Former Tennessee linebacker Curt Maggitt talked to the media during the NFL Scouting Combine on Saturday and gave a pretty candid response when asked about the culture at Tennessee and if it was a hostile one for women.
The University of Tennessee is currently facing allegations that it encouraged a hostile environment for sexual assault victims and also faces a lawsuit saying Title IX regulations were violated by the athletic department. People believe that this "culture" has been bred for a long time now, but Maggitt clearly thinks it has gotten better.
#Vols LB Curt Maggitt says UT culture has improved from time he arrived: "It's very different..I'm proud to say I'm part of that change."

Most people would have sidestepped the question with a "no comment" or referred the media guys to the lawyers, but Maggitt faced it head on and hopefully that helps his draft stock when teams consider drafting him in late April.
