Well it looks like we're back in the Fulmer Cup, and this incident most certainly won't help dispel the public perception produced by the SI/CBS College Football and Crime Report published at the beginning of the month.
We will let you know more as we hear it.

I work at a family homeless shelter. This stuff is awful.
I Don't Like
To see stuff like this happen. I'm sure it will be dealt with appropriately. For now I withold my judgment since I don't know the facts.
I checked out the SI report. I does not look good to be in that mix. I think the report has some flaws in the way they presented the information. It makes Tech look worse than we are. I think most of the problems at Tech are relatively minor, drugs or alcohol type events, and the administration is consistent on how they deal with it. The report states they checked police records in 17 states. What about the rest of the states? What information was left out? While the report discusses some pretty bad stuff, those things did not happen at Tech. I hate the guilt by association implications of the article, especially since it it apparently based on limited information. They only checked the players on their top 25 teams. That list did not include Auburn, current FBS champs.
What percent of all students have some sort of criminal record?
I'm withholding my opinion on Boyce until all the facts come out, but if what they say happened, happened then they both deserve everything that's coming.
As far as the SI report goes, I think it's 90% bullshit, bad reporting and twisted statistics, but that doesn't mean that the casual fan or rival won't take it as gospel and use it to formulate a negative opinion on Tech. They include juvenile records, past crimes and hold that against the players too. I believe I read somewhere that an average college student was only 2% less likely to commit a crime than a college football player.
