thank God we didn’t pay off their student loans to boot!
Thanks.
Who would have ever thought there would be coke in frat houses?
These idiots deserve all the prison time they will get. A conspiracy with a lot of people involved who are not skilled in criminal conspiracy is an invitation to being prosecuted and imprisoned.
Where’s Joe Paterno when you need him?
Sadly, their real crime wasn’t selling cocaine; their real crime was selling cocaine in someone else’s territory.
From Penn State to the State Pen.
Cocaine is a popular sorority drug. I was a faculty advisor for a fraternity.

They needed the dues
