Stay calm (Stony Brook incident)
- Thread starter ru66
- Start date
Because, it's in the New York Times, and probably in the SL as well. The two players who did this stupid thing played for our new coach(last year), and that is info. worthy, even if we don't like it. I firmly believe to address these type of situations as soon as they happen, then move on. If we try to deflect, or not acknowledge them at all, then they will balloon, with bad outcomes for everyone, just ask Flood.
Here is the link to the NYT article;

Why the heck is this kid leaving $5,000 in cash in his car; presumably in plain sight. And who is his tax accountant?
Unworthy post. There's always someone looking to sprinkle a little negativity on the board.
No $hit. A $5K REFUND! This sounds drug related to me. And why would you leave $5K in plain sight?
If I'm the perp, I tell the cops I work for the IRS, and was conducting a field audit.
Kid will never get all his cash back. Once the cops get cash, good luck getting it all back.
Nothing on NJ.com yet but it's just a matter of time since the OP did their homework for them.
This situation sucks for sure. It's also fair to bring it up just as an item to discuss. This is literally the first time a Stony Brook player has been in any kind of trouble with the law at all in the past 11 years (since Pikiell got there). A few years ago there were rumors that a player got in trouble in the dorms and Coach Pikiell removed him from the team. After going to junior college for a year that player came back to SBU and was on the team again this year. Pikiell was firm but fair with the kid and gave him a second chance. I guarantee all the Stony Brook guys on staff are sick about this, but if they were still at Stony Brook they would have dealt with it harshly.
The other thing, as others have mentioned, it will be interesting to see how it plays out as the story has lots of holes in it. I am not sure what we know now will end up being the final outcome. Innocent til proven guilty.

That 2 kids recruited in to the Stony brook program apparently broke the law. Not enough data to form any conclusions, but data nonetheless.
Something is not right about this story, college kid with $5k tax refund in a rented car. This has nothing to do with Coach, If you do not think he had to take some questionable players at Stony Brook to win, then your nuts. It didn't happen on his watch.
I remember that time I got arrested (sike). The SL should write an article on how all 40 Rutgers professors were a bad influence and that this reflects poorly on Rutgers Admissions office and they should be reprimanded.
Nothing to see here.

OK. Nothing to do with Rutgers though. If anything, speaks volumes of Coach Pikiell for keeping the kids in check during his tenure if they are such bad kids.
Two Georgia football players were arrested on weapons charges. So, does that reflect poorly on Coach Richt or Coach Smart ( or anyone)? You think anyone in Miami gives a crap?
Do they care, by and large? Probably not. Will it be a story in the Herald? Absolutely. It already was. http://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/article71308992.html
Just an AP story linked in their general National & World news section. No angle or mention of Richt at all. Just a run of the mill "football players behaving badly" story.
These two arrested means RU just hired a MBB HC that runs his program like the Flood did in football.
When will RU hire a HC that doesn't cause problems and makes you wonder the real reason Ash left OSU.
Fire Hobbs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its impossible for any coaching staff to have 24/7 control over every player on a team.There always will be a few bad recruiting choices that get in trouble at college.They must be disciplined by the criminal justice system and the school.
...I want to say this post means you're an idiot but I probably shouldn't.
I'm aware of who wrote it. And I can see it doesn't mention Richt. There doesn't have to be any mention of Richt; just like the story in the New York Post doesn't have an angle or mention Pikiell.
Interesting to note that I haven't seen any articles or tweets about this story from any NJ/Rutgers centric writers or columnists. One interesting exception: Tom "Proud Brick HS Alum" Luicci linked to a LI Newsday story.
Not surprised....there is ZERO reason for RU writers to pick up the story..
Unless somehow Pikiell knew/was involved, etc..it's a non-story as it pertains to RU.
