Brenda Tracy "left an indelible imprint" Wednesday on the Nebraska football team, coach Mike Riley said, by telling the Cornhuskers how she was gang-raped by Oregon State football players in 1998.
"Brenda has suffered immeasurable pain and has shown the strength and willingness to share her story. Her story today was powerful," Riley said in a statement.
Riley was coach at Oregon State when Tracy allegedly was sexually assaulted by four men, including two OSU players, while on a visit to campus. The players were arrested, but she did not press charges.
Riley, who is entering his second season at Nebraska, suspended the two players for one game.
