DMN reports that from August thru October 8 (effectively about 6 weeks)SMU officials have issued more than 230 violations related to alcohol and drug violations. 241 SMU students have been referred to SMU's judicial affairs office for drug or alcohol related offenses. Sounds like SMU student body has some of the same problems many of you take great pleasure in demeaning the UT program about. But I guess it makes you feel better.

Sine UT is 5 times the size of SMU I can only surmise that 5 times as many UT students have been arrested, on 6th street alone.

it does, but only because I like to pick on individual faults so that I can be right rather than offer a constructive solution to anything.

Isn't UT like 10 times the size of SMU?

I think all universities have drug and alchohol issues - the question is if there is an administrative issue within the athletic dept (or a lack of a filter in the recruiting process) at UT since so much of thier football team gets caught up in this - clearly it is an issue and is something unusual, even amongst high thug-ratio BCS programs.

SMU athletes often make ill-fated attempts at thuggery. THrowing bricks through bar windows, ganging up on non athletes, and other generally embarrasing acts are commonplace among the SMU out-crowd.

Athletes have an inate need to show people they are tough and agressive...but no one comes to see these guys on the field at smu. What would you do? I'd bring the pain to their scene...

How many of these were on the SMU football team?

See, now there you go clouding the argument with relevant facts and logic.

Yes, citations for MIP and public intoxication by SMU campus police and having to report to the office of judicial affairs are exactly like burglary, aggravated assault, felony retaliation and evidence tampering, aggravated robbery, and DWI by Longhorn players.

What were people thinking calling the burnt orange kettle black???

College kids drinking and smoking pot!?!?!?!? Dare you Say!!

Seriously, this isn't an issue, Sgt. Norris and crew simply decided to start writing a few more tickets. It isn't even close to being a problem, part of being a college student is experimenting and trying new things. If there was a huge spike in DWIs or alcohol related felonius activity, we would have cause for concern.

It alcohol and weed were all the UT players were getting busted for nobody ever would have made an issue of it. That kind of thing happens, with at least some frequency, on every college football team in the country. It's college people!

I'm so glad SMU students are only being arrested for abusing alcohol and drugs. Eases my mind.

If UT was 10 times the size of SMU it would be 100,000. SMU has about 10,000 students--undergrad and grad.

Stallion but you still have a problem
with the team you try so hard to defend.

SMU: Students do drugs
UT: Students do drugs

SMU Football Team:
High Graduation Rate
Not High # of Arrests

Texas Football Team:
Lowest Grad Rate in Big 12 (pathetic!)
High # of Recent Arrests (disgraceful)

BTW....there are teams that have grad rates
and no shameful arrest record that WIN too!
So it's not an "either/ or".

Your equation does not work.

Your Honor I have no further questions for this witness.

NEXT?

Sorry, I meant undergrad only. I thought they had like 50-60,000 undergrad, but according to Wikipedia (the all-knowing internet wizard) there are about 37,000 undergrad. My bad.

With the problems we had last year, anyone who thought there was not going to be a crackdown on campus, is either drinking or taking drugs.
