Re the Altons and Lock Haven...they sat out a month for two misdemeanors. They didn’t beat anyone up (which is, historically, what PSU wrestlers - and others) usually get in trouble for.

Just drunk downtown. I love Lock Haven, but I’d probably love it more drunk. Just sayin’.

I don't think Jon Smith at OSU would have tolerated the actions of the Alton's, but who knows anymore? I guess I miss the old days when you couldn't beat a woman while drunk and not suffer some serious consequences. I really thought Cael's moral compass was more solid.

Ed Ruth would never have been allowed to plead down for assaulting a cop in the old days, and he would have been relegated to some third-rate school, or done some time, instead. We treat student athletes with kid gloves these days, and it is nothing but a disservice to them and to society. Correction, we treat the athletes who can bring national championships with kid gloves.

This is more of a sad commentary on the state of collegiate athletics than it is an indictment of PSU or Cael. Hey, at least the Alton's didn't pull an Andrew Long.
