Report: College athletes convicted of sexual misconduct can transfer schools and keep playing sports
, Kenny Jacoby details what he calls the “predator pipeline,” a system within the NCAA that allows players accused of or, in some cases, convicted of sexual assault to transfer schools and play on other teams—even if they have been expelled from their university.
“College athletes can lose their NCAA eligibility in numerous ways, but sexual assault is not one of them,” Jacoby writes. “Even when facing or convicted of criminal charges, even when suspended or expelled from school, NCAA rules allow them to transfer elsewhere and keep playing.”The newspaper found that, since 2014, almost 30 Division 1 student-athletes transferred from one NCAA school to another, after being disciplined by their college for sexual misconduct.
In the 440-page rulebook, created by the association, there is no punishment listed for athletes who are found guilty ofWhile the rules for smoking marijuana or accepting financial rewards involve harsh punishment, the NCAA by its own admission does not punish sexual misconduct. Instead, they leave any decisions on disciplinary actions to the discretion of the school.
