I hope there’s something solid. It’s really a no-win situation for everyone involved. If the school waits until a verdict, it could take months or even years, so it looks self-serving to just keep a criminal on the team. If they suspend a kid for just being accused, some kids (like Gurley) could be wrongly punished for things they didn’t do.
I guess the middle road is to look into the evidence and make their own determination on the kids guilt or innocence. But again, schools can spin that process to the result they need.

“UPDATE: A source close to the team who is not an eyewitness says they learned Harris is being accused of forcing a female victim into her residence hall at the Springs Residential Complex then allegedly sexually assaulting her in the room in the early hours Sunday Oct. 5.
The source also said although the victim has a roommate, a bathroom separates rooms in suites in the complex, and it is not uncommon to be unable to hear what is going on in the other room. It is unknown whether the roommate was in the residence hall at the time of the incident.”
