Not taking a victim approach, just think it's unnecessary. There are a lot of other things you could call me out about, choosing this one seems odd.

Joshua Tupou, CU Buffs lineman, facing assault charges in University Hill brawl

This will be an interesting litmus test.
They did it with Jim Leavitt so there's precedent for it happening again. Hopefully, if everything gets plea bargained down in court and no serious punishments are handed down, they'll forego the "self-imposed" punishments.
That isn't how that meme works, cmon Nik
I think it would be more appropriate to say that the "non football" people running the school allow due process to occur prior to making a knee-jerk reaction. If player is exonerated or found to be dealing with a misdemeanor charge, then allow the coach to punish accordingly. I don't ever want anything swept under the rug when it shouldn't be.
Look, I'm not advocating for the administration to do something wrong or immoral; I'm simply saying they shouldn't unnecessarily hamstring the football program by imposing further punishments on Tupou than the actual court does. They do not need to go above and beyond, to prove a point like they seemingly did with Sipili.
FIFY!
Yeah, I'm not seeing what 'Tini did wrong.
You and I are on the same page about how this process should occur. I just thought that "swept under the rug" was not the best choice of words because of what it implies.
I think tini has built up so much ill will with numerous members that he now tends to rub people the wrong way even if he isn't necessarily doing anything really wrong. Of course he still does plenty to deserve his reputation.
You're right, that makes it sound like they are looking the other way when they know a football player is doing something wrong.
However, a discussion has been had before about MM's recruiting and how he doesn't have the big time "mindset" to recruit well, where that mindset being of potentially "cutting some corners" or recruiting practices that might toe the line a little bit, as long as it meant CU started getting 4* or 5* players. If that's the mindset about recruiting, don't you think a similar approach should be taken when talking about how "non-football" university officials deal with matters such as these?
I try not to beat up 'Tini too much, outside of threads where he's considering moving back in with his parents.
But I fully understand Abs' point here. I was left with the impression that 'Tini was justifying a defense attorney's remarks as some sort of rallying point for hope, and not seeing them for what they were.
And then 'Tini confused the Sipili event (Sipili event one with Sipili event two). In that case we had a football player get in a fight, and it seemed like there would be insufficient legal ramifications to prevent his playing time. But then the student board rolled in and suspended him. That's a real concern here.
Not related to this thread specifically, but to me it's that most of his posts are opinion stated as fact which rubs people the wrong way, and that if someone disagrees with him he goes on the defensive rather than actually considering an opposing viewpoint. That's why any disagreement with him turns into an argument rather than a discussion.
Then there's these "everyone else is the jackass" type posts:
No one is required to respond to Tini. Ignore the post, and we don't have this discussion.
I've changed my mind. **** 'Tini, that mother****ing ****face.
EDIT: And Burrito too.

Actually that is what I call a "smartass" post
Lick my grundle.
No sweat on the truck--though I'm a little concerned by the quotation marks. Wait! What did we agree to again?
Is "borrowing the truck" the same thing as "going fishin' with Luke"?
Bunch of tulips and a chicken burrito eating mofo. Shut up already or fight damnit lol.
The arrangement was made over the phone. I couldn't see the quotes!
Pull up your pants Luke I don't think you are going to see your version of a cat fight.
Oh I'd drown Orr, he better stay there.
I've agreed to fight you like ten times Luke. When are you gonna get around to walking that walk, chicken-tulip?
Anytime sucka just don't hit me hard.
I'm gonna hump your head.
