the inconsistencies in her statements.

"Though she said her memory was spotty, she recalled Djam in a common area asking her to go up to his apartment. She would later testify that she had no intention of having sex.
She said she felt panicked when Djam walked her into his bedroom, but later testified that he never pushed her, prevented her from leaving or said anything threatening to her.
Asked during a court hearing why she didn’t leave, she said, “I felt scared, trapped, isolated with someone I felt had power over me.”
At some point, they began having sex. The police report said “she doesn’t have a recall about how the sex acts started.”"

Now it appears the initial, first sexual contact may not have been assault...However, what happened afterward appears to more likely have been assault with the gang sex/rape.

This right here is a typical response from someone who was sexually assaulted, no consent:  “I was removing myself from my mind and my body to help myself from the pain and experience going on,” she testified.

This would cause me to lean on the side that a sexual assault did indeed occur.

Also, what comes into play in this situation is the Baylor mess.  I think Minn's actions are result of Baylor's inactions and the resulting mess in that case.  I am not saying it is wrong, I think they should be suspended, they are playing football, which is privilege not a right.  I think the current football players are wrong...the admin can't discuss specifics because of student privacy issues and victim's rights.

Call their bluff and say ok, we are passing on the bowl game...cya next year...
