Really? They point this out to perspective students and their parents? That's going to make parents want to send their daughters there?

Well, as long as they cover up the rapes and similar, I guess they figure it's okay. Apparently the University of Virginia are having a few issues right now:

Eventually, UVA furnished Rolling Stone with some of its most recent tally: In the last academic year, 38 students went to Eramo about a sexual assault, up from about 20 students three years ago. However, of those 38, only nine resulted in "complaints"; the other 29 students evaporated. Of those nine complaints, four resulted in Sexual Misconduct Board hearings. UVA wasn't willing to disclose their outcomes, citing privacy. Like most colleges, sexual-assault proceedings at UVA unfold in total secrecy. Asked why UVA doesn't publish all its data, President Sullivan explains that it might not be in keeping with "best practices" and thus may inadvertently discourage reporting. Jackie got a different explanation when she'd eventually asked Dean Eramo the same question. She says Eramo answered wryly, "Because nobody wants to send their daughter to the rape school."

I mean the actual football player

Not only is a champion motor sports man, but now you tell me he's a pro-footballer, is there nothing that guy can't do, save swallowing small fruits.

Good day to you too by the way.

Ken Dorsey, I think he was a quarterback at the University of Miami 15 years ago?

[Ed Anger]

Dorsey was slayed by the Krenzel.

[Eddie Teach]

I looked him up. He had an illustrious NFL career, with no less than 8 touchdown passes.

Vienna's vineyards are safe!

There was increased pressure on winemakers to sell their estates on the outskirts. Speculators would buy a vineyard in the picturesque hills and let it lay fallow, hoping for it to become rezoned into residential areas. The city, with support from all parties and wide support by the winemakers have now stipulated that if you buy a vineyard you have to grow wine there. Additionally, they wiped all plans of changing agricultural lands into residential zones off the table.

You know, I know the saying is fool my once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, so I really ought to know better, but there's about a zero percent chance I don't rush out to go see this movie when it is released...
