A jury has found a former Vanderbilt football player guilty on all charges for his role in the rape of an unconscious woman.

Brandon Vandenburg was found guilty by the jury in Nashville of raping the woman who he was dating at the time in his Vanderbilt dorm room three years ago.

The jury took four hours to make their decision and delivered their verdict just after 8.20pm local time.

Vandenburg now faces a potential jail sentence of up to 25 years and was taken into custody as soon as the verdicts were read out while his parents began to cry.

I sincerely believe that these athletic programs need to be abolished and basically be removed. Universities should be about learning, not extending the high school glory years for oversexed athletes.

Absolutely, it's time.

Even if they weren't sexual predators, the corruption of the entire system inherent in calling them "students," as universities construct increasingly preposterous excuses for curriculums and bend grade standards to suit them -- many of whom are completely illiterate -- needs to end.

Baseball has functioned perfectly well for more than a hundred years without requiring the taxpayers to destroy higher education for the sake of their farm system. Once "trans females" start competing in women's sports, the pressure to do away with all organized jockery will become too great to withstand. It will be for all the wrong reasons, but good riddance all the same.

Yes. And let’s ban fraternities, sororities, and anything else that makes the college experience fun.

“anything else that makes the college experience fun”

Especially student debt.

I agree. Let the NFL, NBA, etc., set up farm teams, they certainly have the money.

so he let three of obama’s sons rape his girlfriend while she was unconscious?

What a guy.

His defense was they attacked the girl as soon as he laid her down.

WHY would you let three guys follow you into taking your girl up to bed?

I couldn’t tell from the article if he even had sex with her.

But he didn’t try to stop them, so that’s that. 25 years. If he’s a senior, he’ll be about my age when he gets out

Colleges can sponsor sports farm teams without pretending these borderline dull/imbeciles are “students,” and they can stay off campus and out of trouble, where they belong.

Because of this particular gang rape?

I can't believe he tried to 'splain it away as helping the woman....he handed out condoms...he took video...he covered the web cam in the hall...

I also notice that 3 out of 4 of the animals are black....

Agreed, however, how will the masses react if the circus is taken away and universities get back to their primary purpose, education?

This isn’t just a one-time thing among athletes. They have a habit of basically getting way out of control and running amok. Women are attacked or taken advantage of and basically a lot of other people get hurt. This isn’t the only time athletes have lost control and done things like this.

Fraternities, and sororities are a tradition, university sports can be done without. It’s not necessary to have a ton of athletic programs. A lot of the athletes don’t even study serious subjects or study at all. They just get drunk, stoned, and in their spare time vandalize the immediate area. Too many of them are not college/university material.

Interesting that the thug-idiots were taking photos of her with their cell phones at 20 second mark, apparently unaware of the surveillance cam. But at the 37 sec. mark a couple of the perps slunk out of there with towels over their heads apparently VERY aware of that surveillance cam.
