That being said, it seems like the University and the team are punished, at least in the public perception, for the misdeeds of individuals. Young men doing horrible things, at college or otherwise, isn't a new phenomenon. The fact that they also play football shouldn't be part of the story except the footnote that they are removed from the team and expelled, unless the institution or program had any culpability.
Yes, football players are historically bad actors.
The exception at Self Righteous Baptist Baylor is they seem to promote this bad acting. As long as players pray afterward it is Ok
Baylor, Louisville, Michigan State to name a few should be looked at seriously receiving the DEATH PENALTY.
But BAYLOR should be first in line.

Generally agree but football becomes a big part of the story when the punishment is more lenient than for a non-football playing student and/or the matter is lied about or covered up by the school because it involves football players.

I agree with this your point but I think a lot of people assume these things without evidence of it actually happened. A lot of people assumed, for example, that Jameis Winston was guilty of rape and was not legally prosecuted because he was a football player but there was plenty of evidence that the accuser was not reliable and that her shifting stories as well as witness statements and other facts couldn't result in a prosecutable case. To this day, people still assume that not only is he guilty, but that the university and/or police and district attorney did not properly investigate and prosecute because of him being a player. When in fact, there has been other instances of Tallahassee police and the district attorney arresting, investigating, and prosecuting other players without controversy.
I think people are always in a hurry to point fingers, especially at institutions (particularly if they are perceived as part of "The Man") without the benefit of researching or knowing all the facts of the matter.

They promote rape? Seriously?

As did Penn State and Michigan State as well.
