Maybe Judge bet heavily on Tech!
As a TECH grad, I'm outraged a judge can force the Institute to reinstate a player facing felony charges. You always hear of schools accepting shady athletes and protecting them from prosecution when they break the law and here my Alma Mater is being forced to compromise it's own integrity and standards...by a Judge overstepping his authority, no less.
Dittoes from another Techie with the same reaction! This is ridiculous.
This judge should instead reinstate those two cheerleaders who were "going at it" with each other in the ladies room of a bar last week.
What team?
It was an NFL team - Carolina Panthers, I think.
