20. Michael Dixon

Michael Dixon was a Missouri point guard who averaged 13 points a game. Dixon was stellar point for Missouri however he was always caught up in trouble with his team. He got in trouble multiple times for violating team rules, the team would not disclose the information and the team would not let Michael Dixon talk to the media. Dixon was accused of sexually assaulting a female two years after the incident occurred. This is another example that explains to us that females are afraid to report on sexual assault cases committed by athletes. He is now on trial and the evidence is very unclear. The judge had this to say however, “When a case is brought before the Student Conduct Committee, any previous accusations against the same student can be taken into account and may affect the final decision.” It is not looking good for Dixon who has gotten a bad reputation at the University. The court takes into consideration of who the type of person you are. His past actions will most likely hurt him further down the road in this court case that is still an ongoing investigation. Athletes need to maintain a good reputation because in the long run it will help them in the community and if community members and media respect the athletes then a chance of bad publicity will not take place. http://gamedayr.com/sports/mizzou-guard-michael-dixon-suspended-indefinitely-amid-second-accusation-of-sexual-assault/
