So last month Senior linebacker for the Badgers, Jonathan Casillas was caught drunk driving on a moped. He was stopped by University police and received three citations: Over the legal limit, drunk driving and two people on a moped. I don't know about you but this was not a case that I heard all over sports centers but one that was only brought to my attention when emailed to me.
The University Coach said that Casillas has already been punished and the situation was taken care of. Although he needs to appear in court the University said his situation does not fall under the student-athlete discipline policy.
I think that this story sounds a little odd to me as to why would their would not be more consequences other than select coach discipline. Why should this situation be treated any differently because it was on campus, or on a moped, or for whatever reason. Although, most athletes think that they sould be above the law, it's rulings like this that make it easier for athletes to do whatever they want and not worry about major consequences.
