Sometimes violating a team rule is more egregious than being arrested.  Police officers are human and they definitely make a lot of mistakes.  Kids are arrested all the time for bogus reasons.  Having said all of that, I have no idea what the facts are or what HCDM used to base his decision, but I do know based on Marrone's track record that he thought it through and I absolutely believe based on his track record that he used reasons that go beyond winning the game against WVU. 
 
Some people will be cynical and think Marrone's decision is purely about winning the Pinstripe Bowl, and I'm sure Marrone is aware of that perception.  
 
I'm also sure that he is aware that some diehard fans will be concerned about the perception of the program and dread the possibility of this program being perceived in a negative way akin to the way SEC schools seem to operate with these types of issues.  That is an understandable concern, but if Marrone believes the arrests are less deserving of negative consequences than violating unspecified team rules, then I trust him and I admire him for sticking to his principles even though it may raise some eyebrows on the outside.
