Football Arrests

[Parrott]

This whole thing is stupid. Don't blame it on being young and stupid, I was once young and stupid and I never burglarized an apartment. If guilty, ship there @sses out of here. No one is bigger than this Cajun team. When you let stuff like this go on around your team, it will lead to more problems.

Anyone who has read what I've written and had to say about this issue knows that I have yet to offer any excuses for what's happened here. Right now, the most important thing is for the courts to make a ruling. After that, you'll see a decision on the football future of both players.

_ These things happen more then you realize, especially with the football team, it just doesnt always make it in the news. I seem to recall an incident a few years ago in the athletic study hall. A prominent football player, whom every one on this board loved, stole Danny Farquhar's sunglasses and ipod while Danny had gotten up. When Danny complained about it, the study hall admins were afraid to confront the athlete. Then Danny was threatened by the athlete and some teammates regarding the incident. I dont remember the exact outcome but I do recall hearing that Bustle laughed it off as no big deal. _

They happen because you are dealing with sometimes very immature 18 and 20 year old kids. I did some pretty dumb stuff at that age also. I don't think this is anything that defines our program or university as it happense EVERYWHERE.

_ I do too, but as I said earlier, if they are found guilty, it is essential that the Scholarships be stripped from these athletes. I'm not saying that they cant still try walking on, or that if they do walk on, they shouldn't be punished once back on the team, but I'll be furious at the idea of paying for their education when they absolutely disrespect fellow students. With that said, as per Parrot, since they are renewed every spring, they can have their scholarship revoked very soon and that could open up some scholies for some late signees, like how we got Yobes Walker last year. _

Please be advised, if they are guilty, as this is a felony they will be gone. I think a lot of it will depend on whether they have a previous record or not, whether they are apologetic and remorseful for what they did and what type of charges the victims and police agree to pursue. They may plea down and just get some probation if all of this takes place. However, i think the chances of them staying are low at this point. Bustle doesn't put up with this stuff too well. This is also going to be a big blow to the program because I love the motor that Cook plays with.

It disgusts me to see these 2 in vermillion and white - GET RID OF THEM! _

Can't you crop or photoshop the picture? Those guys don't deserve to be shown sporting the colors.

Very sad....I saw Cook at the Spring Game....seemed like a happy go lucky guy.

_ Scholarships are renewed every spring, so taking their money away could be an option.

That maybe.....but it's my understanding, that if a school (Not from a crime) revokes a scholarship, they do not have a have another scholarship to give until that one expires.

This prevents schools from yanking scholarships because I a kid doesn't turn out like they hoped, and giving it to someone else.

They can terminate a scholarship legitimately for academic or disciplinary reasons.

They do if an athlete violates a serious university code of conduct. In this case, the university does not have to let a student or student athlete convicted of a felony crime against another student back on campus. The athletic scholarship can be revoked and replaced due to criminal conviction.

I am pretty sure that scholarships are granted for a period of one year at a time, so the scholarship is only tied up for one year.

I like Cook, the kid plays like his hair is on fire...

Sad to lose him if it's a done deal...
