Such high horses we ride. I've made the same kind of deals with students from U of I and WSU with the universities and with private businesses. They weren't athletes. So, NO, the football players weren't treated any differently than other students. Why does every single criminal transgression have to end up in the criminal system? Tom, if you would have had been charged for theft as a juvenile, as you should have been following your logic, you would never have been able to join the Army. Any juvenile record precludes one from serving, nowadays!!</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>=======================================================</span><br><span>List services made available by First Step Internet,</span><br><span>serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994.</span><br><span> <a href="http://www.fsr.net">http://www.fsr.net</a></span><br><span> <a href="mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com">mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com</a></span><br><span>=======================================================</span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
