According to Ohio State, both Stoneburner and Mewhort will be allowed to work out at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, but they will not be working out with any other Buckeyes. Stoneburner, for one, talked after spring football about looking forward to throwing often with quarterback Braxton Miller this summer. Now that won't happen, at least at the WHAC.

You are right. They need to be perfect. No speeding. No jaywalking. And absolutely no sneaking a pee in public. In other words not only do you have to be part of a small minority of adults that gets no reward for the revenue you create but you also have to do it flawlessly. Get with the program and quit ruining the game and society in general. It's amazing this country ever survived the last 200 plus years with criminals like him.

Yes it is, and I'm fine with that. Players need to get their act together.

I wouldn't have as much of a problem with it if there were standard punishments across the NCAA for various levels of public infractions. It is ridiculous that the QB at LSU doesn't lose his scholarship for being in a bar fight at 2 in the morning but Jake and Mewhort lose a scholarship and can''t practice with teammates for taking a pee and hiding from the cops. If they were constant offenders okay, but I don't recall either of them being in trouble before.

Just like the Sporting News said, Urban Meyer treats players differently. For these two favorite players, he dished out ginormous discipline.

What an incredible exaggeration of my position. I especially enjoyed the part where you mentioned the fact that college athletes aren't paid, as if that has a darn thing to do with this.

True, it was a minor offense and nobody is perfect. Most people though, while imperfect, are able to make it thru college without getting arrested.

Exactly. First offenders on minor minor deal and it's a big deal because former coaches and players made mistakes? C'mon man....

Take up your beef with Coach Meyer. This is his decision. He's trying to establish the way that he's going to run this program. The two players in question are guys that were going to be looked to as leaders this coming season. That is apparently not the example that Coach Meyer wants them to be setting, and he sent that message loud and clear with these suspensions. I'll bet anything that theses suspensions have more to do with that than with the way LSU runs their program.

My point was there should be standard penalties via the NCAA for public infractions. The NCAA has an opportunity to actually do something that makes sense and takes the punishment scenario out of the coaches hands and make it even across the board. That being said Coaches should have the ability to do more if they choose.

I have no problem with Coach Meyer putting his personal stamp on the program, albeit it seems awful extreme for such a minor offense for these two players.

Fair enough.

I would want no part of the NCAA getting involved in team discipline matters. They are already overwhelmed with the things they are currently involved in. That's probably a thread unto itself though.

I could have sworn I read that they not only pissed in public but they ran and hid from the cops.

you are misrepresenting their crimes

Under normal situations it would be, but remember that Ohio State is still under probation from the NCAA. If the program was not under probation I don't think these kids would have been punished as harshly as they are.
