Tyrus in trouble?

Sorry, I don't consider a 22-year-old, soon-to-be college graduate who would like a professional sports career a "kid".
As with all things even remotely negative about ISU, the Rag is all over it. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20130508/SPORTS0206/130508006/?odyssey=nav%7Chead
Not sure though, they may have missed the dangerous branch guy.

I would call it more a lapse in judgement. I think his character has been superb till this point. Ill give the benefit of the doubt here.
I'm going to assume he was stealing books to study for finals, because our team is full of exemplary men.
My question back to you, if you are an ISU fan, why don't you? Personally, I want to see the best for all the athletes at ISU, when they are here, and in their futures. Maybe you don't. I hate seeing them making stupid mistakes like this.
Simply said he stole 220 out of a wallet that wasn't his. I think it's disappointing when any athlete who get's free schooling, room and board, food does something to draw negative attention to the program.
Why limit it to just athletes? Why not be outraged every time an ISU student gets arrested? Or since he can put a round ball through a hoop it somehow means more?
So to answer your question... I don't care because I do not get wrapped up in things 18-22 year olds do.
Yes, anyone who does it should be ashamed, but a basketball player is a face of the school. One that is nationally known and can reflect poorly. Hell, they use their faces for marketing tools. It matter more. If Joe Schmo does it, noone will notice.
I'd say both. Don't they say character is what you are/what you do when no one is watching? No one was watching (except cameras) and he stole. More than a lapse of judgment IMO.
I would say the same thing if this was a 4.0 engineering student who didn't play sports.
Believe me, I'm a HUGE Tyrus fan and, outside of this, have no reason to believe he isn't a good guy. I just wonder what some of us would think of the person who took a $220 item out of our unlocked car....would we say lack of judgment?
