Gathers is accused of stealing a cart full of household items — two pillows, a tote bag, water dispenser and trash can — that were valued at $171, according to Waco Police via the Waco Tribune Herald. A store employee identified Gathers before notifying police two days later. He provided video surveillance footage and Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton noted that store employees suspected Gathers had stolen items on previous visits to the store.

I'm now glad that LSU was a "waste of his time."

For some reason I view this as slightly different than someone stealing a bunch of shite to sell later. I mean no one is selling a trash can on the black market. This stuff is clearly for personal use. Maybe Baylor shouldn't stop paying guys immediately after their eligibility is up.

ETA: Looks like he still has eligibility. Why aren't the boosters buying this shite for him?

Colleges should definitely be paying these guys. I mean, c'mon, free room and board, and they still feel the need to steal and beat their Old ladies.

Pay them!

Rico is married with a kid and lives off campus, still no reason for this. People will start saying this is why they need to pay athletes. I believe the $200,000 of free education and living he gets is payment enough.

I'm sure if found guilty he'll get a suspension but being released is what should happen.

I guess the next thing we'll hear about is how athletes can't even afford a garbage can.
