KANSAS CITY, Mo. - In the wake of a damning national ESPN report on 10 universities ’ handling of athlete criminal cases, Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill is telling collegiate athletic directors: It’s time to stop protecting athletes.
McCaskill, a former sex crimes prosecutor, used the keynote address at the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Convention to call for a change in culture within athletic programs.
“Winning programs that don’t have values or character are losing programs,” said McCaskill.
McCaskill has drafted a bill aimed at putting preferential treatment for athletes accused of sexual assaults on the sideline.
“When the first call from the police department is to the coach… That’s not the way this is supposed to work.” |
Much respect for the Senator trying to get this dangerous football program under control.
