More College basketball/DUI news

"cited with drunken driving and failure to control after hitting a telephone pole"

"said he was making a food run after attending campus parties"

"also said he didn't realize he was driving with a suspended license"

This is the players' second alcohol related arrest, he was not suspended at all after the first time, and has yet to be suspended this time by Dayton head coach Brian Gregory.
Plummer is one of the top returning starters for Gregory & the Dayton Flyers.

Ironic that the Dayton University campus newspaper ran this editorial:
"Consequences of alcohol use ignored by UD???‚¬?„?s problem drinkers"

and one more report on a FB player

I propose an emergency NCAA proclamation.

The NCAA needs to take a very hard stand on this stuff, and should proclaim that any NCAA athlete who is arrested for driving under the influence is to be immediately suspended, then if found guilty, must be dismissed from the team.
I know it's a hard stance, but it needs to be done.

Every coach should tell his players that this is a ZERO tolerance rule!

It'll never happen.
Too many lawyers who'd swoop down, file suit, and the ACLU would help them.
They would claim the rule was racially motivated and unfair to those with troubled upbringing.
