This could qualify for a couple of boards, but I went with Non-Sports, Non-Politics.

Young Mr. Connor Croll had a bad day yesterday.

Mama Always Says Stupid Is As Stupid Does

The article says he was arrested "early Sunday," so it didn't take long to go from act to hoosegow. Worse, he's being extradited to Baton Rouge to face charges.

I know absolutely nothing other than what's in the article. But the only incentive I can think of is that he was losing a bet and tried to disrupt the game to avoid paying off. I'm sure there was no alcohol involved.

I'd pay money to have heard the conversation between him and his parents when he called home to Virginia for legal advice.

I commented on it when it came up on my Facebook feed, and this is the proper board here. I just can't believe it. One commenter on SDS said "There's a little Harvey in all of us"...

“New phone, who dis?”
“We didn’t raise a kid, and put him in college so he could threaten a stadium.”

His mama and daddy are probably so proud.
Hes a freshman and he's from Virginia. I wonder what he knows, if anything of the Alabama-LSU rivalry.
He's a young man about to learn just how high the "stupid tax" can be.

The article on ESPN said he said he did it because a friend was about to lose big on a bet. Almost sounds like Fraternity hijinx.
“The pledge gets to make the call to get me outta this bet”

Well, looks like I was really close on the betting angle -- a friend instead of young Mr. Croll himself.

The friend and Croll could be in the same fraternity, but Croll probably isn't a pledge. Pledge programs have changed a ton since I was in school. Due to an increasingly stringent definition of hazing (by both universities and the national fraternity HQs), most are now 4-6 weeks. Which means that if Croll is in a fraternity, he's likely already initiated.

But if I'm wrong, and Croll is still a pledge, and an active member used his status to induce / force Croll to make the call, there's going to be ten dozen kinds of hell to pay -- Croll himself (already in a heap o' trouble), the active, the chapter, the national fraternity....the list goes on forever.

Regardless of his intentions, the kid is accused of making a terrorist threat against about 100,000 people. (Later Note: Just read a Washington Post article that says he was identified as a suspect, "within minutes" of the call, and has already admitted making it.) If he did what he's accused of, even if he acted alone, the stupid / drunk tax on this is already going to be life-changing. If other parties are involved, even tangentially, it's going to be godamighty nasty.

The threat had nothing to do with the Alabama-LSU rivalry and the guy could have been a student anywhere. But it will get played in the court of public opinion otherwise.

Hopefully he is expelled from the university and his punishment in Louisiana will serve as a warning to other idiots out there.
