Sure. But if the goal was to get them to not press charges, why kick him off the team when there's no charges pending.

This has already been covered. It's because a female student-athlete was raped by UM FB players, tried to get help for it from UM officials, was instead ostracized, ridiculed, ultimately kicked off the team of her sport and out of UM, and ended up taking her own life...
Yesterday, the independent council investigation of that sordid affair was released and UM was roasted and heavily criticized for their lack of proper response. To the extent that individuals will most likely be fired and lawsuits will most likely come forth...
Also yesterday, internet news reports and other UM blog "sources" report that DGB - once again, a UM FB player - attacked the victim, then efforts were made to intimidate the victim into not pressing charges, which apparently proved successful. DGB has also had a bad short history off the field at UM...
Missouri is in a very bad spot right now. With all the news about these events taking place all at once, it appears the UM AD is a shambles and a joke in keeping it's student-athletes on the leash. The football program seems to be the most culpable. Coach Pinkel couldn't have had any other recourse left to him after all that...
It just looks bad. The whole thing looks very bad. My position is, the victim CLEARLY told the police that she didn't wish to press charges - NOT BECAUSE THE ASSAULT DIDN'T HAPPEN - but because she felt intimidation and coercion from others, and felt she would be harrassed by others if she did press charges.
What blows MY mind is that the Missouri police listened to that, and then basically said, "oh alrighty then. In that case, just sign this form to decline prosecution. Thank you very much"....and then turned their backs on the victim and walked away....
Who the frick does that shite? Oh I know: a college town. Why wouldn't the police Dept. take it on themselves to proceed forward with charges anyways? Since they know for a fact that an assault took place.....

It was a progression. They wanted it to be quietly dropped. When it wasn't and more information came out....they had to do something.
You guys need to take a step away from the kool-aid wagon for just a bit. How would you be looking at this situation if it were going on at any other school. I have already admitted and condemned my own schools failings. But you can't?
