INDIANAPOLIS -- A woman who says she was raped by college football players nearly 20 years ago is asking the NCAA to ban sexually violent athletes.Brenda Tracy and her son will present a petition to the NCAAs Board of Governors at its meeting Wednesday in Indianapolis. Current guidelines generally allow schools or conferences to hand down such punishments.Tracys son Darius says he started the petition after hearing about multiple sexual assault allegations involving Baylor football players. The petition contains more than 157,000 signatures.Its unclear when -- or if -- the NCAA committee will take action. It already has already met once with the family as it debates how to address sexual violence on campus.Brenda Tracy says she was raped by four men, including two Oregon State football players, in 1998. The Associated Press generally doesnt identify people who say they were sexually assaulted, but Tracy has spoken publicly to draw attention to her situation.She recently met with football players at Nebraska and Baylor. Nebraska is coached by Mike Riley, who was Oregon States coach in 1998 and suspended the two accused players for one game. They were arrested but never charged.Baylor faces at least three federal lawsuits brought by women who claim the school was indifferent to or ignored claims of sexual assault and didnt enforce federal gender discrimination protections under Title IX. The scandal cost coach Art Briles his job and forced university chancellor Kenneth Starr to resign.Following Tuesdays announcement promoting the petition, the NCAA issued a statement that read in part: She has a compelling story and, like us, is seeking changes on campuses and nationally to stem the tide of sexual assault. We look forward to continuing our conversation with her and other leaders regarding this important matter.The NCAA first began discussing the issue in 2010, and held a summit in Indianapolis in the spring of 2011. It later announced it would sponsor the Violence Prevention Think Tank.In August 2014, the topic came up again. This time, the NCAA issued a statement on sexual violence prevention.One month later, the NCAA released a handbook about how to deal with sexual violence and joined the Its on Us campaign.In July 2015, the NCAA started the Sexual Assault Task Force. In February, the NCAA held another summit on the topic. Cheap Air Max 90 Wholesale . The giant slalom world champion slipped during her first run in the morning, landing on her back and then twisting forward before getting her leg caught in the protective material on the side of the slope. Cheap Air Max 90 China . Vettel, who has already clinched his fourth straight F1 title, enters the finale with a chance to equal Michael Schumachers 13 victories in a year and match the record of nine consecutive wins by Alberto Ascari in the 1952 and 1953 seasons. http://www.cheapairmax90.us/ . Louis. To which I would say two things: 1. Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less. Cheap Air Max 90 Free Shipping . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams. Cheap Air Max 90 For Sale . PETERSBURG, Fla. From the outside, it may look like the Indiana Hoosiers are rebuilding again.Three of last seasons top five scorers, including record-breaking point guard Kevin Yogi Ferrell, are gone and the only senior on the roster, forward Collin Hartman, is out indefinitely after knee surgery in September.Inside the newly renovated and renamed Simon Skjdot Assembly Hall, coaches and players see things differently. They believe theres enough talent still around to give the defending Big Ten champions a shot at a second straight conference crown.Everybodys eager to learn, eager to get things right. We want to get things right and compete at a high level, sophomore center Thomas Bryant said. The athleticism has gotten better as well with this team, and everybody is just eager to get out there and play.Certainly, there is work to do.But coach Tom Crean has dealt with far worse. And this time, Crean begins with a stronger foundation.When the 6-foot-10 Bryant bypassed the NBA draft, the Hoosiers were given a talented and energetic inside presence. Sharp-shooting guard James Blackmon Jr. also returns after missing the second half of last season because of knee surgery. Versatile guard Robert Johnson appears ready to fill the leadership void left by Ferrells departure and sophomore forwards OG Anunoby and Juwan Morgan are expected to progress after showing so much promise last season.Plus, the Hoosiers are deep. Guard Josh Newkirk is ready after transferring from Pittsburgh, junior college transfer Freddie McSwain Jr. could be an immediate contributor and the incoming freshmen are lead forwards DeRon Davis and Curtis Jones.Indiana believes that should be enough to finish the job. All they have to do now is prove it.Older teams have a hard time understanding how important it is to communicate with each other. Young teams really have no idea, Crean said. Even though we have some experienced guys, they are now going to have to be those expperienced guys in the realm of taking real control of the team.ddddddddddddHere are some other things to watch this season:FIND THE POINTIts never easy to replace someone like Ferrell, a four-year starter who played on two Sweet 16 teams and is the Hoosiers career assists leader. And it may take more than one player to do it. Johnson and Newkirk are likely to get the bulk of the early work, but they are different kinds of floor leaders from Ferrell. Expect Crean to do some mixing and matching early in the season to see what he has at that position.INJURIESIn addition to Hartman , Morgan (shoulder surgery) and McSwain (knee surgery) were not cleared to practice when fall workouts began. Johnsons offseason ankle surgery limited his early workouts. Blackmon, meanwhile, insists hes healthy.I dont just feel like Im back, I feel like Im better than I was, he said. And I feel like Ill be able to show that this season.SCHEDULING TOUGHAt Big Ten media day, Crean joked that this seasons non-conference slate was the result of poor scheduling. Kidding aside, the Hoosiers do have a remarkably difficult November and December. They open the season Nov. 11 against Kansas, host North Carolina on Nov. 30 and play Butler (Dec. 17) and Louisville (Dec. 31) in Indianapolis. The good news: Indiana should know how good it really is when league play begins.THE REASSMEBLY LINEAlmost 20 months after construction began on the Hoosiers home court, they will christen the renovated arena Nov. 16 against UMass-Lowell. What can fans expect? A new three-story entryway with a grand staircase, which doubles as a kind of Indiana museum full of iconic mementoes, new seats, repainted floors, more easily accessible concession stands and, of course, the new name.---AP college basketball website: http://collegebasketball.ap.org/ cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
