Here's how the big boys would handle it...the Bama's, Ohio State's, even the Notre Dame's (who actually had a pretty nasty on-campus rape case a few years ago.) Like it or not, here's how it's done.

Have a conversation with the young lady and determine what it will take to make it worth her while to not press charges.

No charges filed, no reason not to honor his LOI.

Bring the young man to campus and enroll him in a "fitness" program to help him understand why this type of behavior is unacceptable, an embarrassment to the program, and grounds for dismissal going forward.

Suspend him for any nonconference games where he isn't needed for a win.

It's sad and nobody likes it, but that's how you do it.

Agree and I also think it's time to move on. We need to take the Heppin

Route here without a doubt and we should do it for two stars or five stars but let's be clear the leash
is short.

It is also completely inbounds to give the young lady in question a really good idea of the type of "fitness" program the young man will be participating in.

You assure her that a weekend in jail would be MUCH easier than a few months of 5:00 AM wake up calls. It's not as though there is no punishment for the crime.

They would come up with a cool nickname like "Machine Gun", enroll the player, destroy their rival on its home field, and then play in the Sugar Bowl. Oh sorry, you meant Big Boy Programs.**

He should be punished but he shouldn't be ruined. Anyone sayin different is

Going too far.

This is a good informative post. What is missing is how to handle the rebel lawyers/booster/fans that will likely offer the woman some "guidance".

Josey, you are spot on. Face it, they're good at the reclamation projects.

Nice guys finish last, we need to get tougher as a fan base. This ain't Sunday School.

You teach the young man a lesson, and he gets bigger, stronger, and faster in the process, and still has a bright future.

Yes, that is a concern and we need to be prepared for this scenario. Hopefully

It won't happen.

I'm also ready for loveable losers tag to be gone. And the awww State fans are sooooooo nice after they have just kicked our *** in.

I'm sure I will get **** for my sentiment but that doing it the right way in SEC football just leads to getting your *** beat in by the committed every season.

Good post. It's just the way things are. Insist on taking the the moral high road if you want, but don't complain when we continue losing to the big boys.

Agreed. Another angle to consider, and I'm sure it's the same now as when I was in school, the upperclassmen have a way of handling things like this internally. I'm sure punching a girl several times will not go unnoticed by Nick James and AJ Jefferson and the like. There will be a price to pay, no doubt.

If we don't honor his LOI, then Mullen might as well quit b/c he really doesn't want to win in the SEC..

Guess I missed the video where Kelly beat a woman's *** in front of her kids, celebrated, and then offered to take on any other female onlookers. Link?

You do remember the rapist from okie state who played for y'all for two years

And who tried to take one of our guys knees out in the egg bowl after the game was over. We don't need any morality comments from rebels. You also signed a guy this year who allegedly finger raped several of his male high school teammates, should I continue?

You douchebags are coming out of the woodworks now. Here's an idea: start one thread where all your fancy-pants ilk can comment (see our non rugb baseball threads). That way you can ensure the group think, hive-mind is all on the same page & no one forgets the talking points. Do that & you'll graduate to free chat if you behave.

Warchief needs a good finger banging. Girls talking sports smack. Get that crap outta here.

Boom. Unbelievable anyone from that program would come here with some sort of morality scale. They truly are delusional.

Nah Chief, Kelly just fought with the bouncers & arresting officer. His fight was not as horrible as repeatedly punching a defenseless woman on the ground---Simmons is far worse and I stand by my idea of sending him to JUCO for a year with the message that he can clean his act up and come back to MSU in 2017 or stay thuggish and NEVER set foot on campus.

However, Chad Kelly & Ole Miss knew how to win the PR battle after Swag's drunken fight. The very next day Chad was in a Buffalo soup kitchen volunteering----WITH plenty of TV cameras around to document what a wonderful person he really is.**

Stand by the young man. Help him turn his life around. While doing so he can crush a few opposing quarterbacks.
