I like this solution. We need Samson.

Samson Kafovalu Jailed

Has been suspended indefinitely. He is gone.
One more post like this and it is off to the gulag with you.
Signed,
Student Conduct Court and Champions of Free Speech Committee.
Given his history, I would be very surprised if this wasn't the end of his career at Colorado.
I need a more definite definition of indefinite.
That very well may be, but we have no indication yet that's the case.
You mean like, new **** could come to light?
Or anything. Maybe the coaches want time to discuss the next step? I just feel like any time there is a situation where the cops are involved, the natural thing to do would be an indefinite suspension, which could end up only meaning the first half at CSU or could be the entire season.
Indefinite allows time for decisions to be made. Of course if the student ethics board or whatever is in charge, I have no idea what this could mean for his career here.
It very well could be that they are waiting for more information but based on his history this may become more of a why should we keep you excercise. When it has happened this often do you want to count on the guy to not mess up when the season starts, also at what point does his conduct become a bigger negative than his benefit to the team.
Is that why you're upset? Because of his academic punishment?
I am upset that the Honor Council got to make the decision. Should have been left to the boulder courts if they decided there was criminal activity.

I have to agree with Shldr2Shldr on this one. If this had been his first offense, this would be treated very differently. However, this isn't his first offense and given the severity of the last one and the fact that alcohol was involved, it is likely that he had been told that he couldn't have another incident and that he needed to stay away from drinking. This alone would make it likely that he would be done at CU. Add this to the fact that apparently the boulder PD was trying to be nice to a football player (Wait, did we hire these guys away from the Lincoln PD?)....I would be more than a little surprised if the indefinite suspension didn't become permanent.
All of that is trivial though, because we are talking about a young man's life. What I see developing is a trend where Kafovalu is having problems with alcohol. I hope, regardless of whether we ever see him play again, that someone steps in and gets him some help.

This is the big thing. He isn't a pro prospect in all likelyhood, football is much less important than getting his life right. Unfortunately no matter what the resources are that has to start with him.
Please, no.
To make it worse (or better, depending on your point of view) it sounds like the BPD did everything they could to diffuse the situation before it got out of control. Had he simply done as instructed, he wakes up this morning with a hangover but is still on the team.
What a dumbass.
What a dumbass.
They have been extra good to the buffs considering the crap Samson and Robbins pulled while drunk. Good for them.
Yeah, I caught that too. Maybe the BPD and CUAD are finally on the same page.

Please, how many of you tried to get into thirsty's, tivoli, rock island or deadbeat club late? Isn't this board all about second chances? This is nothing, move on. I don't care if one of our best players blows up the space shuttle. WIN, WIN WIN, signed Emilio Estevez. ...
I thought that Alcohol was just for those with
nothing else to do
I thought that drinking just to get drunk
was a waste of precious booze
But now I know that there's a time
and there's a place where I can choose
To walk the fine line between
self-control and self-abuse

"Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread
And went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah, we couldn't destroy a single one
And the history books forgot about us
And the Bible didn't mention us
Not even once"
