Looks like Rolle is under investigation for retail fraud. Let's just keep our mouths shut about other programs since we have some of our own issues here. It's not the players behavior, but the consequences and accountability that ensues...

Good for the coach!! He stood by the values he emphasizes.

So WMU has no problem stepping out and announcing how an ethical situation will be handled with student athletes, while EMU states they can't talk about it when a breach of conduct involves one of their athletes.

Can't or won't? If WMU can EMU can. Or am I missing something?

It looks more like Drew did the legwork and found Rolle's court date than anything WMU announced

Now if the good old ball coach actually LIVED by the values he emphasizes.

That's ALL I am saying.

Oh the internet, where you can irresponsibly infer something without consequences. Good times.

Or where you can choose to not say what you know to be true.

But you are correct I probably shouldn't have said anything at all. Even though I have wanted to for a few weeks now.

Just wondering whether these were PJ's recruits or Cubit's. I know they're sophomores, and both played against Purdue.

This story was breaking news on today's WZZM news at 5. Retail fraud is serious. Apparently, there was a former Bronco player also involved, and another current player who was cleared of any involvement.

This Drew's other problem. He doesn't know how to pick his battles. The guy has no feel for the politic of business.

Kengerski broke it on twitter before Drew did.

Credit where credit is due.

That means he starting the wrong quarterback even though you know better.

DB will even become a Fleck apologist if it means he can perpetuate 500 more pointless posts.

More in depth article by DD posted on mlive.

I'll refrain from all comments...other than this is very disappointing.

Wow... stupid.

Don't understand this sentence:

Quote:When contacted, Lee referred a reporter to WMU's sports information department.

Why on earth would WMU officials not tell Fleck until today? Something doesn't add up here...

Think.

Think for us, please

Too bad! Both of these players saw time and are young.

Rolle could very well be a victim of circumstances as he stated in the article.

Hopefully, these consequences will speak loudly to the rest of the team and to Lee and Rolle as well.

As Obama said the other day, "now they are even against the things they used to be for".
