One of the talking heads on TV, on the Nancy Grace show, said that the findings from the rape kit were consistant with the girl having had sex within three days.
The DNA results don't indicate that she didn't have sex recently, just that she didn't have sex within a span of time that would leave physical evidence.
Rape aside, I am not sure why so many people are ok with the whole team being punished for the alleged actions of maybe three people.
ETA: Also, I believe they said on TV that there are pictures of the lady in question entering the party with bruises already visible on her.

Since it seems that most, if not all the team, was at the party I'm ok with the season's suspension because there had to have been a substantial number who knew/saw what happened (or didn't happen); certainly enough to come forward, lawyered up to be sure, and cooperate with the authorities.
Had it been a case where a third or more team members were absent, then I'd definitely feel the school would be wrong to punish the "substantially innocent" for the alleged actions of the "guilty few."
