Are you retarded or something? The players arrested in the article are from TCU, not UT.

I read the article. It was marijuana. Marijuana ain't a drug. You ever sucked dick for marijuana?

TCU has a problem with all those white kids on campus.

182: pay your players and they won't need to sell drugs to make money. ironic a straight-arrow coach got into this mess by not breaking the rules.

Let's consider that TCU is a private school, costing close to $50k/year to attend. Local news is all over this story. Suspects were leaving jail going to mommy and daddy's Escalades and Range Rovers. TCU's potential payroll wouldn't match what mommy and daddy give them.

Fark these kids. Dismiss them from school and don't permit them to return to the college. Shame them for life for throwing away a presitgious opportunity that your common folks couldn't possibly afford.

\same punishment for SMU kids possibly doing the same thing.

Another report said that they were dealing marijuana, cocaine, and molly which is aparently some kind of pure extasy. Also reported that 60 players from the football team failed a random drug test issued in early February.

These types of things are hard to get angry at the coaches over. Yeah, maybe they went after kids with character issues, but the coach is going to have a hard time controlling if kids are doing drugs. I am way more outraged over things like the Miami Shapiro mess, Penn State Sandusky trial, and the Ohio State stuff where the coaches were complicit with the cheating or raping and participated in covering up and allowing it to continue.

As long as the coaches in this case weren't helping them procure the drugs, and they kick these kids off the team (which aparently has already happened) they have done enough. The kids are in enough trouble as it is with the law. How many other schools would have let the kids keep playing or be on "probabtion" waiting for the final ruling before doing anything. Two of the players were defensive stars on the team.

basemetal: Meh, kids from big time football programs get in trouble all of the time. That's why I'm always against the long waits before the BCS bowls. It's hard to keep the kids out of trouble that long.

I've never found it that difficult to go a month straight without being arrested. Even when I was in college.

k4mi: These types of things are hard to get angry at the coaches over.

When a handful of players do something stupid like this? I totally agree. When 60 players fail a drug test? There's a problem with your football program's culture then, and the head coach bears some responsibility for that.

Guilty until proven innocent at TCU (new window)

THCU Stoned Frogs.

Jesus christ. 2/3 of the team? If that's true, Patterson's gonna be out of a job before this is over.

Finally, someone who sees the reality of the situation. The fact that the total enrollment at TCU is fewer than 10K students should be an indication as to how expensive it is to go to school there. The majority of kids at TCU come from affluent families. I think what we have here is a case of people with more money than common sense. Guess we'll see how much justice they can "afford".

Ricky Williams and Cedric Benson says welcome to the Big 12, braaaaaah.

Seems like they're acclimating well to the culture of the Big 12.

TCU had been on a crying jag ever since the SWC folded and the Big 12 formed. A lot of it was 'WHY WONT BIG MEAN TEXAS PLAY US AND GIVE US A CHANCE?!?!" (...well, until Texas did play them and beat the living snot out of them. then the whining shifted to the BCS and their bullshiat.) Anyway, I'm sure there are a few TCU fans who are convincing themselves that somehow this drug bust is Texas' fault.

Ahh, I see. That inference wasn't very clear from your post. It looked like you were saying UT was busted.
