I set them straight. I'm just putting it out there. Don't care if they think I have an agenda, I just want people talking abou it and maybe it will get enough traction to get some media scrutiny.

Seven, I'm over on Bobcatattack. Better get over there and defend THE FELON like you did on the UT forum.

I'm flattered by your man crush, but I'm happily married.

I can't wait for you to post this on the NIU board next week.

If the NIU board wants to defend reinstating a convicted felon the day after his conviction, so be it. It tells a lot about a persons values when they blow off bad behavior as, "Well, everybody does it." No.....everybody doesn't do it. One team in the entire league has reinstated a convicted felon the day after his conviction. For whatever reason you seem bent on defending that......even more so then many Chip fans who themselves are embarrassed by Enos's decision and the image it projects on the school.

You keep excusing the bad behavior and I'll keep condemning it and we'll see which side of the fence peoples opinions fall on. You may have chit loads of clout on the Huskie board, but I doubt your fellow posters will compromise their values to be your e-buddy.

Nobody is defending Rawls or Enos. The only reason you're doing this is because he plays for CMU. You're "upset" about it because of who he plays for in football, not because of what actually happened. It's sad on your part. As plenty of people have pointed out to you, there's plenty of players in the MAC who have criminal records playing. Now should they be? Maybe not, but I don't see you on a crusade for any of them except the ones that plays for CMU.

If your not defending the behavior then why do you follow me from forum to forum and try to minimize the reinstatement of a convicted felon who is awaiting sentencing.

But by all means keep being an apologist for it

Why don't you go on every MAC forum out there and complain about guys with records playing who don't play at CMU? Seriously, it's such nonsense Toledo moved it to the Spin room.

What, are you slow? Name another MAC program who reinstated a convicted felon the day after he was convicted?

Owning up to a terrible indiscretion does not warrant total forgiveness, EXCEPT AT ONE MAC SCHOOL.

But by all means, keep defending it.

Jamaal Bass was charged with a felony for "assaulting" a Toledo band member, later pled down to a misdemeanor and you didn't say a word about it. NIU didn't suspended him at all. I think it was a joke he was charged to begin with, but it happened and you didn't say a word about it.

Who are you again? Why are you here?

Perhaps reading through the thread will yield the answers you seek.

Thanks.

Jamal Bass? Not aware of that. When was that? Was he reinstated right after his conviction, if so, and he's still around, I'd be happy to address that.

Part of the reason why the OU people are repulsed by this story and the UT people were slightly cautious is they have Csonte York to deal with. However, York is not in the same category as Rawls. The issue was Rawls being immediately reinstated the day after his conviction. WTF is wrong with you? Have you no moral compass? Do you have something against old ladies carrying credit cards? I don't get your concern. Don't get why you defend the indefensible. Are you married to a CMU fatty alum or something? Why do you care so much?

Oh, but he didn't own up to it -- until the police got involved about the Warrant he had and CMU was made aware -- that he Hid from the coaching admin, only until AFTER the 1st game -- and all that sh!t went down Months before the season started. THAT is another problem, and hits more home to suspensions. Avoiding owning up to the coaching admin when it occurs is a Big Deal, IMO. He never owned up to anything up until he was facing sentencing.

Also -- labeling him purely and only as a "convicted Felon". It is a Felony on record -- but it's also legitimately a Misdemeanor at the same time. A Felony is defined as something with a max sentence of Over 1 year in jail. With a high-court misdemeanor, it's still a misdemeanor -- you Officially cannot serve more than 1 year. Spending Way too much time looking into this, it's a conflict of laws about the issue -- a Hybrid Felony/Misdemeanor.

IMO, calling it purely a Felony would be misleading as calling it purely a Misdemeanor. Kind of like calling:

- Calling someone in the future a former AL Home-Run Champ... when it was of 2018 when baseball was on strike, except for 40 games, and the "champ" got 13 homers.
- Calling BYU a "G5" team. They're not part of a G5 conference, but not part of a P5 conference either. They are treated/called as such, but can't make the Access Bowl like G5 teams. There's no "5 conferences" they're part of.

In essence, calling it a High Court Misdemeanor, or "Felony Misdemeanor", would be the truly correct thing. It shows up on your record as a Felony, but you serve no time as a Felon since it's a misdemeanor.
