Brenda Tracy is asking Power Five conference schools to get tougher when it comes to sexual violence.
In emails sent Monday to each president and athletic director of the NCAA's Power Five schools, Tracy lobbied for the immediate adoption of a policy, first implemented by Indiana University in April, that "disqualifies prospective student-athletes with records of sexual violence," according to a copy of her email.
Tracy is a survivor of a 1998 gang rape involving football players at Oregon State University and first told her story in 2014 to The Oregonian/OregonLive. She has since become one of the country's most prominent advocates for victims of sexual violence and has spoken to teams at more than 30 universities across the country.
