[Husker] Purify

[Tommy Thompson]

Here are a few notables who were usually given multiple chances.  I think 
you'll agree that the championships and "glory days" of the Huskers wouldn't 
have occurred without their contributions.  I'm not saying that people 
shouldn't get punished.  Just showing that Devaney, Osborne, Solich, and 
Callahan all have given folks extra chances.  Most of these served some sort 
of suspension, or at least internal punishment, and then were allowed to 
return to play.

Johnny Rodgers - Robbed a gas station
Christian Peter - Arrested 8 times, convicted 4 times
Lawrence Phillips - assault
Riley Washington - Charged with, but later acquitted, second degree murder
Major Culbert -  Sexual assault
Tyrone Williams - Convicted of felony charge of discharging a gun
Abdul Muhammad -  Bullet lodged in buttocks from gang activity
Terrell Farley - Several chances after multiple DUI's
Broderick Thomas - Arrested multiple times, although after he was a Husker
Josh Brown - Served 23 days in jail after for assault
Shevin Wiggins - accused of fondling 14-year old girls...convicted of 
contributing to the delinquency of a minor
Tony Veland - DUI
Josh Davis - Theft
Grant Wistrom - Assault
Mark Vedral - 1st degree sexual assault
