The behavior of the players directly involved in the Sept. 1st incident was disgusting, immoral and revolting. Blame hip-hop culture, a sense of athletic entitlement amongst other things. That said what is reasonable punishment for these transgressions is debatable. The evidence was not enough for the county attorney to bring charges and the involved woman's recollection was sketchy to say the least. The police interpretation of the available video was that she was a willing participant.She also pled the 5th during a court hearing involving the restraining order. The EOAA findings included much interpretation and inference. The composition of the EOAA was 5 women and 1 man- what was their mindset going into the process-militant feminist? 4 players were suspended for 3 games . What the "last 5" did is not at all clear. Expulsion under the circumstances seems excessive. Suspension for the bowl game is reasonable IMO for all involved in part because there is not enough time to get clarity. The public humiliation and bowl game suspension seems more than enough for the "last 5" unless some new damning evidence is presented.
