Claimants of rape or other crimes should be given a short amount of time to file charges, after which the alleged crime should be dismissed (Sorry Charlie, you're too late!). There is a statute of limitations on time allowed for criminal charges, but I don't know if it applies to civil suits.
IMO, waiting several years should disqualify the accusations since any real evidence is lost and memories become fuzzy. Credibilty is also suspect, as in this case where the girl seems to be trying to "cash in" on the ongoing inevestigations against the University of Colorado.
Barnett was probably angry at the whole mess going on and wanted to vent some of his frustrations.
Indeed, Hnida was probably forced upon him to appease the university's liberals and feminists. There were probably many men more qualified to do the job, but the girl was chosen as a publicity stunt.
Kicking field goals is not entirely difficult, even in a college football game!
