Petition demands that NCAA ban athletes with violent pasts

More than 130,000 people have now signed a petition demanding that the National Collegiate Athletic Association ban violent athletes from playing intercollegiate sports.

The petition comes weeks after Baylor University’s Board of Regents forced the university’s president to resign and fired its head football coach over allegations that they mishandled sexual assaults committed by its football players, including by a player who was accused of violent behavior at his previous college. It also comes amid a furor that helped lead the national governing body for swimming to ban a former Stanford University athlete who was recently convicted of sexual assault but sentenced to just six months in jail.
