Athletes who do wrong should not get off easy. But that doesn't diminish the need for punishment in this instance.

There's a big difference between should and do.

This situation looks pretty pathetic when it's juxtaposed with Urban Meyer's football team.

Pot stirrer imo.

But if you're not saying that just to see what happens, the force was sufficient to take down a man who could be posing as fan but had other ill intentions.

You are wrong. Correct and adequate force. Maybe he really needed a toe kick in the solar plexus while he was down also. But by that time the strength coach was already making a judgement on if more ass whooping was necessary.

You'd probably say that the coach would be in the right if he shot him because there's no telling what threat the fan could have posed. Kid was drunk, running on the field. The coach should have stayed on the sidelines and let the security guards take action. There's no need for a player or coach to act in this instance. Kid has a strong law suit. Not that I agree with what he did, but I don't agree with what the coach did.

Coaches have the responsibility to protect their players. Just because he didn't have a badge, doesn't mean he can't protect his players.
So while someone is on a shooting rampage, would you suggest to wait for the cops, or would you put a cap in his ass?

Look, people who run on the field are complete idiots. The kid deserved some kind of repercussions...especially running on the field for a game that they handled soundly. I can see some legal repercussions...but OSU is going out of their way to crush him, and they are doing it for reason. I've been around OSU for a long time...this is who and what they are.

He deserves to get laid out. He also deserves a few days in jail. He doesn't deserve to get his scholarship pulled.

It's a place where the school president hopes he doesn't get fired by the football coach.

Um no. I'm talking reality, you're talking about situations that didn't occur. He didn't have a gun, he was a drunk fan. But whatever burg go eat one

You don't know what he has until he gets whacked. A knife would be easier to conceal. In life, you always have to assume the worst to protect yourself. As a coach, your responsibility is to protect your players in a bad situation. Saying people are naturally good is very naive.

The way I see it, colleges and professional sports need to stay out of a legal/criminal case.

Universities don't tend to be thrilled about having criminals within the student body. Unless those criminals are playing sports, in which case they may not meet the literal definition of "student".

Oh yea let's trust the event security personnel. They make 10 bucks an hour and aren't carrying a gun. They passed a back ground check. That's how qualified they are. The idiot can sue if he wants but he won't win a penny. He does not have a good case at all.

So we should arm the strength coaches?

Comical that his being drunk is some sort of defense. The coach did what had to be done. If the takedown was ugly, it was the kid's fault.

This is like criticizing a homeowner for his loose handrail after a thief falls off his front porch trying to get away.
