I wonder if this will cause the NCAA to investigate the Academy the same way they did with Colorado. The Midshipmen are lucky this guy was a Senior, because it would have hurt them next season really bad.

oops.

he was hard when he left the house.

hey Dr/fighting (btw, i hate your new screename, dog): are you of the opinion that if the NCAA wants to find something wrong at your program--they will?

we also need to have a discussion about a strike of the NCAA and the need for a union by major college athletes.

i'm bored, its raining, business is slow. lets get it on.

Nebraska has been investigated several times, especially in the 80's during the era that OU was cheating like mad under Switzer. The NCAA never found anything major even after Armen Keteyian wrote a hatchet job book on the program in 1989.
I tend to think most of the big programs can get away with alot if they are making money and generous enough to share it with the NCAA and the media. USC, Nebraska, Florida State, Texas, Tennessee, Notre Dame and Michigan, just to name a few have made it through some scandals over the last decade or so without receiving any major punishment. I personally feel the NCAA would rather punish schools for ticky tack violations than really go in and give another program an SMU like punishment again.
While I think alot of athletes are getting the shaft, I also think a union would just create more problems and arrogance amongst the student athlete population. Letter of Intent signings have become a sham, with prep athletes toying with teams and then leaving them high and dry for no obvious reason except for show. A kid from Missouri had agreed to come to Nebraska this year after the Huskers agreed not to recruit Jeff Cait who is going to Okie State, then this kid sends Nebraska a text message he is not coming and then signs with K-State.
Then the Huskers had this kid from a Washington JUCO that signed a letter and then signed one with Washington.

Commence Tailhook jokes, everybody!

We broke this story here this morning, but I wasn't going to post this because I didn't think anyone would care.

The Academy isn't as squeaky clean as it likes to act, but in general the athletes there are held to a higher standard than other programs. I think the Academy will probably take care of this well on their own, not there is a whole lot they can do football-wise since he's a senior. Several years ago four or five Midshipmen were booted out of the Academy and likely ordered to repay their tuition for an incident that included accusations, if not full charges, of rape from a drunken party off campus.

Rumor is though—and this is not to diminish the seriousness of the accusation—that the accuser is his girlfriend. The academy is rightfully keeping the lid on any on the record comments concerning the victim's identity, but I do work at a newspaper, so there is some word out.

The Uniform Code of Military Justice allows the death penalty in rape cases.

If I recall correctly, there was also (some) steroids use at the Academy. Don't know how many players, but I do know that former Packer/current Panther Mike Wahle was a middie 'til being expelled in his junior year for a positive (steroids) screen.
