Yes, high school and college sports are a privilege.
Did your high school not have a Code of Conduct or something similar?
And I don't think there are any lower standards when it comes to assaulting women. You should just be done at whatever it is you do.
So if you work at a bank or as a plumber and you hit a woman then your career as a banker or plumber should "be done"? For how long, forever? That's absurd.
Playing college sports isnt a priviledge; it is a service. The schools need the service performed so that they can reap financial rewards and the players provide that service in return for coaching, training, academics, etc...
Other than the incident taking place in Feb and being caught later from the footage there is no record other than the charges that weren't brought against him until May. There are no details of any arrest and there is quite possible that Prohm didn't even know about it until after the season was long over, so keep reaching.
1 - THT was never arrested
2 - He wasn’t even cited for the theft until after the season was over. What do you want Prohm to do, suspend him for next years opener? Pretty good chance he had zero knowledge of the event until after the season. Hard to suspend a guy that won’t be there next season.
You can justify beating women any way you want.
You have justified ku's cheating at basketball before.
You are now justifying college athletes beating women and still being allowed to play because the "schools reap financial rewards."
Whatever way the wind blows in Lawrence, huh? "We good?"
Is he really comparing a $16 theft to smacking a woman around? FFS
I haven't made a single comment about the allegations involving Williams, let alone ade any attempt to justify them. You're jumping to those conclusions and that's a you problem, not a me problem.
Some just get triggered by my participation and start drawing their own conclusions on what they think I must be saying between the lines. Others just stink at critical reading skills.
No, I am pointing out that the post made about Prohm allegedly setting some moral standards doesn't jibe with that story not coming out until well after the season. I made no comparison between the two.
No, you are either not understanding the situation or purposly mis-representing what happened.
It is highly unlikely that Prohm or anyone associated with the MBB program knew anything of the theft occuring until the charges were brought forth. The charges weren't filed until after the season was over. If THT had come back, I have no doubt that he would have had some sort of punishment.
But keep deflecting from KU allowing anything goes for star athletes.
That's not absurd, that's exactly how real life works. Do stupid s***, get fired, go somewhere else hoping for a second chance. You bet your ass that if I get involved in DA, I'm both getting fired and going to struggle to rekindle that career due to background checks.
Oh, and college sports is definitely not a service, it's a temporary privilege for the players and a cash-cow for the universities. A "service" wouldn't permanently end for 99% of players when their eligibility is up, you'd think a real service for them would be for a longer term than just their time in college. It may work that way for the <1% who go on to perform this "service" professionally after school. For most players, sports is simply an extracurricular activity.
If I have details of the incident wrong then that is fine and a separate conversation. Looks like the store filed charges on Feb 18th; it doesn't state whether or not THT or ISU was contacted prior to THT being cited in May. So who knows who knew what when.
But again, I have made no attempt to compare the THT incident to the William's incident. When five different people reply to me on 5 different things then I wnd up with 5 different things being talked about. Dont think that I am trying to use one to tie to another unless I explicitly attempt to do so in a post myself. It was a post in response to a comment about Prohm, no more, no less.
Do us all favor and hide out in Self's toupee until basketball season starts.
Many of the folks here can handle a conversation about Big 12 topics on the Big 12 portion of this message board that includes people from outside the ISU fan base.
Many folks on here don't appreciate your constant shilling for Kansas and holier than thou attitude. As you might not be aware of, this is not a Kansas board.
By the way, you absolutely did compare THT to Pookie. You said that since Iowa State didn't punish THT right away that Iowa State fans shouldn't question that Kansas is letting Pookie off with 1 game.
I think you overestimate the extent of your personal fan club. Homerism is fine, when the message board bears the name of your team. Expecting it to be honored and accepted on a rival team's message board is optimistic. Honest evaluations of other teams are respected. Yours are rarely honest (particularly when discussing ISU, KU & KSU). You might as well own it - you're a KU homer (but only in basketball, which drops you even lower on the scale, IMO). And that won't win you any awards on an ISU board.
