[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 154573, member: 2175"] It was LibertyTurns who related the friend story. My son is a cop and said based only on what was in the recitation, that alone, he also would have cited the kid, but suspects there were other elements. The law can often be an ***, as I think it was Dickens said, but mostly isn't stupid. (I know, I know. Exceptions can be made.) My cautionary tale was not simply that stuff is illegal, but that there are potential immediate and long-term consequences, ranging from liability issues to employment issues 10 years down the road, because those convictions stay on the record. A lot of students don't have a clue about this. (Maybe schools ought to conduct a freshman seminar class on such things, non-accusatory, just statements of facts. What you do at 18 could stay with you forever. After that, you're on your own.) I don't know I could be that tough, either, a reason I shouldn't be a coach. The same rules and consequences have to apply to everybody all the time. When they don't, more than one coach has lost his team as a result. It was widely reported that Urban Meyer's empire fell apart at Florida because of a star tier, and Mack Brown had his difficulties. But is the coach going to be supported, or is losing simply not accepted regardless of bent priorities? I would hope that at Tech coaches are supported. Oddly it is more important to me than to a graduate for a simple reason: I could root for anybody but chose GT. Grads are stuck with it. [/QUOTE]
