TheSan Francisco Dons men's soccer team represents theUniversity of San Francisco in all men'sNCAA Division I competitions. They compete in theWest Coast Conference and have previously won national championships in1966,1975,1976, and1980.[2] They are coached by Chris Brown, who was hired in May 2021.[3]
In 2021,Sports Illustrated released an article on members of the men's soccer team engaging insexual harassment andsexual assault of students on campus. The allegations, which first came to surface in 2020 through social media posts, described students who reportedly were taken to "the soccer house" and engaged inhazing. Multiple former and then-current soccer players on USF's men's team were named. USF'sTitle IX office partnered with the law firm Hulst and Handler to assemble a 53-page report. In addition to finding that 11 individuals engaged in sexual assault, such 11 individuals also engaged inanti-LGBT rhetoric, though such behavior, contrary to theSports Illustrated, was not found to be pervasive in the soccer program.[4][5]
Manny Padilla was among the players noted within the allegations and reports. Then the star player for the Dons, Padilla's actions were eventually learned of by the university. Administration at USF found that Padilla engaged in offending behavior, though he was given a deferred suspension, meaning he was permitted to graduate. Upon the allegations surfacing on social media, Padilla was suspended fromNew Mexico United, then the professional team which he played for, following aChange.org petition.[6][7]
