there's nothing in the article that indicates the suit is going horribly for the ncaa. if the plaintiffs get their request for class cert granted, then you could say that. but for now there's no indication it will be granted. but yeah, it would be pretty amazing if things actually do start going wrong for the ncaa.

Yeah I'd guess sexual assault could mean any form of physical constraint in which the goal is sexual activity. But ask one of the Stealers posters.

I'm dangerously close to the Penn state campus right now, this sexual assault talk isn't helping

Oh man you should troll the **** out of them somehow.

Write on the side of your rig "Joe Paterno facilitated CHILD RAPE, y'all. LOL @ U guize."

And drive through the town doing like 80. Don't stop for red lights or stop signs. Obviously lay on the horn the entire time.

But would a news outlet report on a rape occurring if that's what the victim alleges or would they just call it sexual assault? Probably different policies for different outlets but just curious.

Legally? No. Different jurisdictions have different definitions of each term.

EDIT: Thought I was the only lawyer in here unless Karak was posting.

Also the NCAA article is all hype and no substance. I haven't read the papers so I can't make any predictions or assessments of the arguments, but don't be surprised by the NCAA's attorneys acting as if they cannot lose. That's how lawyers act (in public) in litigation.

I ate a sandwich today called the "A-R-C". It was a roast beef sandwich.

Probably call it a "rape allegation" if that's the charge, as opposed to a "sexual assault." In my experience, news outlets think of groping, fondling, molesting, etc., as a sexual assault and tend to specify allegations of rape as distinct from sexual assault. Also, both get viewers / readers, but rape gets more.

ok, did my semiannual rant about modding and the fact that the posters own their forums, not the mods, in the ATF thread about PHB/ARC. Tho Tuq pretty much had knocked it out of the park already.
