Did I miss something? what did that dumbass homan do??? did he try to screw a goat at the county fair or somethin?
I may look at this in a way that is out of the mainstream but when you look at it, why should a college athlete be held to a higher standard then a college student. I know mugging someone, or raping someone, or beating someone up for a cell phone is serious stuff and should be handled as such the first time and not subject to the 3 strikes principle because you are hurting people. Mess up on that and your done in my opinion.
Public intox, or $200 vandalism, and OWI(as long as noone is hurt which is a whole different matter) are something that is a little different in my book because the only difference between me in my college years and the Mike Taylor's or Jared Homan's of the world are that they got caught and I didn't. I am not saying the OWI is not serious either because the odds are very high that someone could get hurt seriously or even killed. I am just saying I drove drunk, a lot of my friends drove drunk and by the Grace of God we were never arrested for it or killed anyone or ourselves. I'm just saying that, even though they are representatives of ISU, doesn't mean too many of us should be judging.
Not to get too preachy here, but good biblical passages pertaining to this would be "Do not judge yest ye be judged" and "He who is without sin be the first to cast the stone" at the prostitute everyone was judging at the time. I judge people way too much and am trying to not hammer on people doing exactly what I did in college only they got caught and I didn't.
I am officially off my soapbox.

When most college students mess up it is not on the evening news. Most also are not on full scholarship.
I agree, they shouldn't be. The problem is that they are. By the coaches, by the university and by the media. If I get arrested, the worst that happens is my friends see my name in the police blotter. Mike Taylor gets arrested and it's all over the news. That's the sad reality for people in that position, no matter how big or small the crime. It comes with the territory.
