3 - I agree bad dudes (allegedly) but I was speaking in terms of T9. Failure to provide accommodations under Title IX is why Baylor has made several settlements to assault victims. When the girl told the AD and football people those obligations then existed for Baylor under Title IX. No such liability would exist for any number of poor behavior.
If there are outstanding charges, most coaches are going to suspend the athlete for VoTR and tell their AD. That information getting outside of the athletic department would 50/50. Even if it does, blue blood boosters and presidents don't care that much. If charges weren't filed, I'd say the athlete gets suspended 20 percent of the time (again, VoTR) and it's kept in house. Most programs have a way of jettisoning the bad apples with little to no information ever leaking.
I agree that the responses were often inadequate. I don't agree that a university should shoulder that burden without assistance from the actual judicial system. Not every case is equal. Often times, we have kangaroo courts led by STUDENTS handling these matters.
