Where's the outrage??

ok i'll give you guys a break since his last name isn't Vick...he got pushed to the back pages




COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State kicker Jonathan Skeete returned to the team as a walk-on following his suspension and arrest on drug trafficking charges.

Skeete was suspended from the school and team when university police arrested him in May. He was convicted in October and sentenced to a year of probation. He reapplied to Ohio State when his suspension expired, and he was readmitted.

Ohio State coach Jim Tressel allowed Skeete back on the team because he met the requirements to return to school.

"He should get every right of any other student," Tressel said.

The 19-year-old Skeete, who redshirted in 2004, was stripped of his scholarship when he was suspended. He will have to compete with scholarship kickers Ryan Pretorius and Aaron Pettrey as the Buckeyes try to replace departing senior Josh Huston.

"This is a kid who made a terrible mistake," Skeete's attorney, John Waddy, said. "But the university is willing to forgive that mistake, so should we throw away the key and never allow him to be part of society? I don't think that's what the university wants or what the general population wants."

doesn't look like he has a record the length of john holmes' [censored] either...

Its the buckeyes, come on, you know they are excluded from this kind of discussion lol.

tOSU* isn't worth conversation. Tressel runs a corrupt program up there as it is...can't wait til it all catches up with him and tOSU* will have to rebuild from ground level against the likes of Mount Union or something.

Key Word = Kicker.

so it makes a difference


if you were a coach you'd hold your players responsible differently depending on their positions???

Not me. He should not be back on the team.

Actually it was meant as a joke, should had put the smiley on it. He should be kicked off of the team, to make room for an athlete that is not as dumb. Maybe if schools quit letting kids with criminal records into to school, they may not choose to do the crime knowing that it may keep them out of college.

kid chose ohio state over academic scholarship to northwestern and didn't have so much as a parking ticket on his record before getting to osu

Couldn't agree more. Tressel ran a shady program at Youngstown St. and is doing the same thing at O$U. He got Clarett free cars to drive and bogus jobs that required no work and full pay. Do you expect him to hold players to a higher standard?
