A woman who graduated from Baylor University filed a lawsuit against the school yesterday, claiming she was raped by two football players in 2013. The lawsuit includes allegations that 31 football players committed at least 52 acts of rape, including five gang rapes, between 2011 and 2014.

The woman, who is using the name, “Elizabeth Doe” says she was raped by lineman Tre’Von Armstead and linebacker Shamycheal Chatman at a party in 2013. The party she claims it happened at was hosted by one of the star players, Shawn Oakman, who himself is facing rape allegations in an unrelated case.
She claimed she was very intoxicated on the night in question and didn’t even know how she got to the apartment with the players but is adamant she wasn’t in the condition to give consent.
In her suit, the accuser claims the university used the promise of sex with white women to help lure top football recruits to Baylor.
The lawsuit claims an assistant coach once asked a high school athlete, “Do you like white women? Because we have a lot of them at Baylor and they love football players.”
When contacted for comment by TMZ, Baylor did not address the specific allegations but did say, “Our hearts go out to any victims of sexual assault. Any assault involving members of our campus community is reprehensible and inexcusable.”
“Baylor University has taken unprecedented actions that have been well-documented in response to the issue of past and alleged sexual assaults involving our campus community.”
This is all just absolutely insane. Baylor University has already been under fire for trying to cover up numerous sexual assault incidents over the past few years. If these allegations brought by Elizabeth Doe prove to be true, the NCAA needs to wipe out the entire program and hold the coaches and higher members of the school responsible for not doing more.
