I agree with you. Legolas Send a noteboard - 01/09/2010 09:23:25 PM
If the NCAA wants him out of the game for a year, then they should suspend him for a year. I'd be fine with that, no matter how you cut it, there is no denying that he has been charged with robbery on 2 separate occasions, and the traffic charge added in there should be more than enough for them to justify a suspension if need be. I just don't like the fact that they seem to be treating him differently because he's a big name.

And you have to wonder what it says about the college sports system, and its importance, when people don't even to consider for one second the possibility that maybe he actually wants to change majors in order to study something he might be able to use during the, let's see, thirty plus years of his working career which he'll spend doing something else than playing football.

Meh, I'm not sure it was the right call Brian - 01/09/2010 05:13:01 PM 273 Views
but in this case it was related to commiting a crime LadyLorraine - 01/09/2010 05:20:02 PM 257 Views
His crimes aren't really open and shut cases though...more the variety of wrong place wrong time Brian - 01/09/2010 05:31:21 PM 259 Views
Why not? That's how life works. LadyLorraine - 01/09/2010 07:13:20 PM 264 Views
The possession charge was a simple civil infraction Brian - 01/09/2010 08:40:54 PM 249 Views
the NCAA has their own drug policies outside of the law. LadyLorraine - 01/09/2010 09:04:11 PM 241 Views
The NCAA drug policies are a joke Brian - 02/09/2010 08:39:42 AM 285 Views

I do have to agree with the blount situation you mentioned above ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 02/09/2010 03:39:37 AM 246 Views

it's good to see the rules work properly LadyLorraine - 01/09/2010 05:17:25 PM 282 Views
I actually never thought about ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 01/09/2010 07:33:49 PM 259 Views
most of the rules were created due to the actions of football or basketball players LadyLorraine - 01/09/2010 07:46:00 PM 327 Views
track team fantasy sounds funny ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 01/09/2010 08:14:38 PM 255 Views
Decision appealed and reversed, by the way. Guess the NCAA doesn't agree with you after all. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/09/2010 03:45:40 PM 104 Views
Nope, no it doesn't. *NM* The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/09/2010 09:04:49 PM 110 Views
Karma, baby! The_Muted_Grimaud - 05/09/2010 06:10:46 PM 228 Views
It wasn't really his fault though that his defense stunk it up. He did his part. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 05/09/2010 07:30:42 PM 111 Views
