Then you'd have to go back and add those years to the other teams too. I'm sure the results would be the same. Hell just look at urban he'd have a player arrested and they would play against LSU the next week. I can remember one for car theft and one for selling grass off the top of my head. The grass guy did have to sit out the rent a win game before LSU.
The only way to stop legal issues is by locking the team up in a concentration camp, with personal guards. I'm sure we would get lots of recruits then! A bit of persepective would help too. This is a glorified chilren's PE game. If you really look at the game as a whole and society it's all pretty silly.

This is more an issue of personal responsibility. You also need to look at normal behavior for a group of 100 , 18-24 yr old men.

Found this data. It's a little old but probably still close to current rates... LINK

FBI 2001 arrest rates per 100,000 male inhabitants

Age Total
18 4,880.9
19 4,267.8
20 3,542.5
21 3,189.5
22 2,787.7

Quick math gives expected arrest rates for 100 of each age of
18 = 4.88
19 = 4.27
20 = 3.54
21 = 3.19
22 = 2.79

If you take 20 of each age to compare against a football team of 100 males age 18-22, that would give a rate of

(4.88 + 4.27 + 3.54 + 3.19 + 2.79) / 5

for a total rate of 18.67 / 5

= 3.76 per 100 males age 18-22 (in 2001 only)

So the arrest rate over a 3 year period (2010-2013) would be 3 times greater or about

11.28 for the general population of 100 18-22 year old males.

Looks like Missouri, Arkansas, Florida, and Georgia are at or over that amount.

The teams with only a few are well below average for the general population of 18-22 year olds.
