ISU Player Suspended

[tornado]

If it's not a legal issue, why would a judge have anything to do with it? ...

don't know if you're being intentionally naive or what, but it happens all the time..
first - nothing's been published to say it is not a legal issue...

but I will give you an example - a kid on the college roster who fails a drug test is NOT a legal issue...
perfect example was Ray Brown who never faced even the threat of charges but indeed failed a drug test.
BUT if you are on supervision and have a failed drug test - I guarantee some judges would see that as a serious issue and potentially revoke bond and deny further supervision


and Delta - once again - nobody is arguing that we (at BU) haven't had our problems - can't think of any places that haven't...sadly it is all too common..
..but unlike the Memphises and Kansases - we've never had major bar-brawl incidents, rapes, terribly violent issues, repeated girlfriend-bashing ...
BUT all cases at BU are disciplined properly - ALL...and many of the violators like Clancy, Ray Brown, even Battle virtually never played again or NEVER played for BU again.

Can you name one who did NOT get suspended from games and have to sit out numerous practices/
No - you cannot name one - yet I can name several more at other institutions who never missed a single game or practice...
I still contend Bradley has properly enforced their code and disciplined properly...and I will continue to "throw stones" when & where it does not happen


If and when the serious stuff does happen here - nobody will be quicker that I will to call for strict and certain discipline and not the wishy-washy non-existent discipline that leads some players to disregard any risk of missing games and just keep committing offenses......

first of all... a failed drug test would be "A violation of team rules", not "conduct detrimental to the team".

There is no legal issue involved, according to ISU??™s first-year coach.

That is about as "published" as it gets... unless you are calling Muller or Benson a liar.

I would think the person best capable of deciding might be someone legal...but as I said - even issues that are not legal can affect one's supervision

I know most people want to make this a big deal, but it seems pretty much like a bad attitude that has escalated. We all realize Bradley is the only team that handles everything the way it should be handled.

..We all realize Bradley is the only team....

there are others....Evansville has a history of promptly dismissing troublemakers, so does Northwestern as Brandon Lee found out
