Can't post from work, so I'm a little late to the party, but a couple of thoughts:
First, Karma's a real female dog when she gets upset. Between Fulmer, Kramer, and now Kiffin, UT's reaping what it sowed several years ago.
Still, my hat's off to Kiffin. He seems to have generated a Karmic response in record time.
Second: Forget the football team, I don't know how any university keeps these guys in school. Unless something new comes to light, they're about to be felons convicted of a violent crime. This isn't smash & grab, shoplifting, or a barroom brawl. It's a violent crime that all too often escalates into something far more serious than armed robbery.
I know, I know, innocent until proven guilty, etc., etc. But against at least two of them, there's been lots of adverse evidence, nothing to suggest anything other than what it appears to be on the surface, and a deafening silence out of Kiffin (isn't irony sweet?) and the UT athletic and academic administration.
For the third, he might not have brandished the weapon or demanded the money, but he participated in the crime and at the very least didn't report it. In the eyes of the law, he's just as guilty as the others. Might get a lighter punishment in view of his lesser participation, but unless there's something else out there we don't know about, he also stands a real good chance of being a felon convicted of a violent crime.
I don't know how you keep them in school, much less on the football team.
Wonder if Urban Meyer is crossing himself that he didn't end up with NuKeese, or snickering at Kiffin's comeuppance. Maybe both.
