I was a resident advisor, basically in charge of rule enforcement, on a dorm floor at Washington State University in the early 80's. Our dorm had several football players living in it. Covering up and protecting players from suffering the consequences of actions, from assault, dui, to rape, was a large part of the coaches job. I've viewed college and professional sports, especially football, differently ever since. Combine stupidity with lots of money, and years of getting a pass, and you get this type of outcome.
This guy was from my era and sort of the poster child for football player behavior that got a pass from everyone. If you read a retrospective about him from his coaches at the time it is full of "great guy from a troubled background" BS. He was a menace.
