I just read this thread from top to bottom and I gotta tell you it just breaks my heart.

The source of these problems is now very apparent and I feel sorry for poor Andy Geiger. Clearly, he isn't in control at OSU any more.

So, it had to be Tressel all along. Yep, it's a fact, this is Tressel's doing and you all know it.

C'mon you read it in ESPiN the ragazine and saw it on their excellent investigative programming....tOSU is a programme out of control, full of hoodlums and all other sort of criminal who are just brought in to win football games at any cost...And just look at what is happening across the country now...It's time to stop this national pandemic at its source...
STOP CORRUPTION AT OHIO STATE

Please. Before its too late. :shake:

Running count on Houston Nutt's 8-year tenure is at the end.

Arkansas' Hicks pleads no contest
WEST FORK, Ark. (AP) -- Arkansas tight end Jared Hicks pleaded no contest to a charge of public intoxication and was fined $200 before a bench trial in West Fork District Court was scheduled to take place Tuesday night.

Hicks, who is from Bartlesville, Okla., initially pleaded innocent during a court appearance last week. The public intoxication citation won't appear on his record.

Hicks, 21, was booked at Washington County Detention Center on April 18 and released an hour later. Hicks and two others were apparently going for a swim on the White River when they were stopped by an officer and arrested on alcohol-related misdemeanors, police said.
Police said the officer stopped the car in a park after observing it moving erratically; the driver, Steve Sprick of West Fork, was issued a driving-while-intoxicated citation; Hicks and the other passenger were cited on public drunkenness charges.

The university athletic department didn't immediately return a call for comment regarding Hicks' status with the team.

Hicks played 10 games last season, despite dislocating his shoulder in the opener. He caught eight passes for 98 yards and two touchdowns in 2004.

Hicks had off-season surgery for his shoulder injury, but was hurt again during Arkansas' first scrimmage this spring. He was held out of last Saturday's Red and White scrimmage. In his three-year career, Hicks has made 13 catches for 154 yards and has scored two touchdowns.

Hicks' arrest came just more than a month after Arkansas senior defensive end Clarke Moore was arrested and charged with driving under the influence in Farmington on March 12. Both Hicks and Moore are listed fourth on the post-spring depth chart at their positions.

Hicks' brush with the law is the program's 15th alcohol-related arrest in coach Houston Nutt's eight years with Arkansas. Hicks is the 30th player to be arrested during Nutt's tenure.

Check the tickets of the Taco Bell owner and the police chief next season. I bet you'll see a significant upgrade :biggrin: . I know, I know, glass houses and all that.

But...

Does anyone remember Coach Tressel talking to the police about his players involvement in their scrapes with the law? I don't know if he did or not, but it was never reported that he did. Kind of smacks of Tom Osborne inserting himself in the legal process back in the Nebraska glory days.

Prosecutors charge UW's Stanley

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin running back Booker Stanley was charged Thursday with four misdemeanors for allegedly hitting two people at an annual street party.

Four officers were needed to subdue Stanley, according to a criminal complaint filed in Dane County Circuit Court.

The team suspended Stanley after his arrest at the party, which drew a crowd estimated at 20,000 and resulted in more than 200 arrests, most for underage drinking or possession of open containers of alcohol.

Stanley, 22, was charged with two counts of battery, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

According to the complaint, Stanley pushed a woman who landed on her stomach. When she got up, he grabbed her nose and told her she was ugly, the complaint said. About 10 minutes later, officers saw Stanley punch a man repeatedly in the face, according to the complaint.

Two Madison police officers said they saw Stanley punching the man while holding him by the throat, the complaint said. Police couldn't immediately subdue Stanley until two University of Wisconsin officers helped handcuff him.

Stanley was released from jail after posting $950 bail.

The senior ran for 350 yards and two touchdowns and caught 18 passes for 146 yards and another score last season.

How is this only a misdemeanor?

MSU FOOTBALL: Reaves still on Spartans' roster

April 30, 2005

Michigan State sophomore quarterback Stephen Reaves remains on the roster, at least for now.

MSU officials confirmed his status Friday, despite his latest brush with the law, a Wednesday arraignment for operating a vehicle while intoxicated and an unlawful display of a license.

"We don't air our dirty laundry in public," said MSU assistant athletic director John Lewandowski. He said coach John L. Smith "will take appropriate disciplinary action."

Reaves, 20, from Tampa, is the son of former Florida All-America John Reaves.

As if the legal problems weren't enough, Reaves struggled academically last fall and winter, but told reporters at spring practice that he had turned things around. He ended spring practice in a three-way battle with redshirt freshman Brian Hoyer and true freshman Domenic Natale for the No. 2 quarterback role.

The guy still has his book bag on. Based on the stain pattern, it looks like he didn't even throw it off to return some punches. If someone has my face planted on their chest, beatin the hell out of me, I'm pretty sure i'm biting down until i get to a rib. He'll open the headlock real quick. :oh: :io:

Snyder wisely getting tough early in his tenure.


Marshall DL suspended indefinitely

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Marshall University defensive lineman Roger Garrett has been indefinitely suspended following his arrest on drunken driving and other charges.

"We view this as a serious matter and we are aggressively looking into it to learn more about the facts," coach Mark Snyder said Friday in a news release. "In the meantime, Roger has been suspended indefinitely and it appears likely that he could lose his privilege to play football for Marshall University in 2005."

Garrett, a 6-foot-2, 286-pound sophomore from Newton, Ga., was arrested shortly before midnight Thursday by Huntington police officers who were responding to a disturbance call. The officers heard a crash and saw a vehicle run over a stop sign. The vehicle stopped a few feet away from the officers and they went to check on the driver, who ran away, Lt. Mike Coffey said Friday.

Garrett was charged with driving under the influence, fleeing, obstruction, leaving the scene and not having a driver's license. He was being held Friday in the Western Regional Jail.

He had nine tackles in seven games last season.

Has anyone thought of undertaking the monumental task of documenting each infraction and matching it with an ultimate penalty.

With a lot of these it seems the common response is 'indefinite suspension'. But I'd like to know what the ultimate penalty is - one game, two games, extra sprints, etc. etc.

Then we could see who the disciplinarians and who the big talkers are.

The problem is... a lot of universities don't disclose disciplinary actions.
