So which UW basketball player did the raping?

[ChicosBailBonds]

Since the UW fans who thought Buzz was horrible, stupid, etc, today find him to be a genius...LOL.  


Thought this article from this week about a UW basketball player raping a woman was interesting.  Note, there are so many hyphen schools in the UW system, hard to say which one.  Then again, the author certainly states it was a large college campus in a small college town, so we can strike UW Milwaukee and UW Green Bay off the list.  She says he was a DI player, so that leaves only one school left.  Or maybe he's not DI, and he plays elsewhere.

I'm sure if it was Madison, the top notch policing like this in Madison on campus  http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/uw-madison-police-captain-fired-thousands-pics-unknowing-women-article-1.1810588 , will get to the bottom of it.

Looking forward to Breadtree and crew riding to the defense, especially the ones attacking MU for our sexual assault issues (which were disgusting in their own right).  Makes you wonder how many things go on in Madison (and elsewhere) that are covered up, similar to Florida State.

Hope the woman is ok.

It says in there he was a senior and she called him 6'6, that narrows it down quite well, Zach Bohannon?

Great.  This thread will go places.

Classic Democratic Republic of Madison shenanigans.

Call it a public service announcement against the exploitation of women by athletes that think they can do whatever the hell they want. 

[GGGG]

Right.  It's awesome for us to make guesses on a public message board about who on the UW basketball team might be a rapist.

Boy that logo looks a lot like the logo for Rutgers....better check with the patent department to see if it cancelled Rutgers trademark.

You can go to the UW board and do the same thing...it's all about the spirit of cooperation between the two schools.

Of course, the beautiful irony is they had no trouble when the shoes are on the other foot, be it Marquette, Michigan, Minnesota, etc.  

As stated, we don't know what UW basketball team, only a UW basketball team.

Why couldn't it be Green Bay? Green Bay is a smaller town than Madison. UW-GB is a massive campus.

Right.  So let's engage in the same behavior.

As Jesus once said "It's pretty much OK to do anything to someone as long as they have done it to you first."

Did Jesus also say go F yourself?

It could be, though the part where she says college town, well I guess in my view college town isn't Green Bay.  But I do say it could be any UW DI school, of she may be wrong about it being DI.

I have no doubt that if she said a DI Michigan school, the Badger faithful would react accordingly.

Lots of "coulds" here. Could be true, could be fiction. but by all means, let's hang somebody.

Socialists and cultists have a reputation for this sort of thing, but they call it "re-education."

Although it will always be dominated by the Packers, Green Bay actually is a decent college town, maybe not quite as much as Madison but UWGB is a big part of the culture and sports landscape in Green Bay. The campus is massive, one of the biggest in the UW system, and most cultural/sporting events outside of the packers is through UWGB, either at the Weidner Center or Phoenix sports. UWGB's cheerleaders even serve as the Packers' cheerleaders.

The article may well be talking about Madison but I wouldn't be surprised if it was UWGB.

If it is true, it would seem that hangings (or any other sort of unsanctioned corporal punishment) is the only recourse that women like Megan have for justice without the unnecessary and undeserving drama.

You would think in a place like Madison, they would be a little more protective of rape victims than they are in South Bend... but it seems that "D-I privilege" is everywhere these days.  Honestly, I don't know how much longer a civilized society can tolerate this.  When they start having the hearings in D.C. over the BCS breaking away, I hope the Megans can muster the courage to speak up... otherwise, as soon as you start paying these kids and enabling them further, this crap is going to spiral out of control.

Don't like this thread and am only speaking to GB as a "college town".  Lived in GB for several years and I would hardly characterize GB as a "college town".  Certainly, the Weidner Center brings cultural advantages to the town.  But, the campus is really rather "distant" from the town in its location. Phoenix sports are rather low key.  Otherwise, GB is Packers 24/7.

Really??? Giving athletes (who don't have the oppurtunity to work part-time) a couple thousand $$$ a month is going to cause a rape epidemic?

May you and Chicos could put your heads together and write a thesis about this nonsense.

Agree to disagree. I grew up 40 minutes outside of Green Bay and I have the opposite impression.

[Dawson Rental]

The Phoenix had two 6'6" senior basketball players last year.

So, if it is Green Bay, we can look forward to bonus pages debating which of the two it was more likely to be.

There you go again, saying athletes don't have the opportunity to work part time.  Yes they do.  That has been legislated in the NCAA a long time ago.

I guess if you repeat your lie enough eventually someone will believe you.

It's not the money that enables the kids... it's the system that has enough money to pay the kids that enables the kids.  Kid isn't going to go out and start raping just because he has a couple hondos in his pocket.  But if the kid has a couple hondos, that means the school and TV networks are making more money than when the kids weren't being paid.  Therefore, the school and networks have more to lose financially; ipso facto they would have an even greater incentive than they do today to "protect" their athletes.  More cover-ups enables more crime.

In other words, the money won't drive a kid who has no predisposition to sexual assault or rape, but there are inevitably going to be some "borderline" athletes who stop just short of it realizing the consequences of their actions... assuming that the population of athletes 5-10 years are characteristically the same as they are today, then in a system where consequences are swept under the rug in greater frequency, fewer of these "borderline" kids are going to stop to consider the consequences.

I still think you're reaching, but I can see what you are saying.
