As to your implication that I'm being inconsistent in my assessment of Frank's disciplinary regime, here's what your overlooking: Whether or not Frank gives a rat's ass about legal incidents involving his players, and whether or not he thinks Snyder's and Boo's incidents have anything to do with judgement and character as those traits pertain to a leadership position (QB), he probably didn't want to hitch his wagon to a starting QB who was on thin ice with OU judiciaries. I sure as hell wouldn't, especially if I had another strong option (TT) who never seems to get into trouble.
LOL. Who is to say
anyone who gets busted one time for underage drinking and hiding his or her ID is on "thin ice" with university judiciaries, especially after a full year on campus? That's hilarious. What, they have to write a paper?
How about this...Frank thought T2 would be a better quarterback this year. I doubt Snyder is the bad apple you are slandering him to be. I hope he'll do fine at SEMO or wherever he ends up.
I hope Snyder does fine too. Who pissed in your Corn Flakes? It's not portraying a student-athlete as a bad apple to report that they got into trouble and to speculate that it influenced how their coaches evaluated them.
You honestly think that reporting Snyder's incident is completely immaterial and petty in terms of reporting the quarterback competition? Most editors wouldn't, and I suspect Arkley simply didn't know about it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't OU adopt a relatively strict policy whereby if a student gets a second alcohol-related offense he faces a relatively strict penalty? I'll try to look that up, but it received plenty of publicity.
Also, you're deliberately assuming the most benign circumstances possible of the Snyder incident. Personally, I think it's more likely he hurt his face in a fight or by getting slugged than by falling down. If he hurt it by falling down because he was drunk, that might be even worse in terms of evaluating his judgment.
