[NU Sports] McGee Fire or Not?

[johnadeg at comcast.net]

MY point related to the comment that faculty members were past (and maybe?) current users of illegal drugs so shouldn't be criticaal of a DUI charge.  Also, It's always fun to stir up NY liberals, not that it is much of a challenge.
By the way for a contrast standards of conduct between at least NU  if not most of college sports, how about the Detroit Lions assitant coach who was picked up for trying to make a purchase at the drive in window of  a fast food restaraunt while wearing no clothes and drunk as a skunk. and is still on the LIons coaching staff!  Maybe that is why college sports are a lot more fun to watch than the pros
