IMO the Fall out of this ought to Start with Mike Hamilton

Up to the sports information director rather than the coach that makes $2 million per year to recruit and coach the kids?

Bud Ford will clean things up.

So you want to try denying this happened? That might have worked in the old days when the KPD called the University and the University followed the 3 S plan. (shoot, shovel, and shut up).

The fact is, it did happen and it's all over the news, all over the country. I don't know about you, but as an alumnus of the University, it embarrasses me that we have big time ball players out robbing people at service stations and driving around drunk and doped up with illegal weapons in the car. That's why I think Hamilton needs to step in and come up with a serious policy to handle situations like this and make it up to the SID and not the individual coaches.

I'm not denying anything; I'm just informing you that your stupid assertion that the feds will be involved is woefully off base. They have to be able to prove that the players altered the guns; they can't. Therefore, there will just be state misdemeanor charges.

Pearl from KNS article: "I don't know who the guns belong to, and I don't know who the marijuana belonged to or where they found it...."

WHERE THEY FOUND IT?

Pearl: "I have very little tolerance for that(drugs). I've got a history with a number of players who were starters, players who are no longer here."

A HISTORY WITH A NUMBER OF PLAYERS!!!

This foolishness is why Hamilton needs to get involved. I think they honestly thought that if they got rid of Ramar they were gonna get rid of the problem. If fans are sitting at home or in the stands wondering if the basketball team is PUI (playing under the influence) or worse...there's a problem.

Guys almost every player in the O'Neill, Green, Peterson and Pearl era smokes/ed pot. Sad but true.

You really think that Brian Williams is filing the serial number off a gun because he's worried about his theoretical constitutional rights being theoretically violated?

You didn't realize that Brian Williams is the very intellectual embodiment of the spirits of Jefferson, Franklin, et al?

I hadn't thought of it until now, but perhaps these guys staged the whole thing as a test case for the constitutionality of the ATF, a public assertion of the 2nd Ammendment, and a public protest for the legalization of marijuana.

Are any of them Con Law students?

Tyler is planning to announce he's skipping the NBA Draft to take a leadership position in the NRA.

Willie Nelson and Woody Harrelson are always looking for celebrity supporters as well.

If the Feds do not become involved in that mess over the altered firearm it is because UT pulled a heck of a lot of political strings and put a stop to it.

The fact is had it been me who'd been stopped with an open container of alcohol, dope, and an illegal firearm my ass would still be in the jail and I wouldn't have enough money to hire enough lawyers to get me out of it.

Like I said in the first post. I understand college kids are going to party, drink, and be rowdy. I understand from time to time the law may become involved in that.

However, Armed Robbery, drugs, and illegal firearms are crossing a line that I'm fairly sure most UT alumni and fans aren't very happy with.

Mike Hamilton is the boss. He's the one that hired these coaches, He's the one in charge of the athletic department. IMO, he ought to be acting like the AD and not a spectator.
