Xavier Arrested...

I don't believe this but someone on the other site said they heard he was going 140 in a 55.

Would recommend checking the page of this actual lawyer

It is sad to this old IU fan that I see our fan base cares more about winning  than the integrity of the program.  It is just all about winning and not caring about who represents this program.

I’ve said it before and will continue to say it- thank God that the internet wasn’t around in the glory days of IU. The players did so many “bad things” than anyone could imagine. It was not available to the public. I’m a big believer in getting all the information and keeping things in perspective.

I disagree to a extent. The small stuff that gets debated on this board probably stayed hidden. This situation would not it would be out. Maybe also law enforcement hid stuff for the teams sake by letting kids off? That I agree with. I will refuse to believe knight allowed stuff like this go unpunished though. I think he wanted leadership not this. I am sure there are lots of stories of drinking and smoking pot but I doubt any charges or arrests were buried to save face

Your post is a broad-brush load of crap IMO.

We all care about who represents our program. Under your standards RMK would have shown Woody, Ray Tolbert, and Landon the door in 1978.

If he wasn't driving a Mercedes that was registered to a booster, then we're still not big time yet.

You can have integrity in a program or organization while still working with troubled youth. You don't have to run a program and only give spots to prototypical choir boys...

You win the thread

Xavier being one of the star players on the team, it'd be interesting to see how CMW would deal with this issue. The way the coach handles this can make or break the team. Hopefully X learns his lesson, gets back on track, and becomes a positive force on the team as a leader.

It depends what comes out of this situation but this will be his second problem in a year.

Lol man we’re talking about a reckless driving arrest. He’s not Aaron Hernandez. Do you think Kansas or North Carolina would dismiss their best point guard for a reckless driving charge? Cmon.

if I’m not mistaken didnt Zavier Simpson get arrested crashing the Michigan Athletic Directors car a few years ago and not get suspended at all

[IUc2016 7,121]

Woody needs to take a page out of painter’s book. I mean when Mason Gillis was arrested for a DUI he was immediately kicked off the team!

or coach K’s book when his grandson and Banchero were arrested for DUI during the season and he immediately kicked them off the team!

or Gonzaga’s book when Few was arrested for DUI and they fired him immediately!!

 

oh wait

See ya X! Without the incident in Evanston, he might be able to survive. Not now! Let’s go all in on Pack!

You’re an idiot

I don't care what those programs do because IU should have higher standards than those programs do.

I was dreading coming over to BTB after I saw this on Twitter but the discussion is largely fair and level-headed. Thanks to @stuhoo and other mods, I’m sure, but thanks to the lay posters, too.

As someone who’s worked in student conduct and dealt with my fair share of athletes, I’ll add a couple thoughts:

1. Without all the facts, we can’t say definitively, but even with the one-game NW suspension as a prior, my strong hunch is this probably falls FAR short of deserving a lengthy suspension. The season’s far, maybe he sits a game or two.

2. As stated up thread, this isn’t good, but we also don’t know how bad it really might be yet.

3. College students, even really good folks, do unwise things. I know I did then.

4. don’t assume that discipline that happens in private is weak or “getting off easy.”

The mods have not had to hide a single post, even with many different opinions.

BtownBanners posters are, as usual, outstanding.

Even in these days of higher levels of semi-professionalism, college coaches are educators. CMW clearly sees himself that way. IU can have high standards and still have Xavier Johnson after this, assuming there’s not some really bad ish hiding here.

If you think that is an insult, I don't because this is a compliment because we use to care about more than winning.
