2/15/2012: Major TCU Drug Bust, 4 Players Being Investigated

[Junior]

I heard Patterson has the names of the investigators.

Is Fatterson going to hold a presser to say that he'll never help these investigators again?

If Gary was not so busy helping us out all the time, perhaps he would have known what was going on with his own team.

Glad drugs aren't being sold, bought, and used at SMU.

Lets look at it a different way. Are we really helping a person, especially a young person, if we look the other way? Anybody think it sickening to watch the Grammys and these talk shows and all this "I love you Whitney Houston" stuff! If you really loved her and knew she was having a drug problem then why didn't you help her? Hope the guilt stays with them for the rest of their lives and they turn their look the other way attitude around! It is a problem and as long as we say it is acceptable or look the other way we are giving permission for these kids to ruin the lives of themselves and their loved ones. Forget the football part.

Is that really what you are taking away from this? TCU had 17 major dealers arrested (not "here man, have a dime" guys), four of them scholarship football players who claimed to be selling drugs to most of their teammates, and a coach who has sat on the results of a mandatory drug test given last month, that one of the players said most of the team failed. Nobody assumes SMU as a whole is squeaky clean, in fact far from it, but I sure hope we don't have multiple guys dealing ounces to their teammates and students, and I sure hope <10% of the team would fail a drug test. If this is going on, consider what's going on at TCU a wake-up call, double-down on team education and clean up our own mess internally.

To the [deleted] posters giving me [deleted] about wanting a link BEFORE listing names were posted on the Internet:

1. My post was BEFORE a link was posted and
2. The TCU's QB's name was listed and he wasn't arrested

That's not cool-and before you start accusing people of criminal activity on the internet you should have some strong evidence

I asked for a link-some info proved false some proved correct. I think my stance is best. Maybe you'd like your name dragged through the mud?

[lwjr]

Gotta believe this could be the tip of iceberg. Hope the indivuals arrested learn from this.

[SMUer]

The name was posited as "they're saying ____ on KF.com..." and all subsequent talk here was "wow, if that's true"...but you couldn't get your lawyer suit on for TCU fast enough. "Heresay!" "Unsubstantiated" "Libel". Stallion, you wear TCU underwear.

[PonyTales]

Also, TCU President has said these persons arrested have been expelled from the university.

Already? No rhetoric about "letting the legal system run its course"? Case must be pretty iron-clad.

Any of you attorneys out there want to weigh in on this? Is anyone else shocked that they got the boot this fast?

[SMUer]

I believe they have been "removed" from TCU, and if found guilty, will subsequently be "expelled". All are probably still students.

[Stallion]

Those posters suck too. Think about what you are posting. But I doubt we'll be hearing those "Craig James killed 5 hookers at SMU" jokes anymore. I blasted those people too. Bad Karma.

[PonyTales]

I hope its not Paschall-because I could see Gilbert trotting over to Ft. Worth to play with his Brother instead-he is a graduate transfer so I'm not sure if Big 12 intra-conference rule applies. Padron will likely be right behind him. Now that would be funny.

Wow. Hadn't thought of that.

[EastStang]

Wow, UT acts fast. Watch out WVU, you're on deck.

wait, what? He killed 5 hookers? I thought it was 6!

Any TCU recruits want to take the turn to D instead of to FW when they fly in next fall?
