Because being charged isn't the same as being convicted? You remember that pesky trial thing we do here in America, right?
This has to do with criminal law, not the UConn Code of Personal Conduct (or whatever it may be called)? If the University saw fit that the charge was egregious enough, they probably have the right to take action up to and including expulsion. It looks like an appeal was heard and denied. Keep in mind that the University has an obligation to 10s of 1000s of other people, on the low end. Not just a sole member of the football team.
This is the same as free speech. 99% of the time, the Constitution (Connecticut in this case, not U.S. This is not a federal crime) protects your right to say whatever you want, but if you tell your boss to go filate himself (in the biblical sense), don't be surprised if you are relieved of your duties on the spot.
