Ohio state fan who ran onto the field loses scholarship......

Seems a little harsh to me. All the stuff athletes do and aren't punished nearly as severely :think2:

greedy schools

Steal first ask questions later

Our entire education system has become a sham.. it began 28 years ago and every year has.become exponentially worse..

This country does not want you to succeed.. they want you to be ENSLAVED.

How is this extreme. Stay off the damn field, and if alcohol was involved, then learn to handle your alcohol better. Good decision

I've gotta disagree with you here.

Let the punishment fit the crime.

Punishment does fit the crime, he didnt get thrown out of school, just got his scholarship taken away.

Seems overboard but it could be a good deterrent later on....but then again most drunk people won't think about it. I think they probably could have found a more appropriate alternative such as community service

 

[NickPappagiorgio]

Being drunk is not an excuse

How does Winston keep his then?

I dont disagree, I have a feeling we havent heard half of the stupid stuff that he has done.

What happens to the kid who runs out on the field who isn't getting a scholarship? Does he have to pay a $100,000 (or more) fine?

That's College.......if you are out with your friends at Fenway and (although it is completely wrong), you decide to run out to centerfield, should you have to pay a Quarter Million dollar fine? It is a professional sport after all, not just college.
