why do we always seem to want to blame everyone and everything on a person or institution and not the person doing the crime. It is illegal to buy and sell cocaine - pure and simple. I know it - you know it and he knew it and decided to take his chances. It is not the school or the justice system - it is all on him

FYI our drug criminalization policies have created an entire prison society and private industry. It’s not cool at all. Imagine if we took the money away from law enforcement (drug targeted) and prisons, and spent it on education and societal improvement .....

I’ve always felt like if every able man would mentor a kid from the inter city or other similarly difficult situation that would could turn the country around in one generation.

Not shocked by this at all. Most of these dudes in D1 think they are going pro, and when they do it never lasts long, and after football they have no real plan. Same for those who never make it pro. Those football player degrees are pretty much worthless.

That being said, 9 years for moving way less than a pound of coke seems excessive.

Agree that it seems extremely excessive. In small town Tennessee the same people that have been busted with large amounts of meth more than one time haven't done anywhere near that. Must have a zero tolerance even with cocaine there.
