If we break the law we will get punished Just like they will in life. Is anyone saying they aren't or won't be punished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think average joe college kid who drives drunk gets away with it? These kids need to be held accountable for their actions. Again, who says they won't be?

nikeman49 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Hey, kids are going to be kids, anyone remember when you were 18 yrs old? Give these kids a break, football or basketball players have nothing to do with it, move forward and quit blaming coaches that have absolutely nothing to do with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it is, that's why we have courts...to judge people's bad behavior. No one supports drunk driving. I'm not sure what your overall point is. I understand being upset about the DUI, but you are acting like everyone is condoning it...no one is. He'll be judged in court and punished internally by the football team...what else do you want done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one disagrees with that, but there will ALWAYS be people that exercise bad judgement. How is that Stoops or Marrows fault as you eluded to earlier? 100's of people get arrested in this state every day, that doesn't mean that they think they are above the law no more than Kentucky Football players think they are.

GOREDDEVILS Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share Posted June 27, 2023 Are you or are you not considered a legal adult at age 18 in the state of Kentucky? I can debate law all you want if you want. Stoops and Marrow are not but they do seem to be bad evaluator's of character. Something must be done about that as it looks bad on Kentucky football and hurts Kentucky recruiting is the overall point I am trying to get at. I am a Kentucky fan above all else and want Kentucky to succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kid is age 20 and old enough to know better. There is a difference between 20 and 18. I am sure the fact fact he was underage drinking didn't set to well with the uppers at UK. He also cost himself a dui because he was under 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one would disagree with the fact that the players who made these mistakes are adults according to the the law and made poor decisions. No one would also disagree that the players, and anyone for that matter, have ways to avoid these mistakes. The problem with your argument is that you clearly are trying to blame and criticize Stoops and Morrow for the decisions that, unfortunately, countless 18+ individuals make on a yearly basis. You are painting a program with a very broad brush based on the actions of a few; that, to me, is an ignorant decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask the coaches if bad publicity negatively affects recruiting and I think you will get your answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are making a biased assumption that Stoops and Co. recruit players with bad character when in fact these same things happen at every single university across the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
