Immunity From Prosecution for Florida & FSU Football/Basketball Players

[Marshal Dillon]

Very interesting stuff. Read links.

An investigation by ESPN's "Outside the Lines" has substantiated a long-held assumption about major college sports programs: male athletes accused of crimes avoid charges or prosecution at a far higher rate than college-age non-athletes due to preferential treatment and a confluence of factors.

The investigation sought police reports involving men's football and basketball athletes at 10 major programs - Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Michigan State, Missouri, Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, Oregon State, Texas A&M, and Wisconsin - from 2009 to 2014.

I saw this, this morning on Outside The Lines on ESPN. They were really getting down to the nuts and bolts about why these kids get away with so much. The guy from FSU said that the police there had changed since this coaching staff has come to town. It was really involved and scary. No wonder Jimbo is losing his wife the way he seems to own the town. RTR!

Florida and Florida State led the way, with athletes at the two schools avoiding criminal charges or prosecution two-thirds of the time on average when named as suspects by police, a rate far higher than non-athletes of the same age.

Let me show you my shocked and amazed face.
