Dotson will not be prosecuted due to a lack of evidence, and was the lone subject of the investigation


So why punish him for a crime we can't prove he committed?

Why punish ALL three when only this one was investigated? Modern Salem witch hunt and nothing more.

This is the second sexual assault incident involving Austin, who was also under investigation by police in Providence, R.I. Austin transferred to Oregon after originally signing with Providence and getting suspended for the season.

I see your point. However you have to understand that this is not a court of law. These atheletes have an obligation to the university to avoid situations like this. They are public figures.

There likely enough evidence to prove that something unsavory was happening. These kids should be kicked out for it.

This is a second offense for all three of them. Artis committed an NCAA violation, Dotson furnished fake ID, and the third guy transferred in from Providence after being in another investigation. Bad apples. Good Riddance.

Because there are plenty of people who want to play for Oregon who have never even been accused of anything.

If a coach wants to say "Stay the hell out of any hint of trouble, no matter what" and back it up, why not?
