#8 Xavier vs Cincinnati rival matchup brawl

[tornado]

An interesting result from the Xavier-Cincy brawl...

Xavier University is requiring all students who were there MUST attend a "reflection session"...
if they ever want to go to another basketball game

seriously -- I guess they have a way to verify who was there - maybe they had to validate their student ID's to get tickets..
but here's the requirement..

"An email from Xavier Dean of Students Luther G. Smith
sent Thursday to Xavier students indicates that
students who were in attendance for the Musketeers’ Crosstown Shootout
win against Cincinnati will be required to attend a “reflection session” about
the brawl that occurred in the game’s closing moments
in order to attend Xavier basketball games for the remainder of the season...

'The student section contributed to the hostile atmosphere that charged the
arena with unsportsmanlike conduct through unacceptable chanting, verbal
expletives, and objects being thrown onto the arena floor. As a Jesuit,
Catholic university, the behaviors demonstrated are not becoming of its
students and is in conflict with the mission, values, and standards of Xavier
University.'

The letter indicates that students who were in attendance for the game
must attend one of three reflection sessions next week. Students who don’t
attend one of the sessions will be ineligible to receive men’s basketball home
game tickets for the remainder of the 2011-12 season."

Typical Politically Correct mindless drivel. This is like punishing all your children just because one of them misbehaves.

Creighton is the same type of school and maybe they should have their students attend behavior classes as they are without a doubt the most obnoxious students I have witnessed in ST.Louis, several of them get kicked out of the Scott Trade Center every tour. because they do not know how to handle their liquor.

Then ISU fans would definitely be required to do the same..

I think I heard that they canceled this idea. They handled this whole thing about as poorly as can be. Thug U has moved across town apparently.

wouldn't it have been interesting...
it won't happen now since Cincy lost last night...
but had they won and advanced to the Elite Eight...
and if Xavier beats Baylor and advances..

these two brawl-tested team MIGHT have met in the FINALS for the National Championship!
