[NU Sports] (no subject)

I suppose although my friends did much worse at NU and no one cared because
they weren't athletes.  They turned out to be good law-abiding people.

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.

I agree with most of  the others here.  Every institution in  America seems 
to give 2nd chances-(in my mind ,unfortunately 3rd and 4th chances  as 
well--see NBA, MLB, etc, etc) -NU would be  setting a higher statndard  by
requiring 
that there is some evidence that he has learned and desreves a 2nd  chance,
not 
just to give a second chance--Do it with a zero and i mean zero  tolerance 
level--Heck even IU gave the General a 2nd chance (and he was quite a  bit
older 
when he made his mistakes-)- and throwing a plate or a vase at a
secretary's 
head is more egregious than breaking and entering--not to mention  about a 
half dozen other mistakes made by Knight for whcih he was given another
chance
