our rape culture. Name one UT athlete convicted of rape. Name one UT athlete who was not suspended from his team when a rape was alleged, until the charges were dropped.

Dropped charges generally come from lacking of evidence not that a rape didn't occur but that the prosecutors didn't have enough evidence to prove it.

Hard to convict when the entire school is working together to make sure no convictions happen.

Dat rape culture doing work.

Does this actually happen so often at Tennessee to be statistically relevant?

If so, what does that say about the place?

OK, now for the facts.

To my knowledge, no UT athlete has been convicted of rape.

There are currently 2 UT athletes accused of rape, with trials pending. The allegations do not make them guilty. They deserve the presumption of innocence until proven guilty just like you, me, and everyone else.

But isn't that the problem? Not one conviction, yet the alleged rapes continue. Evidently some guys are getting the message up there that they can continue that kind of thing within that culture with impunity or so one might think that.

I think that the allegation is that most of the incidents were covered up so we wouldn't know that much about them.
