You won't be, Ent. No one would know unless it was on campus or made the news in some way.
Apparently this wasn't even ruled a felony assault, and his story is the woman attacked his sister. I don't know. It's Mss State, so I am not hoping for the best out of him. It would benefit me if he were kicked out. Personally, though, I don't think that's the right thing to do for a misdemeanor. Now, if the argument is he should have faced more legal troubles to begin with, I view that as a completely different argument.

I don't think a university's mission is to be a rectifier of the legal system's perceived mistakes. But fine. If you do, apply it evenly and across the student body - not just with the football team.

Aa... If you were caught on tape beating a woman, do you think your employer would say don't worry about it? I'm confident I'd be let go..
And if also suggest universities create cultures beyond the law in what they feel is acceptable or not. Treatment of the LGBT communities on campus was years ahead of the laws, imo

Grammar... The difference between feeling your nuts and feeling you're nuts.
Yeah...and I don't think you can use the term "legal system" to compare these matters either. Pot usage and violent crimes against women are almost always prosecuted at the municipal/county level, where there are variances in how these matters are approached.
You can make the case that one judge is...beyond that its stretching the anecdote to the point it squeals. Which is more or less my point. You are suggesting uniformity where there is none.
It depends. Felony assault? Probably. Misdemeanor with extenuating circumstances and I didn't miss work time or serve jail time? No.
Anyway...
So, you get in a fight. You hit someone several times. What you're saying is that person should face legal trouble, get kicked out of school, fired from their job...what else? Kicked outta church? Marriage annulled? Planet Fitness membership revoked? What other supernumerary punishments or penalties should you face for said misdemeanor? Is there due process in the Planet Fitness revocation? Because I kind like that place.
