Sorry, got side-tracked with RL. Sort of in order to questions asked:

The students were suspended because school codes dictate any student arrested on a felony is suspended, I believe.

Again, I do think the possibility of reprisals against all students by a lynch-mob mentality may have prompted the suspension of games, etc. Add to that, prior warnings to coach/team about behavior. Undeniably, there was underage drinking going on in a university-owned premises. I really don't see that he had a choice. Yes, some of the team members were not there, but most were.

I am not a Duke student, I am the parent of a Duke junior.

I am more appalled by the treatment the team received at the hands of other students and faculty than I am at the administration's stance.

BTW, please don't misunderstand me. I feel for all the members of the lacrosse team. They did not deserve this.

Karma is a b*tch, and I can't wait for it to catch up with Nifong, AV, etc.

You are appalled that the students are supporting the LAX players. That the students are wearing Tshirts that say INNOCENT UNIL PROVEN GUILTY?

Something is very fishy about you, my dear.

They own the house?
