He noted he was suspended by the school, for what it's worth.

The Demetrius Treadwell incident is being handled by Akron's department of student conduct and community standards, which says a lot.

[Sergeant Zip]

Apparently it was a five-line news release.

[Dave in Green]

UA made a rare Sunday news release.

[Zipgrad01]

Are you F'ing serious???

[UAZip0510]

Obviously not good. Time for some of these young guys to step in and step in...and hopefully Big Dog's healing up fast.

[zippy5]

George actually reported something and that was the suspension came from the UA athletic dept and then was referred to dept of student conduct. So wasn't grades if it didn't come from the school..

Why does this crap happen every single year

[LZIp]

Same story, different year. Go zips.

We're one of the few schools that hold our student athletes to very strict standards.

I've always thought of UA as the BYU of the east.

Yep. Diggs and Harney would have never missed time most other places. It's great because you want high standards but it sucks when it hijacks a season in November.

So this happens everywhere then, we're the only ones to punish our players?

[skip-zip]

I have a scary thought...

Remember last year when he had an issue, and it looked like he was going to just quit the team? Lets hope this doesn't go that far.

And for what it's worth, I don't mind having the reputation as the school who is tough regarding student/athlete behavior. It is something to be proud of, even if the results suck sometimes.

We'll rally behind the guys we've got, who know how to behave themselves, like we always do.

We discipline players far more than the majority of universities, yes.

Nobody is stopping you from moving or rooting for other teams.

I agree that we are more strict than other universities with handling misconduct (which I am happy about), but that doesn't excuse anything these players do.

"Wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it. Right is right even if nobody is doing it."

When will these guys learn and quit throwing opportunities away?

I think this will be a good season to utilize the "cupcake" schedule that we have. I know we were all not happy about the cupcake schedule we have this year, but perhaps it's the best thing. Most of the games will give this young team the opportunity to learn how to play with each, while being against relatively easy competition. I like the youth of this team a lot.
