In a related issue (though one where the football team is not involved -- at least not yet), have folks kept up with the events at Yale?  See http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/arch...le/414810/

Much of it is very troubling for anyone who values universities as centers of open intellectual inquiry and debate.

I don't remember a time when that was really true.  Countercultural, sure.  Differences of opinion?  Oh yeah.  Respect for other points of view, leading to "open intellectual inquiry and debate?"  No.
