It's funny in the cover photo, you have what looks to be a Marshall coach. How fitting. :)
The News 8 article showed nothing exchanged in the emails about the problems -- but as pointed out there Were other troubles, and there were implications that discipline & keeping him on track were in order -- as if those details were off the record. BUT that doesn't imply they were criminal based -- as said concerns can be about not following team rules, skipping classes, being disciplined, etc.
Now, getting into the criminal stuff...

One thing is about character. Another thing is about an actual crime. You err on the side of arresting someone when it comes to that stuff, and that should be put in perspective. But it's the *4* times thing that does the damage, even if they're all dropped. Because you are recruiting not just based on criminal activity, but how they roll too, if that comes into question. Mason knew of 2 criminal accusations, apparently. Now, I understand the ability to still recruit someone if no criminal charges, but you better be Damn Picky on their character. If that's not Great -- punt the ball on that recruit.
It seems stuff was off the record about stuff in general to WMU. Probably happens a lot with kids who have a bad rep, but this one -- was a ticking time bomb.
