So, let's see. Urban has had few arrests at bowling green, Utah and Ohio State but had a bunch at Florida. Florida continued to have a bunch after urban left. Looking at the constants (Urban and Florida) and the variables (# of arrests), mathematics would dictate that the causality for the arrests is Florida, not Urban.

Deep thinking, logical analysis and rational explanations aren't exactly a strong point of the sports media or most fan bases....

Under the premise that "you are innocent until proven guilty" I'd like to see how many of these arrests lead to actual convictions, i.e. felony, misdemeanor, and/or in FSU's case reduced to a parking ticket, etc.

Florida State Football Player Charged After Traffic Stop

A Florida State University police officer pulled Williams over around 3 a.m. after Williams, an N.F.L. draft prospect, appeared to have difficulty turning out of a McDonald’s parking lot and keeping his rental sport utility vehicle in a single lane, an arrest report said.

Williams — whose legal name is Kenneth Williams Jr. — reportedly told the officer that he was coming from Recess, a local bar. The officer noted a strong odor of alcohol, along with red eyes, reduced dexterity and slurred speech. A records check showed that Williams had a suspended license, but Williams told the officer he was unaware of that.

Williams, 21, refused to submit to a field sobriety test or a breath test, the report said. The officer then arrested Williams and charged him with D.U.I.

Williams was released from Leon County Jail on $500 bail later Friday morning.

In November, The New York Times revealed in an examination of how the authorities handled cases involving F.S.U. athletes that Williams was involved in an early-morning crash last October and fled the scene. Tallahassee police officers did not test him for alcohol. Rather than being cited for a hit and run, a criminal act, he was issued citations for making an improper left turn and for driving with a suspended license.

I've rented cars all over the planet. Please explain to me how this clown rented a car on a suspended license. This isn't 1974. The car rental companies have SCMODS now.

Re: Williams declared for the 2015 N.F.L. draft after his junior season with Florida State. Based on his performance during Florida State’s pro day last week, he was projected by many to be selected during an early round of the draft. Apparently, he was the Saints pick in 3rd round, 78th overall.

Well since you asked....I'll guess that primary renter of the vehicle was his agent (or a parent) who would be over 25 with a valid driver's license.

or

The "rental" wasn't from Avis or Hertz, etc. Kenneth (P.J.) Williams might have gotten got the "rental" car from some friendly FSU booster who owns a car dealership/lot and didn't care if he had a drivers license or not.

Not exactly true. The headline reads Top 25 but the display cuts off at 23 - the Bucks tied the Huskers with 12 for the 24/25 spots.

Three teams tied at 23 makes that list the top 25; list would pick back up at 26, which is where we're at. Anyways, we're definitely trending downward under UM. No off-season arrests this year.

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned this list doesn't make any distinction in severity of the charges. An arrest for underage drinking (an abomination of a law IMO) is the same as arrest for rape or felonious assault.

I think this will be Spurrier's last season as the head Cock. Lost at home to Kentucky, getting trounced between the hedges, and the one thing he was supposedly good at is no longer good. There's no fun in the gun anymore.
