My opinion does not matter, yet I am compelled to share it...
I was hoping we were talking about pot, disappointed it's coke, and "relieved" it's not heroin or meth.
The coke, by itself, is not pretty, but I can't say I'd care about any Northwestern student getting busted for it.
It's the "fled on foot" part that gets me to thinking that any hope he had to stay with the program is nil.
I would agree with anyone who would argue that being a scholarship B10 athlete is a privilege and their behavior is and should be held to a higher standard. I would also argue to some degree that coke is a "personal choice crime," as opposed to DUI, domestic violence, firearms possessions, etc.
So I guess when all is said and done, I am happy to defer to Fitz the millionaire to own decisions like these, and would respect whatever is decided.
