A Michigan State football player is among 10 men charged in the theft of 104 Detroit Public Schools laptop computers valued at $158,000.

$158,000 / 104 = $1519.23

Those sound like really nice laptops for a public school system in a $300M hole. Tax dollars at work.

No shit. I'm a technology vendor, doing more than $3M in sales to public sector every year and I have never sold a $1,500.00 laptop in greater quantities than 20-30 to a school system. The only notebooks like that they end up buying are for Project Lead the Way and other, similar programs. I think those estimates are either being inflated or they got taken to the cleaners.

Jeff Knox charged with assault

PITTSBURGH -- Former Pittsburgh defensive back Jeff Knox Jr., kicked off the team hours before its 31-3 loss to Miami, has been charged with assault for allegedly slapping and choking a woman after she told him she was pregnant.
Knox, 18, cursed at the woman, slapped her and choked her Wednesday night in front of a dormitory at Chatham University, a smaller private school not far from the Pitt campus, according to a criminal complaint filed by Chatham campus police.
Online court records do not list an attorney for Knox, who played his first two seasons of high school football at Pittsburgh Central Catholic before finishing up at DeMatha Catholic in Maryland.
After Thursday's night's game, coach Dave Wannstedt called Knox's actions, "Very disappointing. Some things we won't tolerate. That's one of them."
Knox, a freshman, didn't play in the first two games for the 1-2 Panthers, who are losing players to suspension faster than they are losing games.

Rainey's charges have been reduced to misdemeanor stalking.

Without any prior history, that's probably a typical occurrence in a case like this.

No official word on Rainey's long-term future with the team, but Urban stated today that he will NOT play against Bama this week.

Illinois OL Thornton arrested, faces court hearing

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Illinois offensive lineman Hugh Thornton was arrested over the weekend following a fight at a bar and may not play this weekend against No. 2 Ohio State.

Illinois spokesman Kent Brown said Monday that coach Ron Zook has not decided whether Thornton will play on Saturday. He said Thornton is practicing.

Champaign County State's Attorney Julia Rietz said Thornton was not charged in the fight. But after allegedly admitting he used someone else's ID to get in the bar, she has filed paperwork to revoke his court supervision from a 2009 arrest for unlawful consumption of alcohol by a minor.

Two UConn players arrested for parking lot fight

Connecticut football team's place kicker and a backup linebacker led to the arrests of both Tuesday on charges of breach of the peace.

Kicker David Teggart, 21, and linebacker Jerome Williams, 20, were arrested just after midnight and were charged with misdemeanors following a fight in a parking lot at the Hilltop Apartments complex, where about 1,200 students live.

UConn coach Randy Edsall said Teggart, of Northborough, Mass., and Williams, of Burlington Township, N.J., were fighting each other. He called the tussle "crazy stuff that kids will do" and said any discipline will be handled internally, although neither player had been suspended from the team.

"I don't like what happened, but at least there was no one else involved," Edsall said. "It was just those two guys. No one got hurt. No one's got black eyes, none of that stuff. So it was like a cat fight."

MSU's Dion Sims pleads guilty to theft charges

Michigan State tight end Dion Sims has pled guilty to charges stemming from his arrest after being involved in a computer theft ring. To refresh your memory, Sims, along with others, were stealing computers and laptops from Detroit public schools to sell them. Some criminals like to steal from the rich to give to the poor, Sims and his buddies like to take from kids and keep the money for themselves.

The charges Sims faced were considered a five-year felony, but thanks to his cooperation and lack of a criminal record, his conviction could be expunged from the record.
