Former Louisville guard, Chris Jones charged with rape

Don't know how many of you are following this story, but it just keeps getting more and more absurd by the day. For those of you who haven't been following:

  • February 17th, Chris Jones was suspended by Louisville for one game for an unspecified violation of team rules, and was left on campus as the team traveled to Syracuse for a game.
  • February 19th, Jones was reinstated by the team after missing the Syracuse game.
  • February 21st, Jones plays 36 minutes, scoring 17 points with 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals while helping lead the Cardinals to a 55-53 home win over Miami.
  • February 22nd, Chris Jones was suspended and subsequently dismissed from Louisville for apparently sending a threatening text message to a woman whom he had a relationship with, threatening to "smack the f*** out of her".
  • February 25th, authorities issue a warrant for the arrest of Chris Jones for raping one woman and sodomizing another, actions which supposedly happened on February 21st, after the home win against Miami.

Ummm... All I can say is wow, what an absolute mess up there in Kentucky, and what a complete embarrassment to everyone associated with the Louisville program. I don't really have any love lost for the Cards after their antics to royally screw us over back in the days of the Metro, but even I feel bad for everyone involved. What an ugly situation and a black eye to the ACC in one of its best seasons on the court in a very long time.
