1) I was on a scholarship and would have lost it for weed due to it being an ROTC scholarship if I were to have failed a drug test.
If these kids violated rules that are part of their scholarship conditions than they should receive penalty.

and they have. by your admission the ROTC is not the same as an athletic scholarship...and the rules are being followed as laid down by the university. who are you to suggest newer, stiffer punishments?

You do not have to be in the military to be a true fan like one of you replied. I was simply drawing a parallel. The fact is that I had to make some very hard decisions that greatly affected the lives of some tremendous kids and their families when they made bad decisions.

Fact is, by allegedly being in a position where you have made a few decisions - which as you pompously point out affect many lives - still does not give you the moral high horse to advocate that players be dismissed from a public institution.

The last comment I made about JL was that I want my kid to grow up with determination, pride, and character. JL is not the only one in the team like that, but he stands out.

Why not any other players on the team who stand out? How about Brandon Taylor?? or even James Stampley?? But no, only Jarrett Lee stands out!! Why??
