college kids drinking...old news!! Leave the kid alone!!

no - if he's under 21 its ILLEGAL ... it should NOT be let go ... what if it was your kid?

[rholl]

if it was my kid....I wouldn't want someone posting our business on an internet chatboard! Kids will drink....kids will get caught drinking. He was sitting in someones apartment having a beer. If this kid would have made a different life decision he could have joined the Army and be toting an M-16 in Iraq right now..

As quoted by Coach Fran....."Franchione made similar statements on his Web site following Pittman’s arrest in his “Friday’s With Fran” column, saying that players are told to “take care of your social life, watch each other’s back, and understand that everything you do is under a microscope with the public because when you choose to be a Division I football player you choose to live different than normal folks.”

When you chose to play in the public eye then you are also choosing to live in the public eye. If you get caught you must "suffer the consequences" and being written about on public message boards is one of those consequences. If you don't want the spotlight then give up your approx $60K scholarship and live how you want.
