Sievertsen

[casbern]

According to the WCF Courier, Sievertsen is facing charges after a public intox. Coach Farley has stated that the situation has been taken care of in accordance with the UNI Student-Athlete handbook.

Any thoughts on how this will affect our game this upcoming Saturday?

for something this minor, i doubt that he would have to miss any time until he is found guilty.

Dumb move, for sure, but I agree. Doesn't sound like he will miss this weekend's game.

Re: Sievertsen

if he wasn't driving under the influence, and no one was hurt, I don't have a problem with Farley just going with whatever the minimum required sanctions listed in the student-athlete handbook are. especially if it's a first offense.

maybe make him run some extra laps or something too.

Re: Sievertsen

In the past football players that have been picked up DUI have been suspended for a game. In basketball it was 3 games. I beleive the University policy is a third of the season. Remeber in 09, Davis was suspended for the Iowa game and big Jordan was picked up and was suspended for 3 games.

But again...that was punishment for a DUI...not a Public Intox.

Re: Sievertsen

Last public intox arrest that comes to mind is Chad Reinhart. I believe that he played the remainder of the season, then handled the court case afterwards. I could have that wrong.

I thought you were suspended for 10% of the season. A third of the basketball season would be 10 games.

Dumb. But at least it wasn't a DUI.

Re: Sievertsen

It doesn't take a whole lot of trouble-making to get a public intox. Its interesting that he is pleaded not guilty..who knows what the circumstances were

If that were true, you would still be sharing a cell with Alfonso Rodriguez, Jr.

Re: Sievertsen

it is cake to pick up an alcohol related offense any more. More than 2 drink in an hour, you are drunk in most cases

in iowa the charge is intoxication/simulated intoxication so you actually dont have to drink a damn thing.

Re: Sievertsen

It appears he got the ticket by Bender Hall...That would lead me to think he was walking back to his dorm (assuming he lives on campus, I don't know that though).

I would think had he been drunk and belligerent on campus, the UNIPD would have given him something more than that.
