Don't agree with the bolded at all. SLU had a basketball player accused of sexual assault before the season, they allowed him to play all season, then severely punished him for his role in the alleged sexual assault. I have no problem with them holding the 3 out of games while they're being investigated, specifically to avoid this type of scenario, where they let a basketball player play and then later have to say whoops, turns out we had a sexual predator representing SLU on the biggest stage, but please keep sending your daughters to SLU.
SLU made the absolute worst decision they could have in this situation. Ruined this season, ruined the program for the foreseeable future, while also sending the message that a sexual predator was allowed to represent the university on the biggest stage.
