[NU Sports] Brandon Lee

[mlinhardt at netzero.net]

I disagree completely.

I feel bad for him, but his mistakes were pretty big.

The substance abuse I can forgive, but bringing back an athlete with a 
breaking and entry conviction(especially in campus housing) is not the 
message NU wants to send out to perspective students.  Campus safety 
is already an important issue and this would aggravate the issue.

NU would not get an positive press if they took Brandon back and more 
than likely it would make NU athletics look dirty -- win at all costs.

I don't require choir-boys, but I want kids who graduate, work hard 
athletically, and stay out of trouble.  In the process I would hope 
those kids come out with an EXTREMELY postive view of the Northwestern 
and the student-athlete experience.

NU should give Lee a break and bring him back.  He obviously had the 
smarts to make it if not the judgement to make it the first time.  He 
got the judgement the hard way, the smarts are still there.
