Quote:
Letting a kid play that has a court case to settle sets a bad precedent that "If you break the law at Ohio State, you can still play."
Just a note, this has nothing to do with Henton, just thought I'd throw my opinion on the subject into play.

Understood. But you CAN still play if you break the law. There is a penalty, but once served you are back in good standing. Happens all the time.
My point is that Henton was effectively penalized not just for breaking the law, but for watching the wheels of justice grind exceedingly slow. That penalty being the difference between the penalty for being guilty of his offense and the number of games he actually missed.
And as already pointed out he could have been found innocent.
