The incident happened Nov. 5, he was arraigned on Nov. 8 and he played at CMU last night (Nov. 15).

Does anyone know if a suspension would be standard practice? Obviously, J.T. Barrett and many others have been suspended after arrest but before trial, but I think it depends on the program.

That's a very very stiff penalty. Kudos to the coaches!

Unless the stats on the Athletic Department Web site are wrong, Quinton Maxwell started the CMU game at safety. AT SAFETY. He made two assisted tackles, and they were NOT after turnovers by the Bobcats.

One of Maxwell's tackles was during the first half, when Toran Davis was suspended. The other tackle he made happened in the second half, when Davis was back playing.

I didn't catch the radio broadcast until late in the game. Does anyone know if Eisenstein mentioned any of this? There's nothing about it in the official BA game thread.

It occurs to me that with an already depleted secondary (Randy Stites out for the season, Jalen Fox and Bo Hardy and maybe Tyler Tupa and others banged up), Davis getting in trouble was some really bad timing on his part. He was the senior leader of the secondary, and because he was out the redshirt freshman starting quarterback had to play both ways and start in the defensive backfield.

Wow. As Allen said, not good. On a team late in the year with a chance to do great things and really needing you, you get picked up for speeding while allegedly drunk or high.

Under a different regime, I'd be more surprised.

Makes a hell of a lot more sense!

What would it take to have someone get it right on the Athletics Department Web site?

Still think it's bogus, because Grant Cunningham became the other starter at safety. Nothing against him, but you see my point.

The official stats have been confusing Hagan for Maxwell all year. Last year they confused Irons with Nelson, so this isn't uncommon.

Wow. Nothing gets the point across like making a guy sit a first half of a game. Next time why don't they smack him on the wrist and then give him an ice bag and a lollipop to make him feel better. SMH.....

Didnt Cunningham and Poling get the same punishment? So whats different with Davis who has never been in trouble? Cunningham was charged with a serious charge too.

That's exactly the point. This kind of "punishment" is simply a slap on the wrist. What consequence is there for doing it? Not playing a little bit of a game? BFD.
