You can also **** on the streets in San Francisco.
What's your point?
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

I’m pretty pissed at max for letting the program and the fans down, and I was with his family just the week before the incident. They were all happy and pumped . Ugh.
This . Very selfish act by Max. Hopefully a lesson learned and we never his name again in off field incidents.
That’s my point. He’s wrong to assume everybody over 55 feels one way, wrong to presume all those under 55 feel the other, and wrong to insult everyone in adult communities. Hence, every word of the sentence was wrong.

The University process does not wait for the criminal proceeding to be over. It's impossible to know how severely a student would be disciplined ; it depends on the circumstances. The University reserves the right to discipline off-campus behavior (which this seems to have been) if it believes the perpetrator poses a substantial risk of danger to those on campus.
One of the dumbest comments I’ve seen in awhile
Max got himself in deep **** here. If any student fired paintballs at other, unsuspecting students… they’d likely have already been expelled.
Ironically a kid who shoots up a school this week had less of a punishment. Free on bail in a day.
Being out on bail doesn't mean the kid won't be punished. It just means he can walk the streets until his trial. Melton is in the same position.
"Innocent until proven guilty" in this case applies to exactly 12 people - those who will sit on his jury, if it should come to that, which it won't.
No. The University doesn't have to wait for the criminal trial and neither does Schiano. Either can take action in the meantime.
Of course. Do you think winning is the only important thing? Schiano wants to win as much as any coach -- but he also feels he has to do what's necessary to let his players know what is not acceptable. Schiano understands that his most important job is to prepare players for life after football.
We should probably give him a pass for being so wrong all the time. All evidence (his body of “work” here on the forum) suggests that he is part of the under 8 year old community.
None of us know all the facts. I think at this point a 3 game suspension was appropriate with the caveat that RU reserves the right to reimpose discipline based on the facts and results of the legal case.
Lol ok. Preparing his players for life after football is not the most important thing . He gets paid millions to coach football , not to prepare kids for afterwards . So winning football games is the most Important thing
Well, there are the implications of the legal system, but any violations of the code of conduct of student/athletes and/or any violations team rules do not have to be dependent on the results of the court.
I'm not concerned with the legal aspects. The NJ laws are nutty, but I'm convinced the final punishment will be reasonable. I'm more concerned with the fact that this was a selfish, mean, assh#l@ thing to do. What kind of a jackass shoots random people with a paintball gun? And a high profile football player on a team that relies on you? Super loser move.
GS doesn't want selfish jackasses on the team. I hope these guys learn the hard leson and grow from it, and when GS is convinced they have, they come back to the team and have great careers and lives.

Hard to see how anyone could see it any other way.
Not sure what surprises me more, Max's actions that day, or some of the posts here.
It was not that long ago when fans were proud of Rutgers having a top APR, and for having leaders with integrity like Brian Leonard, and we were able to put football's importance in context compared to things like Eric LeGrand's post-football challenges.
Imagine if some jerkoff college kid accidentally shot your child or grandfather in the eye with a paintball, causing blindness the rest of their life along as well as the financial burden of major healthcare?
Except nobody got shot in the eye and was blinded causing life long financial burden.
