I still think they should have harsher consequences for their actions, but they are seen differently for the above reason.

I feel college athletes might deserve higher levels of scrutiny, since they often are geting scholarship money to come to the school, and they wear the school's name on their chests in competitions across the state and in other states.
The list of athletic hazing being treated as "boys will be boys" grows:
Indiana - cross-country rookies running around campus in jock straps (no punishment ever announced)
Maryland - women's Lacrosse rookies dressed up like tampons (got suspensions to be served in the off season)
