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.
I mean, there's really no denying that the transfer was just a way of getting to play this upcoming season and hoping to have a good year so he can get drafted. But...there's a very real chance that a guy like him gets into the NFL, makes a little money, and is out of pro football in a couple of years, and who knows, maybe Parks and Recreation is something that he's actually interested in. I doubt it, but anyone's doubts really shouldn't matter here, what should matter is that he fulfilled the requirements of the rule as it's written. If they really want to punish him, approve the transfer and suspend him for the season for his conduct.
The NCAA gets something right!

His crimes aren't really open and shut cases though...more the variety of wrong place wrong time

Decision appealed and reversed, by the way. Guess the NCAA doesn't agree with you after all. *NM*

It wasn't really his fault though that his defense stunk it up. He did his part. *NM*
