How exactly is this calculated?

Points are scored for each charge received by players. (Players must be on the team roster at the time of the offense). The scoring for the Fulmer Cup is imprecise — murder is 5 points; rape, bestiality, and grand larceny are 4 points; assault et al. are 3; drug possession et al. are 2; and misdemeanors are 1 point.[2] Bonus points are awarded for arrests that occur under interesting and unusual circumstances.
In order to be eligible to win the Fulmer cup, a school must have more than one player charged. In other words, a school may not win the cup on the basis of a single player's criminal record. This is known as the Ellis T. Jones III rule, after the San Jose State wide receiver who in 2006 was charged with 13 felony counts, including robbery, assault, and kidnapping; accumulating 31 points.

:lol:
 
I forget what this symbolizes again.... I know I am proud NOT to be on it...

The Fulmer Cup is a tongue-in-cheek award given each year in the United States to the Division I FBS college football program whose players collectively have the worst criminal record.[1]
The Fulmer cup was conceived in 2006 by sports blogger Orson Swindle, a fan of football rival Florida, and named for then-University of Tennessee football coach Phillip Fulmer. While Fulmer was coach, the Tennessee team had over 20 players arrested for criminal activity in a 16 month period from 2004 through 2005. This mirrored a similar outbreak of criminal activity at the University of Tennessee in 1995 when 9 players were arrested. Since this seemed to be a recurrent theme at Tennessee under Fulmer, the cup was named in his honor (USA Today). The University of Delaware holds the record for highest score among Division I FCS programs.

NIce... just sent this to my father in law.... who is obnoxious about how clean Penn State is.....
 
Why do the Yoots have an asterisk?

They don't say but I think it because of this:

Normally a garden variety DUI is two points, but Fotu was almost tripled up BAC-wise and driving the wrong way down the interstate. The three point extreme DUI is brought out special for the occasion here, and a bonus point is applied because yeah, wrong way driving down the interstate is a bonus, especially when you tell the officer in extremely slurred words that you only had one or two beers. (Standard beer size in Utah: one Royal Navy regulation grog barrel. Screw you, judgey Mormons!)
 
I've looked at the Fulmer Cup before and thought it was a complete joke. The simple fact that there is not a single SEC team in the top 10 makes it suspect in my mind.

Don't the cops in SEC land make these types of situations "go away" for football players?

It's early. It is named after a former SEC coach.

Give it time, the SEC usually dominates this thing.
 
I'm just glad Sipili was off the team when he got in trouble... (I wish he didnt get in trouble at all, but if it had to happen.....)
 
#1 search result on google when I typed in "2011 complete Fulmer Cup standings. Oh, and Auburn is at #1 with 80 points :lol:
