We now take you to the Air Force Academy

U.S. Air Force Academy cadet athletes flouted the sacred honor code by committing sexual assaults, taking drugs, cheating and engaging in other misconduct at wild parties while the service academy focused on winning bowl games and attracting money from alumni and private sources in recent years, a Gazette investigation has found.

The findings are egregious enough that academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson told The Gazette that she has called for an Inspector General's investigation of the athletic department.

The lowdown
The athletes: The troubled group included two football stars who were court-martialed. Other cadets were kicked out of the academy.
The experts: Experts blame big-money sports like football and a drive to win for corrupting service academies. The Pentagon is cracking down on teams to stem sexual assault.
The leaders: At Air Force, leaders are reacting to the allegations of misbehavior by tightening recruiting standards, beginning new programs and ordering an investigation to ensure athletes meet the school's strict conduct rules. Superintendent Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson has ordered a review of whether the athletic department aligns with academy values.
The cadets: Cadets have started new groups to stop sexual violence, including a leadership council to keep the Falcons football team on the right path.

Good article, but just let it be known the Gazette has it out for the AFA like the DC has it out for CU.
