NBR: Memphis football player in altercation with Memphis basketball player

What does a school do when an athlete from one program attacks an athlete from another program? Whose side do they take? How do you handle it without showing favoritism? Interesting questions.

Can't read the whole thing without a subscription, but if it's clear who the aggressor was, he's the one that gets the boot.

I forgot about the subscription. Short summary: basketball player has been a problem all year,suspended a couple of times. He and football player get into argument over a woman and football player attacked the basketball player.

According to the report, Woodson and Davis were involved in a verbal disagreement -- over a female, a source told The CA last week -- that became physical after Davis grabbed U of M Associate Director of Athletic Academics Kristin Williams and "shoved her to the floor" to get to Woodson.

Quote:The 5-8, 170-pound Davis then lunged at Woodson, according to the report, and took the 6-10, 290-pound forward to the ground, resulting in "minor sheet rock damage to the walls in the area as a result of the assault."

Maybe. Did the 290 lb guy also play soccer ?

It's Memphis. They'll be permanently banned, until the first sign of trouble in their respective sports, then re-instated.

The employee shoved to the floor should file an assault charge. At any reputable school, that alone would get him kicked off the team -- and probably out of the University.

Note the word "reputable," which will never apply to Memphis.

So everyone here seems to believe that if one athlete in one sport assaults an athlete in another sport, then that athlete should be removed from the team.

Interesting.

To answer MB's original questions, they should be treated as any other students.

I know. Fat chance.

I knew exactly where you were going with this and that's why I didn't reply. I don't think every case is cut and dry. I was standing in the Blount hall parking lot with a friend one day and these two idiots decided they were going to storm at us and tackle us. Was it dumb? Yeah. Should they have been expelled?(if they were students, never found them) Even as a victim id say no.

One dumb decision doesn't define most people. It's how you learn and grow from past mistakes that defines you.(in the normal realm here, murder or something along those lines is different). Since this thing with Frazier happened you have wanted to be judge jury and executioner. Can you imagine why your life would be like if every time you made a mistake you were not given a second chance?

If the victim is OK with second chances, then so am I.
