Corey Batey and Brandon Vandenburg were found guilty today by a jury in Nashville and will face sentencing on March 6, 2015.

Batey was convicted of seven charges, while Vandenburg was convicted of nine charges. Rape charges can face penalties of 15 to 60 years in prison.

Two additional teammates, Jaborian McKenzie and Brandon Banks, were also allegedly involved in the incident in some capacity and face separate trials.
