Were the miscreants ever caught and punished??

No idea. That was 35+ years ago and before the university was on my
radar.
I mean it was there, and that was about it.

women claimed they needed an all female dorm to protect them from boys. JM>And this dorm is always full.

I can imagine. In high school, we had a co-ed dressing room in the
drama department. But, we were so busy changing costumes during plays
that we weren't worried about "taking inventory" of members of the
opposite sex...because our cue to go back on stage was imminent.

A lot of difference between that and living together, in a manner of speaking.

would declare "I'm an athlete!" My first response was asking "So?"

then "and your point is?" That burned them up!

They probably threatened you. Did you have "police power"??

No, no one ever threatened me. Oh there were the occasional idle
threats that meant nothing. "You little so-and-so (insert earthier
language here), I'll get you for that!" sort of thing.
When I told them "So?" they were more stunned than anything.
The closest I can think of off hand was a baseball player who stood
near me idly swinging a ball bat at his side. I just stared him down and nothing happened.

We had a coach here for some years ago who didn't care about

anything the guys did, so long as they won games. ==sigh==

That turns me off to things like that...and that's what the fans want.
If the team is winning, the coach is "the greatest thing since sliced bread"...but, if they start losing, they want the coaches head on the
platter that the bread was served on.

I hear that all the time. Regardless of who the coach at the moment
happens to be.
Sometimes coaches do make dumb play calls, but I say its more the
talent on the field than the coach.
There are times one team simply plays a better team.
Its funny through.
If the team beats the other team by a few points the local media says
they "routed" the other guys. If they lose big the other team "squeaked"
by. :)

When asked why, he replied "In case footbal doesn't work out". He had a
good head on his shoulders.

Smart man!

And no need for a student to try and claim they were never in that

room what with all public areas on camera. "You weren't in that room?
Lets review the video..." :)

Busted.

Those cameras pay for themselves over and over.
There have been many times someone claims something happened and the
video is reviewed and nothing like whatever had happened, or with the
person in question.
There are sometimes charges made "the morning after" that an incident happened and it shows the accuser was never even in the building at the
time. (Video hours/days before/after are reviewed).

Joe,

Exactly. Regardless, all fans of all programs want a perfect season.
And, the talent are only going to where they can get "championship
rings" (i.e. Alabama). You can have the best coaches money can buy (the athletic coaches are the highest paid folks in the state)...but, if the
kids don't do their job, it's pointless.

Those cameras pay for themselves over and over.

Cameras or recordings...neither one lie.
