He should be in prison.
Read the article.
He's dead.
Thanks, missed that part. Has happened before when I speed read.
well then he’s saved the taxpayers of the state.... so he wasn’t such a bad guy afterall....
He’s dead.
You can expect more stuff like this now that Neuheisel is coaching at UCLA. The guy has few if any scruples.
Along with academia's amnesia and the media blackout/cover-ups.
If this guy had done this crap to my sister I’d be facing a trial by jury and that guy would be in the bone orchard.
Beating a spouse is a misdemeanor?
Lambrect recruited this guy. Neuheisel isn’t the only one. This is a second of a series. Yesterday the rag wrote about Jeremiah Pharms.
This is the kind of stuff you get with the NCAA. I agree with Frank DeFord, time to change the rules concerning scholarships and college athletes.
As season ticket holders I remember all the celebration of his life and remembrances in honor of him at the games the year he died, and though we knew he had some personal off the field issues, I had no idea it was even nearly as bad as it really was.
“Pursuing a degree in American Ethnic Studies”
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Bet that is a b— breaking Major.
What field does one pursue with such a degree?
And if it weren’t for his Swahili class he would be ineligible?
Why don’t we just cut the charade and pay them as a training ground for Football and let the Institutions reap in the NFL money while opening up a ‘seat’ (or 100) for someone who genuinely wants an education?
My brother and I both played at Washington in the 80s....there was certainly monkey business at times, but I dont recall anything this extreme.

It is Lambright. Yes, Jim Lambright recruited this guy but Rick Neuheisel was the coach during most of Williams' career and therefore, the one who wasn't controlling him.
This is the kind of stuff you get with the NCAA. I agree with Frank DeFord, time to change the rules concerning scholarships and college athletes.
The one rule that would change things the most quickly: before an athlete can be offered a scholarship from a university, the student must obtain a standardized test score equal to the 50th percentile of the previous years' incoming freshmen class. In other words, make them qualify first as a student. How fast you can run or how high you can jump should not be a primary factor in getting admitted to college. Those student(?)-athletes who barely meet the NCAA minimums have NO business being university students.
The standards have been raised since 2000.
A tragic hero? Hero?
“Swahili???”
U of Wash teaches Swahili?
Why is that? Does Starbucks buy coffee from there?
Or is it just that they don’t mind their “university” has become a laughingstock?
Sad turn of events for a college football player. Not the best way to meet up with you again. Off topic, how is everything going with you? I am doing fine, rooting for the UConn Huskies men/women’s college basketball teams. Bookmarked.
So sad.
