College athletes are implicated in an outsized share of campus sexual assaults.
But while the NCAA disciplines athletes for profiting off their own likeness, nothing in its 440-page Division I rulebook stops those found responsible for sexual or violent misconduct from competing.
Even when expelled, suspended or criminally convicted for sexual offenses, athletes can transfer to other NCAA schools and return to the field in a year or less.
Many coaches are eager to recruit them.
The result?
A pipeline that college athletes disciplined for sexual assault use regularly to resurrect their playing careers and leave sanctions behind.
