college football arrests [are a useless and horrible thing to report]

[Ed-S: cleaned this up a bit because this is one of those things that lazy bad reporters report every year without any sense of context because these reporters are lazy and bad at finding information that isn't fed to them but still need to troll for views. Unbolded is the OP]

A report came out showing the schools with the most arrests over the last 5 years. UM tied for 19th with 14.  It should be noted that the data is a little vauge and slightly misleading as it isn't in relation to to just players, but people associated with the football program

[Ed: And there's no sense of scope, and some schools cough cough Michigan State and Florida State cough cough are notorious for covering these up, and smaller schools with fewer working beat writers wind up with far fewer discovered, so this ends up more of a list of which schools are in the news the most, not anything having to do with actual criminal behaviors]

(Not that that's a large number).  That being said, It's all over my newsfeed and several forums. Stonum is almost 1/4 of the arrests.

As you can imagine, Spartan fans are in an uproar about how we're a buch of criminals.  I've not taken the time to compare the data for the reasons for the arrests, but in my brief review, the data includes criminal citation.  I didn't know what that was, so looked it up.  That's when an arrest isn't made because the crime doesn't merit an arrest.  Jake Butt for instance was issued a criminal citation.  Is this an arrest or not?  What was Butt citated for?  The original research doesn't seem skewed toward anything, so this isn't per say a hatchet job on UM, but it very likely may be a hatchet job on the perception of crimes in NCAA football.
