This came up on my Twitter feed and it's a doozy. Seems like Arizona football has more than a couple swell guys on the roster who (allegedly) decided to go all Sparty and beat women. This one sounds a good amount worse than the potluck showdown in East Lansing. I have a feeling that they won't be dealt with in a Dantonio manner:
Yikes... an ugly event for

I agree, but hopefully Rich
I agree, but hopefully Rich handles that opportunity appropriately. I remember thinking that Dantonio applied very different punishment standards to those who were and weren't expected to contribute on the field (giving second chances to guys like Cunningham and Rucker that weren't as generously offered to others).
MSU, where second chances get
MSU, where second chances get second second chances, so long as you contribute.
Wow
All I can think is that RichRod just can't catch a break...
I'm pretty sure Rodriguez
I'm pretty sure Rodriguez will deal with these players swiftly and justly. But on a side note, after reading that article, there are going to be a LOT of women over the next few days who are going to be defending their boyfriends in the next few days. "I know I have a black eye, Daddy, but I swear my boyfriend's not beating me!" Yeesh. The only woman I've ever known of who deserves to be punched in the face is Casey Anthony.

Clearly none of you every
Clearly none of you every payed attention to his record at wvu, he was notorious for giving things like 1st quarter suspensions to his starters if they committed a violation before a big game. He did a good job at Michigan and I think that reflects the culture here but richrod does not have a long record as a strict disciplinarian
A 1st quarter suspension
could be a strict punishment depending on the violation. I think you need to present more facts.

Truth be told, if anyone had a cause to do that, it was her.

That is still nowhere near as bad as slicing a man's penis off.

I'm assuming this is coming from a person who has never been raped and physically abused over a long period of time.
You're right.
Also, I don't view rape as equal or worse than dismemberment(which I assume you haven't experienced either).
Looking back
Bobbit getting his bone sawed off,paid off nicely. He argueably doubled his stature, made some quality wholesome movies and is pretty wealthy now since his wang got removed.But i would not trade places for him for any amount of money/hookers.
Hey...
Those actresses on his video weren't hookers. They were temporarily displaced thespians paying their way through their 5th year of community college.

Thanks, Magnus. The board really needed a "when is it actually okay to punch women in the face, and who should be that face?" discussion this morning.
You're welcome.
Tomorrow
You're welcome.
Tomorrow morning, look for my thread on "When is it okay to hit another man in the nuts?" and then "When is it okay to run over your neighbor's pet?"

I think this goes without saying, but this is a time where RR really needs to take a stand early in his tenure there. I can't see him dealing with this like Groucho Mark would.

Yeah, I tried to avoid the RichRod mention in the OP, but I'm sure he'll drop some heavy discipline on those kids. For his many faults, lack of discipline was not an issue. He'll handle this well.
Hope Rich Rod gives these
Hope Rich Rod gives these guys the Feagin treatment. Assuming they're guilty, of course. The first season is always lost under Rich Rod anyway; it's just a matter of how fast and high he can turn it around.
Very disturbing
and quite ugly. Hopefully it will be dealt with quite swiftly with punishment that justify the crime.

Probably not.
While Auburn's 81 points are far and away the record, the TCU score this year is already the second highest number. I'm thinking that these arrests will put Zona into second place given that there was assault(s) and multiple players arrested. I'm guessing that they will be around 15 points (depending on bonus points). That's still not even close to the 37 points that TCU has.

Looks like Ebbele was a starter last year at OT, Tevis was in the 2-deep at safety, Bender and Grandon were RS soph and Fresh respectively... not sure if they played much. (all according to Rivals depth chart)
Yikes... an ugly event for sure. I hope this doesn't slow Rich Rod down in his efforts. I don't know the caliber of the players involved.
