Does anyone have a running tab on Hawkeye players that have gotten arrested under Ferentz?

Jesus Christ, every time you turn around there is another one getting busted for something and you never hear a word about it.

It's a big issue in Iowa City. There was a fire Kirk Ferentz campaign that got pretty big before they started winning again in 2008.

Well, Taz being an Ellis T. Jones III Award Winner will help with that :lol:

I don't know if we matched your worst three year arrest total under Tress yet.* Nothing about those stats makes either coach a bad coach in and of itself. I think Tress in one of the top two or three coaches in college football. It is the expectations and direction of a program that I care about. That some of the players fail to meet those expectations is somewhat of a crap shoot of various social factors - influence of family, peers, non-teammate friends, economic and moral upbringing factors, dumb-ass luck, decision to write a ticket versus give a verbal warning, etc.

Never said that we should not be concerned or ashamed of the bad behavior of players. I have not been able to reconcile the Josh list with the 2009 article list showing the breakdown of arrests. Maybe it is an "incident" versus "arrest" thing. I simply think that Urban gets a partial pass as far as character assessment for his 2005 class because he essentially inherited a list of players with seven or eight weeks until signing day. Feel free to take that any way you want. I know there are no two coaches I would rather have running my program than Tress or Urban. I do not expect you to agree with more than 50% of that statement. :biggrin:

Caveat: read some arrest list about tOSU for a period including 2003. From a skunkbear source, so may be B.S. But my point stands. Even if it were true for whatever statistical reasons, nothing about that diminishes Tress in my eyes. Again, it is the man and the values that I look to, not how his players follow that direction, as that can have results that are incapable of prevention by a coach, no matter how many times the core values are stressed.

Vols football players in brawl at bar | Chattanooga Times Free Press

There's nothing like having the owner of the bar admit to special monetary treatment for the football team. Don't get me wrong, it happens everywhere; but this is the type of thing that shouldn't be said to a reporter

'VIP status' probed | Chattanooga Times Free Press

University of Tennessee compliance officials are looking into comments made by Bar Knoxville co-owner Sandy Morton regarding preferential treatment of Volunteers football players.

If Bar Knoxville has been enforcing a cover charge for other UT students but not UT athletes, then the establishment has violated an NCAA rule regarding entertainment services.
NCAA Bylaw 16.11.2.2.3 states "a student-athlete may not receive services (e.g., movie tickets, dinners, use of car) from commercial agencies (e.g., movie theaters, restaurants, car dealers) without charge or at reduced rates, or free or reduced-cost admission to professional athletics contests from professional sports organizations, unless such services also are available to the student body in general."

If hundreds of student-athletes over multiple years have entered free of charge, then the composite value of those benefits would be in the thousands of dollars and would warrant a major violation.

Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley served as the university's lone voice Friday when he provided a statement that did not address looking into Bar Knoxville's "VIP status," but sources told the Times Free Press that Morton's claims already are being investigated.

So there's at least one advantage to committing to a school in a northern state. You have about a 50/50 chance that when you're arrested it will be cold enough to need a coat. Much more effective than paper & whatever-it-is that other guy is holding for perp walks.

charged with DUI and leaving a scene of an accident and other traffic
violations, according to jail records. Split end Tavarres King was also

Ex-football player for YSU pleads guilty to 9 drug counts scharges

By PETER H. MILLIKEN
[email protected]

YOUNGSTOWN

A former Youngstown State University football player, who authorities said was a major marijuana supplier to his fellow students, has pleaded guilty to seven counts of marijuana trafficking and two counts of funding of drug trafficking.

Tyler M. Griffin, 24, entered his guilty plea Monday just as his trial was scheduled to begin before Judge Maureen A. Sweeney of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.

Griffin, who was a cornerback in 2008, is a nephew of Archie Griffin, president of the Ohio State University Alumni Association and two-time Heisman Trophy winner, according to Martin P. Desmond, an assistant county prosecutor.

Desmond said he will seek a four-year prison term for Tyler Griffin, who he described as a mid-level drug dealer.

Having been arrested in Columbus earlier this year on a bench warrant for failure to appear in court in this case, Griffin remains jailed without bond pending his 9 a.m. Aug. 26 sentencing. The judge will have wide latitude in sentencing, with the available total prison time for Griffin ranging from two to 34 years.

Sad to see. I wonder if they'll find a way to drag Tressel, Archie, and tOSU through the mud over this.

Their punishment will be to pick up trash while dressed as Ronald McDonald. This will serve to deter any other Penn State athletes from engaging in this type of behavior.

Ole Miss RB Rodney Scott was arrested for fighting.

CFN

Ole Miss running back Rodney Scott was arrested Thursday for disturbing the peace after an on-campus fight.

Scott was taken into custody by police after fighting with Elmer Johnson, who was also arrested under the same charges.

H-C Houston Nutt says the incident was sparked over someone keying Scott's vehicle, and that Johnson was bragging about it afterward.

?That?s what triggered it,? said the Rebels coach. ?His car is torn up. But he?s got to handle it better.? Scott was released Thursday afternoon at 1:30 pm.

Scott played in eleven games in 2009, scored two touchdowns. He rushed for 138 yards on 35 carries, with a long of 25 yards.
