Brandon Vandenburg and Cory Batey were convicted Tuesday of raping an unconscious woman in a dorm room in 2013.

The men were each charged with five counts of rape, and two counts of sexual battery for a 2013 incident in which they raped an unconscious 21-year-old student.
Vandenburg took photos and videos of the incident, which were recovered and shown to jurors during the two-week trial.
The men were drunk the night of the rape, according to their attorneys. The victim was drunk as well, and wasn't aware that the rape had taken place until Vanderbilt's investigation had already began, the Associated Press reported.
The incident came to light when Vanderbilt officials reviewed a dormitory surveillance video following a report of vandalism. When they reviewed the footage, they saw an unconscious woman being dragged into a dorm room. That is when they called Nashville Police, who opened an investigation.
Detectives asked the woman to get a physical examination, but she initially refused, still not knowing what had happened.
Vandenburg and Batey face years in prison when they're sentenced in March. Two other former players are facing charges in the incident, although their trials have yet to be scheduled.

During Super Bowl Media Day on Tuesday, Marshawn Lynch answered every question with the same response: "I'm just here so I won't get fined."
Lynch's teammates — especially Richard Sherman — have supported Lynch's refusal to bow to nonsensical NFL policies.

This is not a drill: Bill Belichick wore a suit.
During the AFC Championship, during which the NFL confiscated and investigated 12 footballs used by the Patriots, Bill Belichick stuck to his usual uniform of an ill-fitting sweatsuit and Dad Socks.

Robert Kraft was a surprise opening act for the Patriots’ first press appearance for the Super Bowl.
Shortly after landing in Arizona — and narrowly missing a blizzard in New England — the Patriots held a news conference in which they addressed the ball deflation scandal.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft — who made a surprise appearance before coach Bill Belichick — doubled down on the team's assertion that the footballs were under-inflated as a result of the weather and other outside elements.
On Saturday, Belichick headed an entire news conference in which he attempted to build that exact case. But scientists and even Wilson, the company that manufactures NFL footballs, have disputed Belichick's explanations.
Kraft said he has seen nothing but integrity from Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady over the 15 years they've worked together. He also blamed "media leaks" for what he called a one-sided conversation about the controversy.
He then — somewhat aggressively — suggested that if the NFL's investigation absolves the Patriots of wrongdoing, the league should apologize to the team, Belichick, and Brady. It was a bold demand.
Yesterday, during a Super Bowl press appearance, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman said he would be surprised if the NFL found the Patriots guilty of wrongdoing because of Kraft's close relationship with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. He was largely referencing a photo of Goodell at Kraft's home after the AFC Championship that was (boldly) tweeted out by the official team account.
Sherman continued: "You talk about conflict of interest. As long as that happens, it won't affect them at all. Nothing will stop them."
When Belichick took the podium, he was quickly asked about the recent report that the NFL had obtained surveillance video of a locker room assistant carrying the footballs through Gillette Stadium during the AFC Championship game.
The coach, though, quickly swerved around the question and stuck to asserting that his only focus this week is the Seattle Seahawks.
Brady also largely stuck to discussing the upcoming game, saying only that Kraft had said "some very nice words" between getting off the plane — and presumably reading about the locker room attendant report — and the news conference.

It’s unclear, though, if the person of interest committed any wrongdoing, sources told FOX Sports.

The league determined that 11 of the 12 footballs the Patriots used while playing the Indianapolis Colts were under-inflated by a significant amount.
The Patriots ended up winning the game 45-7.
Under-inflated footballs can provide a competitive advantage because they're easier to grip and throw.
The first under-inflated ball was noticed when Patriots quarterback Tom Brady threw a pass that was intercepted by a Colts defender, who notified an official.
The NFL has since launched an investigation into who deflated the footballs. Teams provide 12 footballs bearing their logo that are tested two hours prior to kickoff.
Sources told FOX Sports on Monday that there is surveillance video showing the locker room attendant taking the footballs from the official's room into another room at Gillette Stadium before bringing them out to the field.
The league, though, is still trying to determine if any wrongdoing occurred.
The investigation into the deflation remains ongoing.

“I want to be out of time out,” the disgraced cyclist told the BBC.

Lance Armstrong would choose to dope again if he were faced with the same drug culture he says existed in cycling in the 1990s, the disgraced cyclist told the BBC.
In his first television interview since publicly admitting to Oprah Winfrey in Jan. 2013 that he used performance enhancing drugs extensively during his career, Armstrong told the BBC that he would change his combative behavior at the time, but not his decision to dope.
"If I was racing in 2015, no, I wouldn't do it again because I don't think you have to," Armstrong said. "If you take me back to 1995, when doping was completely pervasive, I would probably do it again."
"When I made that decision, when my teammates made that decision, when the whole peloton made that decision... It was a bad decision at an imperfect time, but it happened," he said.

In 2012, the drug cheat was stripped of his record seven Tour de France titles and banned from competitive cycling by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
Armstrong, 43, told the broadcaster that his decision to return to competitive cycling was the "biggest mistake" of his life, saying it built a "bridge" for anti-doping agents to investigate his past doping.
However, he also said he it's time for people to forgive him for cheating.
"I'm not going to lie to you. Selfishly, I'd say yeah we're getting close to that time. But that's me," he said. "Listen, of course I want to be out of time out. What kid doesn't? "
