No changes to the story, but it's finally hit the Register.

Someone should edit this thread title.

I agree...no mention of Lloyd or Harris in any of the statements or press releases. Let's not make it worse than it is...

Great, my 9 year old thinks Johnny Gray is the greast thing ever. Waited in line for his autograph a few times after games and finally got it last week. I guess I get to have a talk to him about how we really don't know any of these guys. I will be sure to add that almost all of the players are probably good people and not to let a few bad apples get him down.

Breaking the law is breaking the law, even if you don't agree with it.

Breaking the law IS breaking the law.
Hence why I've paid my speeding tickets and parking tickets.

I'm not going to judge someone as not being a "good person" over pot use, or for drinking alcohol or whatever. Everyone has their vices.

That's one of the best anti-drug commercials that could be on TV. Not to mention the fact that they've screwed over their teammates. When you're on a team of any sort you don't just represent yourself. The headlines say "UNI Football player arrested", you are your whole team, fanbase, school and community!

I am not going to sugar coat it, it needs to be cut and dry for a little boy. I will throw the law breakers under the bus and not look back.

If you have thin skin and this kind of story is "devstating" to you, then I think you better move on from being a fan of athletics, unfortunately. I'd be willing to bet dollars and donuts that this won't be the last time we are let down by the inevitable stupidity of a college student...athlete or not. Unfortunately, we should probably go to bed every night thankful that someone else hasn't yet gotten caught...cuz I can guarantee you that these two ain't the only ones doing something illegal...and that goes for participants in everything from student government or softball or football or debate or glee club.

gray- intent to deliver
williams- possession

The article in the Courier doesn't even mention Harris and Lloyd. Does that mean they will play this weekend and weren't involved?

Mr. 9YRPLAN seems to be the only one on the board at this point who thinks they didn't make the trip to INDSU.

I dont think were going to be fine. This definitely hurts. You cant lose 4 starters two weeks before the end of the season and think that its not gonna hurt. We may have people who can step in, but these guys were starters for a reason.

Sorry Joe...have to disagree with you there. My nephew is Craig James and had he not transferred out he would be starting at Louisville this year. Even more so, had he originally signed with Florida along with his best friend Tim Tebow...he would be on the field there as well. He came to UNI knowing well what the situation was and decided to come anyway. I'll just say that there isn't ALWAYS just a "reason" why they are starters.

Throwing people under busses is against the law too.
You're a bad person.

I assume Rima knows but can he talk about it on the radio show?

I bet Farley is loving today, can't watch his kid play in the playoffs but gets to deal with this. On top of that he is in Terra Heut (not worth of correct spelling).

Depends on if Farley felt that they weren't involved or not. If Mark believes these guys were involved you can bet they don't play. We will see.

I agree that the mods should edit this thread title...

Craig James has talent, you cant deny that. A certain Mr. Cody Kirby found that out the hard way during the 4th quarter last week. But, you obviously have a bit of a biased opinion. If he gets a chance to show what he can do, he certainly has potential to be a very very good player.
