I also do not think that 90% of kids are receiving free rides either though.
Certainly you understand that as a representative of the University and the basketball program, the players must be held to a higher standard.
Do you really think no other college student in that class ever thought those things other than TB.
We have way too many thought police suddenly. I prefer to save my indignation for something more deserving.

I'll ONLY be satisfied when this stuff doesn't happen in the first place.
And why single me out. I'm not alone in my anger and disgust for his apparent lack of moral fiber and common sense.
Do you want ANYONE to represent BU by demeaning women and saying the things he said?
I don't.......

He's had TWO previous suspensions correct? JL says there IS a policy in place about social media sights and he crossed it.
So, you get to play but not start...sorry...BIG DEAL. He NEEDS to sit...he will and his teammates should be mad as he** at him.
Charm school no but its an institution of higher learning and life lessons need to be taught. What he did could very well get a person canned in the businessworld. I think BU and ANY university is responsible for teaching these kids more then Algebra, English and World History.....they also need to learn basic life lessons.
I ONLY hope its not to late for TB...I mean, whats next.
IF he learns from another benching then good. I'm just wondering if he can stay clean for TWO more years.

Originally posted by Beninator View PostBut DRU, this is a very minor issue... If we are talking about the picture and his comment about the picture, I will admit that I got a laugh out of it... and DC is right... I bet other people have thought the same thing... The other remarks are what they are.. Should he be held out of the entire game for this... NO!
WOW Ben, we are worlds apart here my friend. I guess we will have to agree to disagree.
And, if its "a minor isue"....why would he be held out of the game and WHY would JL be so mad.

Very hard to hear about this again with TB. I have read a few of his tweets and while I agree that other students may have thought the same things, that doesn't make it right for him to do it. I understand he is only 20 years old, but if the people around him had the attitude of this is no big deal, he is just a kid, others felt the same thing, etc..when does he learn? If he is missing the game tonight, then I applaud JL for the decision. Someone has to step up and reign him in.
As for this hurting the rest of the team....you are right it will. It is a privilege to be a part of any team, and there are rules and expectations to meet. You don't meet those, then there is punishment. I teach and coach and my rules are simple, make the grade or sit. No practices, no games....does this hurt the team? yep, but those kids learn what is truly important. If this was my wife or daughter and I found out that someone was taking photos of them and posting them without their knowledge and making those comments...I'd be livid.Some see a hopeless end, while others see an endless hope.

But there is still nothing illegal or heinous here. We have some people suggesting he broke laws and should be expelled for goodness sake.
I don't understand all the animosity and anger. The coach will deal with this, I am not worried.

I was hoping for DSE to start now and this whole TB deal could seal it. I would also like to see MK get decent minutes.

You guys said it all perfectly! I agree 110% I just have a hard time figuring out why others can't. IF this were a situation at ISU, UT, KU or UK it would be a capital offense to some. This is Bradley for God's sake! We're better than that!! This isn't some second rate state university!
