WOAH...strictly from a basketball perspective, that sends shockwaves through both CBB and the NBA.

Wow, I don't see how the SEC or NCAA could ignore something like this!

I wish I could agree but the SEC’s entire existence is basically a shell game to avoid accountability for its various parties

From a legal perspective... it's pretty simple. "I have brought Miles his gun 30 times and he hasn't shot anyone, I didn't know this time would be any different"

I think this was their way of getting on the football team. Gotta boost that resume for SEC football.

A lot of good games tonight featuring ranked teams  but the MAC has some big ones of their own.   Ball St/Kent St and Toledo/Akron  

Marquette/Creighton game of the night

This is the part that tells me Nate Oats only wants to win games.

I mean, Miles is still responsible for his own actions. If it's not Millers gun... idk, man. There is still a legal side to things.

I'm not saying Miller should be arrested you can't tell me if he was a sub, he wouldn't have been kicked off the team by now. Do you think that poor woman's family thinks Miller was just in the wrong place wrong time?

After reading the text summaries and a few other posts, 1. I think it was Miles gun, 2. Miller responds with the gun in the car, 3. Millers responds again that the gun is loaded, 4. it sounds like Miller's car was blocking the victims car from leaving.

Man, I can't imagine how I'd feel if I was Brandon Miller right now. 

If my friend texted me asking if he could borrow one of my guns, I complied, and later learned that gun was used to kill an innocent mother, not only would I feel an extreme sense of guilt but also panic that I'm about to go to jail.

I thought it was Miles gun? 

Not necessarily saying that changes anything. That's just what I thought.

Ah I think you're right.

Maybe that's why he can't actually be charged with anything.

All,

I don't like to hide posts, especially from multiple fantastic posters, but it is easier to do so when I see political-type stuff from diametrically opposing viewpoints, both of which are 'hide-able'.  Also, true to the people on this board, there was no personal animus in anyone's posts.

So, if your post about the NRA got hidden, be assured that someone who disagreed with you got their post hidden too. 

Hope y'all understand that the College Basketball thread can degenerate in a hurry if we don't eliminate posts that are 100% political/social issue-based with no basketball component.

 

Thanks

By the way - posts about Miller's involvement are fine - he's a very good college basketball player and this is an impactful college basketball story.

Some of our other legal experts can chime in, but from my perspective, if the NCAA or Bama suspends a kid when they have no knowledge that he's done anything wrong from a legal/team/NCAA rules standpoint, they are asking for a major legal problem. However, if the evidence evolves and there is any involvement or liability by Miller, everything can change.

Without question, it's a huge 'there's no good answer' situation for Alabama, the SEC, and the NCAA.

I didn’t pick up on the last part. I don’t know how he isn’t charged if 4 is true. 
 

But count me as someone who finds it pretty incredulous that the first three happened and Oates response is “poor kid was a victim of circumstance.”   
 

At best, Miller exhibited really poor judgement that I would think would warrant a non-trivial suspension.

They might want to update their team handbook if borderline accessory to murder isn’t in the realm of a discretionary suspension.  
 

We had kids suspended last year for some combination of curfew/weed (allegedly). I think the administration is gonna be within their rights to exercise some discipline for a guy who dropped his buddies glock off outside a night club that was used in a murder a few minutes later.

Refs are putting on a show in the BSU-Kent State game. 27 total fouls called in the first half, including 3 technicals. 

 

Probably hoping to move up the ladder and become Big Ten refs someday.
