Funny

I think it's funny how TWO players screw up, and suddenly the whole school is under scrutiny. I'm a freshman at the university, and we have a fantastic university, minus a few idiots who think they're awesome for defying the law. Just because two knuckle-heads think they're badasses doesn't mean the whole school is into being unlawful citizens. We all go here and try to make the best of our educational experience while we're here, so don't call the entire school out on two athletes mistakes. It's not fair, and it's none of your business how the situation is being handled. They got in trouble with the law like they should have, and that was dealt with. Coach P is dealing with it, and that should be the only thing that matters, because he is their coach, their boss, and for all intensive purposes, their dad. He knows what is best for them to come back from something like this and learn from their mistakes, and he will do just that to help them get back into full play mode.

unfortunate

that a few dudes who thought they were above the law had to tarnish the image of first-class guys like Terrence Williams, Edgar Sosa, and all the other players with good, clean images and resumes.

We thought Pitino was right in letting Derek Character go. But he looks like he'd be an angel compared to his coach and a few players.

L-ville should try to recruit better players with good attitudes, like Jabari Hinds.

Great Role Model

What do you expect at a school like Louisville. The men's basketball team thinks it's above the law. The coach , the players. The AD needs to get the program under control. They are an embarrassment to themselves and the university.
