Different rules for the big boys. Oh Lord

Nothing will change cause the Cops and the University have each other's back.

I used to live in Gainesville Fl in the early 80's. The things that went on back then with the Gators would make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. The football team were gods. Good ol Charley Pell was the head coach. Google him, quite the record at U of F. Oh Lord . That type of mentality still exists, obviously, in Florida.

...and a kid got suspended for multiple games for signing autographs.

Seriously.

Where is the Florida State apologist?

but but but that Brazilian guy missed a few study halls, sanctions for you.

NCAA must still be too busy researching Fab Melo to see this.

 

[tipphill]

ncaa is an archaic political, dead entity. once they mishandled the penn state debacle by not giving them the death penalty, they do not have any credibility. they need to be dismantled, and reborn with jay bilas as the head. everyone is sick of the archaic ncaa, except for PENN STATE,which were LET OFF THE HOOK by NCAA.

[Scooch]

Why are people talking about the NCAA?

This is yet ANOTHER example of how college administrations and local police have allowed major D1 athletics to turn into an obscene monster,

And let's be honest, SU is party to this as well. Maybe not *as* bad. But bad.

Fab Melo's worst crime had nothing to do with academics.

"There is no indication of any special treatment of the student-athletes by the officers involved."

FSU is an embarrassment.


Agreed with your thoughts, Scooch. That's why I want to allow the players to make money off their names/brand. Expose this beast for what it is instead of having crap like this linger undercover.

In Syracuse, the local paper does an in-depth investigation.

In Tallahassee, the New York Times has to come in to investigate.

Guess Syracuse, NY just isn't a "College" town.

FSU=FIFA.

Hit-and-run is bad enough. But if you flee the scene (leaving your car there, so it's not like you're even trying to avoid blame all together) and considering this happened at 2am you kinda have to assume drugs/alcohol were involved, ammiright?

This is crazy... the chances of the driver either being intoxicated or the car having a part in the burglary are through the roof.

The hit and run, as bad as it is, should have been the least of their concerns.
