Woman to ask NCAA to ban sexually violent athletes
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A woman who says she was raped by college football players nearly 20 years ago is asking the NCAA to ban sexually violent athletes.
Tracy's son Darius says he started the petition after hearing about multiple sexual assault allegations involving Baylor football players.
Baylor faces at least three federal lawsuits brought by women who claim the school was indifferent to or ignored claims of sexual assault and didn't enforce federal gender discrimination protections under Title IX.
Following Tuesday's announcement promoting the petition, the NCAA issued a statement that read in part: She has a compelling story and, like us, is seeking changes on campuses and nationally to stem the tide of sexual assault.
