    Gotta agree with the Times on this one.
    I say let's "drop the hammer" NCAA-Emmert-esque style.
    Suspend both ASJ and KW for the first play.
    No doubt that message would be much more serious than,
    say, spending a night in jail, paying heavy fines, being publicly
    embarrassed, having a police record, etc., etc.



    Fuck the Seattle Times. They had months to discuss this issue but come out
    with an article, Brewer, and an editorial the first week of fall camp? Self-serving
    "journalism" at it's finest.

    This issue wasn't relevant at all until Sark decided to make it relevant by letting it linger.

    Cliff notes version for people who hate reading:

    All of the kids know who ASJ/Kasen are and try to emulate everything they do. They should be setting a better example for all of the kids. ASJ/Kasen made a mistake that many have made at that age, but it is a big deal because the kids like their jersey numbers. We should draw a purple and gold line in the sand. Here is a link to an article that never should have been printed.

    In following the links and checking the other stories, WSU follows the same policy as the UW, situations are handled internally. If the Times is so concerned about transparency and the public's right to know maybe they should have included these WSU examples along with ASJ and KW's. Certainly there are plenty of WSU grads living in the Greater Seattle area who may want to know.

    Or is it something else with the Times?

    It's funny though. They're demanding the athletes be suspended to "send a message to other aspiring ahtletes". But if someone in the upper campus or on the Times staff had a DUI, would they be suspended from their job to send a message to their colleagues?

    An HH intern should do some research and find out what legal issues Times employees have had. It's public info.

    To be fair, no one really gives a fuck (or at least they shouldn't) about UW.

    Can you imagine their indignation if we did a series like that on their staff?
