No perfect outcome to this situation.  Boycotting players think due process wasn't given but they wanted to move the timeframe for the accused institutional hearings up to before the bowl game.  Yet, this request would not be afforded to other students at Univ of MN (i.e., moving up a hearing date to accommodate life events).  Due process is relative to the policies and procedures laid out by the institution.

Also, without a doubt, if there is any chance that the players committed a violent crime, you have to suspend them until the investigation is complete and a hearing takes place.  There is a lot at stake for all parties - alleged accused and alleged victim.  If the university is doing things right, it takes time and they'll want to get it right.  It's not a perfect system but then again, is there any part of an investigation that would be straight forward when trying to decipher the difference between a gang rape and gang bang.

Personally, I think the football team was in the wrong to boycott (but certainly within their right).  They are making requests for the accused that are exceptions for  all other students.
