Florida's Cameron Newbauer shows how women are failed by sports (yahoo.com)

Who, exactly, is protecting female athletes on college campuses? Anyone?

Wasn't there a fairly well known video of the Japan woman's volleyball team training with some pretty rough treatment from the coaches? I think the vid was from the 70's or 80's.
