Stop putting mud on the front porch

OK so some young folks smoke some weed or catch a buzz in their dorm room. No meaningful disturbance and no damage.

There's something seriously wrong with a school that relies on police blotters and public ridicule to handle adolescent indiscretion. Why not just bring back a punishment yoke?

Nice thread title. Haven't heard that phrase since my Step-Dad from Conway Ark.

Except those young folks are student-athletes at the University of Nebraska. To me this isnt about the weed. It's about players saying through their actions......" I dont give a F about the rules or the impact on the team or program......I will do whatever I want, wherever I want."

Wow...talk about just a bit of an overreach on things... And another WOW!

SO ok you're wrong. There just normal young men and they don't need to be called out in newspapers because they are doing whet kids do and they don't need citations.
Lots of us got through our younger life just fine without the excess punishment.

 

[Huskertransplant]

I agree with one thing that was said...."they are normal young men." Smoking pot does seem to be the norm in dorm rooms.

 

[Crazyhole]

ITS POOP AGAIN!

 

[HuskerHusaria]

So... you want public physcial chastisement....

Ok. Which century are you from?

P.S. You're f-ing insane.

 

[Huskertransplant]

Who wants public physical chastisement? I dont see anyone saying that in this thread

Because some short dicked RA had is feelings hurt and is reporting everything while he is eating cheetos and rubbing his first growth of whiskers, doesn't mean a fella that partakes, is a guy that puts the team second.

Cannabis should not be a schedule 1 drug. It is only listed as such because of the drug drug companies.

Cannabis will eventually be legal in Nebraska also. You know why? Becuse it's not a chemical that if mixed with apple seeds can make cyanide.

Time for Moos to talk to the Campus police.

Beav made such a great point earlier. WhoTF is smoking weed and inhaling smoke into your lungs when you can do edibles. Smoking weed is soooo 80s.

Hey, if you break the law, you risk getting caught. True for anyone. Not rocket science. If you have some fame because football is king locally and you're a name player, when you get caught your name goes in the news. Not rocket science. You decide what's important, your illegal habit, or your sport. No guarantee you get both. Not rocket science.

But they are not normal young men, they are student athletes getting a free education. If they don’t want to be called out in the local media, they can quit football and become normal students paying their own bills. The spotlight comes with the territory. Just like pro athletes, politicians and entertainers.

So Johnny tell the class what your dad does.

Teacher he is very important and sniffs bedroom door cracks.

 

[huskerssalts]

I could care less. It’s only weed (equal to drinking beer in my eyes) and they weren’t drinking or smoking and driving...so I say...slap his hand and let’s move on. I’m just ready and excited to see the young man tear up the BIG defenses. Him, Speilman, Martinez and a number of our 4 star WRs are about to get down and dirty.

Pops is dead. He's been dead since I was a baby of 11 nonths.

I haven't seen anything about the school making a judgment. Has the school done that? that would be newsworthy. Can you site a source?

I haven't made any judgments. I have said let the legal system play it out, and that is what I have heard SF say. So, it seems your statements may be judging the school pretty harshly by the same token by which you criticize the school for "judging" the athlete.

The school, I believe has published rules for behavior on its property, similar to what a landlord-tenant contract would accomplish. If you live in someone else's property and violate the contract, the landlord takes the leasee to court and gets them evicted. As someone here has stated, it's not rocket science, or life and death, for that matter. If it's good for other students, then it's good for athletes.

The RA was doing the job he was contracted to do. When I was a student in the dorms, I had to abide by the contract or be evicted, also. It's just NOT that hard to do.

When I was a student some students were caught drinking booze in the dorms and were evicted, and in the end, they had no case to keep themselves in the dorms. It seems to me, an athletic scholarship is just another form of contract. Let it play out and let the chips fall where they may.

Ok we can all pretend you didn't write that.

I mean... you didnt say "no-takesy-backsies"

 

[gw2kpro]

One option that's always out there is to follow school and team rules.

A second option is to not be an idiot if you don't like that option. When I was an RA that's what I asked of my residents. About 95% of them were smart enough to figure it out. 5% of them never were.

 

[Hoosker Du]

So you just take less. No one says you have to take an entire brownie or gummie. It doesn't matter anyway...apparently edibles are a felony in Nebraska.

We are such a redneck state. I don't say this because I partake in weed or edibles. It's not my thing. I say this because we are one of only 3 states where all forms of marijuana are illegal. How in the year 2019 has a state not passed a medical mj law? We're still living in the Dark Ages.

I'm guessing things were way worse back in the 90's when we were actually good. Back then Nebraska football meant something and everyone knew their place. I have a feeling Tom was the first place anything was reported and it stopped at him.

Osborne also didn’t have a 24 hour news cycle, smart phones in the hands of every person at a party, social media everywhere.

SO ok you're wrong. There just normal young men and they don't need to be called out in newspapers because they are doing whet kids do and they don't need citations.
Lots of us got through our younger life just fine without the excess punishment.

Here is the thing though, most normal young men didn't have a video made about there commitment to a school like Robinson, or have their commitment broadcast live on ESPN like Mo Washington. Is pot a big deal? No it isn't, and I could care less about it, but it is still illegal in Nebraska and it is probably against team rules. You don't get to pick and choose what is put in the papers or covered by the media. If you want to be or are a high profile athlete you have to realize this and either live your life accordingly or just deal the the repercussions.

We may not think it is that big of a deal, but it is something that will stay with this kid if he wants to go to the league. Stan Morgan's slight little brush with a weed incident in Florida is probably a pretty big reason he didn't get drafted and he cost himself some $'s because of it.

To me this also begs the questions of, if we go down the road of paying college football or basketball or college athletes in general how is a situation like this handled. Do you fire the kid, do you suspend him or her, are they suspended with our without pay, do you dock their pay? Do we the let college players union handle it, how do you set up a union for college student athletes?
