A Boston University task force has concluded that the men’s hockey team is detached from the general campus and that a “culture of sexual entitlement” exists among some players, a sense of privilege officials say contributed to two alleged sexual assaults on campus during the past season.
That culture of entitlement stems “in part from their elevated social status on campus,” and is marked by heavy use of alcohol and casual sexual encounters with female students, according to the 11-page report, which was released Wednesday.

It's about time. The university AND the students forget that they are there primarily to get an education, not play hockey. It's this sort of entitled attitude that sparked the Penn State scandal.
When you are revered for your brawn rather than your brain, there is little reason to not act like an animal. Athletic scholarships should be totally eliminated and the money re-directed to true scholars who need help affording school.
