Latest Shootings, Stabbings and other law breaking activities in college football

1. University of Miami defensive end Bryan Pata was shot and killed Tuesday night, shortly after leaving the practice field, school officials said.

Rest In Peace Bryan Pata

You had NFl aspirations and you were a tough player. This should have never happened.

2.Three Tennessee players were suspended Monday following their arrests for disorderly conduct and underage drinking at a nightclub after the Vols' loss to LSU.

It was starting tailback Arian Foster, safety Antonio Wardlow and fullback David Holbert, all 20 years old. Expect heavy punishment? HA! Fulmer suspended Foster for the first half of Saturday’s matchup against Arkansas, and Holbert for the game. Wardlow will not play against the 11th-ranked Razorbacks and also is suspended for Tennessee’s game against Vanderbilt on Nov. 18.

3.Wide receiver Nyan Boateng was stabbed by a female student over the weekend after the two had an argument, according to police.

Boateng was likely out for the season after having knee surgery anyway, but he was removed from the team until he can clear his name.


What's the deal? Is there no control of players in college football? Parents are not around, it's not the coaches job and maybe players may feel they're above the law. I guess the buck might stop at a prison jail cell?

OTHER NOTEWORTHY ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES EARLIER THIS YEAR

-Northern Colorado punter Mitch Cozad stabbed Bears starting punter Rafael Mendoza in the back of his right thigh in an apartment parking lot.

He was arrested, kicked off the football team and expelled from the university.

-Oklahoma's Rhett Bomar was kicked off the Sooners football team. The school said in a statement that the players violated NCAA rules by working at a private business and taking "payment over an extended period of time in excess of time actually worked."

Bomar apparently filed for 40-hour work weeks at a Norman, Okla., auto dealership, making up to $18,000, when he only worked 5 hours a week, Schad reported.

The QB got the boot.
