Mark Schwartz making news out of nothing. College kids drink? No way!

 

[longislandcuse]

Lack of Insitutional Control Rahhh Rabble Rabble!

 

[Orangello]

Something about a bartender named Zach......conspiracy central

 

[OrangeXtreme]

They were hanging out at the Pizza Bowl with Carmine "The Big Ragu".

 

[cuseincincy]

Why has no one called for Buzz Williams's job yet? My goodness, underage college students , in an establishment that serves ALCOHOL! Good thing MU's presidernt is a priest or he might be in trouble too.

 

[scottynguyen]

Lock them up.

 

[Ghost]

Inter-collegiate athletics is a cesspool of weed smoking, underage drinking hooligans!

Dear god, what's next? Pre-marital sex and kids listening to rap????? Please shut this down before it goes any further! Save us all Yahoo!

 

[Rocco]

Schwartz was serving, according to sources (Pat Forde).

Anyone want to race me to the high moral ground after I finish my drink?

 

[SouthCampusHero]

Maybe they will be suspended from a game for a half of a half...

But really...

6 under age tickets
4 sexual assault allegations
1 assault and battery (reduced to a muffler violation)
half a roster comprised of jucos that were academically ineligible out of h.s.
Todd Mayo...a 21 yr old freshman that hails from a morally and ethically sound family.

...all in the last 18 months. For a coach that is new to the scene, he is on a hell of a roll. I mean, lets multiply Buzz's 6 years as a HC by 6 (to compare him to JB's tenure). Thats 36 under age tickets, 24 sexual assault allegations, 6 assaults and batteries, about 1 million juco morons with 6 Mayo's sprinkled on top.

Buzz Williams says he doesnt like to recruit kids that dont appreciate a free t-shirt. So, OJ Mayo couldnt hook his bro up with all that USC money? I wonder how many programs were even interested in that kid...?

I firmly believe he is one of the most fake coaches to come around in years. Humble pie one day, arrogant the next. yada yada yada.

"I'm shocked - SHOCKED - to learn that there is gambling going on on the premises!"
"Your winnings, sir."
"Oh, thank you, very much."

 

[HoustonCuse]

Was covered up too. Alcohol is a "recreational drug." I wonder their policy on that is, Pat Forde?

 

[orangenirvana]

Thank God for Yahoo! sports. How would we know the difference between wrong and right if not for them? Our moral compass.

 

[JOC44]

I didn't know Marquette had any players under 21.

Probably Old Milwaukee.

 

[EastCoast2]

Awesome how dirt on programs shows up right before the tournament... SU and pot... UM and alcohol

 

[zibby]

I don't know about you guys, but this incident sounds EXACTLY like what happened at Baylor. I can't believe that wasn't included in the story.

This is exactly what happened at Penn State also.

Just like SU's problems it would be nice if we had the details. However the MU players were not ticketed for consumption but for being in the club and under age. Who knows what the truth is. However we should be careful when claiming the high moral ground.

I'm not sure who is taking any moral high ground. Based on the responses here -- about a dozen punch lines, and 2 or 3 jabs at Yahoo -- it looks like everyone pretty much sees this for what it is.

That usually implies a charge of trespassing, so it's not like the charge is 'better' than underage drinking.
