Is Steichen playing in week one?

[panthertrack]

I know he got the big charge dropped, but he still faces charges stemming from the incident. Is he going to have to sit a game out?

It would have been mentioned already if he was, IMO.

When someone is charged with a felony, they should sit out.

When it's less serious (as the charges are now), a player should be allowed to play if they plead not guilty and the athletic department conducts it's own investigation into the incident.

If a player pleads guilty or is found to be guilty, then they should sit out an appropriate amount of time.

If the athletics department's investigation determines the player violated team rules or acted in a manner not appropriate for a team member, they should be punished accordingly.

I'm located in Ca. so don't get much Panther news...what exactly happened here? Where and when did it happen? I had seen a headline on the DSM Regisster website but didn't read the article. Please advise

Bar fight in Okoboji - Steichen, his brother and a friend had a dust up with an off duty bar employee. Steichen was charged with felony, but that was dropped, with a MISD still pending.

just by being charged with a felony and in the papers in a negative way would be violating team rules by bringing bad press to the univeristy. IMO

I also think if you spend months and months and months talking bad about a University's financial decision to drop baseball that it also breaks team rules. He wasn't charged with anything. This subject is over. Become a team player.

WTF are you talking about? This has nothing to do with baseball, and Scrambler's post made no reference to it at all. And Steichen WAS charged with several counts. The felony charge has been dropped but there are still a couple of misdemeanors pending.

The athletic administration looks at these case by case. As Scrambler implied, they certainly have the power and the right to suspend Steichen right now if they believe it to be necessary. Since they haven't yet, their investigation may have given them enough doubt about the charges against Steichen that they decided to hold off on taking any suspension action until his case has made its way through the courts system.

Becoming a "team player" by accepting something you strongly disagree with...well, I wouldn't want that person on my team. To me, that says "yes man". I think that "yes man" and a$$whipe translate well in several languages.

I'll be really surprised if Steichen doesn't start against Iowa.

I think the decision has already been made and someone will ask Farley about it at some point before the Iowa game and he'll talk about it then.

I think its a lock for him to play.

Since when were we supposed to start putting an "h" in asswipe? Man, I miss out on so many of these grammar rule and spelling changes.

I hold grudges.

From as good of a source as you can get, Steichen will NOT be suspended week 1.
