Change.org has started a petition asking Bo Pelini and Jim Tressel to remove convicted Steubenville rapist Malik Richmond from the Penguin football program.

(Edited below for further detail, context)

"A Youngstown State University student has started a petition to remove Ma'lik Richmond from the football team, stemming from his conviction in the 2012 rape of a 16-year-old girl in Steubenville, Ohio.

Richmond and former Steubenville High School teammate Trent Mays were found delinquent in juvenile court of rape in March 2013, charged with sexually assaulting a West Virginia high school student who had passed out after a night of drinking."

"The Change.org petition, started by Katelyn Davis on Saturday morning, had garnered close to 6,000 signatures as of Sunday night and will be delivered to Youngstown State University president Jim Tressel and football coach Bo Pelini."
