Our players are, in many ways, the public face of our University. For this reason, their misdemeanors hurt more than their team; they put a blemish on the reputation of the University too. It is always difficult for outsiders to propose a course of change for insular institutions such as sports teams. But it is clear that the status quo cannot continue...
