A complaint filed late February stating former Tennessee football player Drae Bowles assisted a woman who said she had been raped by two other players and later he was attacked by teammates and told by coach Butch Jones he had "betrayed the team." I think this should definitely have an impact on the coach. Him trying to hide the situation is only going to cause more problems. One being, the victim has now filed a lawsuit to Tennessee stating they violated Title IX regulations and created a "hostile sexual environment" through a policy of indifference toward assaults by athletes. That suit now includes eight unidentified women as plaintiffs. Clearly more athletes are going to think this isn't a big deal and are going to keep doing it. Especially football players, if their coach is defending them.
