Still sounds like a lot of uncertainty. Remember media makes things as dramatic as possible. I'll withhold, judgment on the guy and let CPR do his thing

We are certain he is pleading guilty to a felony that occurred on central campus --- what more do we need to know -- he needs to go.

That should have exactly zero bearing on this decision. None.

Should have zero bearing on the decision? Maybe. But that's not reality. Reality is that this is the Big 12 and the world of college football is different than the real world. You do what you have to do to win games and if Albert can help us win games than the coaching staff will make sure he stays on the team.

In addition to losing a sense of safety and/or peace of mind on central campus? Is this what you are asking?? Being patted down and told "We run this place" doesn't take enough away from the young lady??

I am not saying that Gary is justified in what he did. Just clarifying that, in fact, NOTHING of Material value was taken.

He will likely get a suspended sentence and probation.

Not related to this topic, but perhaps Albert Gary made himself a self appointed Campus Watchman and thought the people in question "looked suspicious". :jimlad:

If Gary has been practicing that should tell you his status with the team. Unless he is handed jail time I'd expect to see him on the field.

He already served his suspension last year. The news on what happened is not news. We all knew what happened last year

The final decision will not rest with CPR. And it should not. It occurred on campus not too far from The Knoll. There will be no special decision for a student athlete vs a typical student.

It was a bb gun, plus he is good. If we want to compete with the best we need to be on a level playing field with them.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it a bb gun? If I remember correct I thought it was played off as some sort of practical joke? If it was a real gun and he was in fact trying to rob someone then I totally agree, but the whole incident seems a little cloudy for anyone with an outside view to really be making any judgments

These two are gems. A practical joke? You mean the practical joke that turned out to be a felony that he is pleading guilty to? That joke?

bahahahhahah

He is about to plead guilty to a felony. A felony that occurred on central campus not too far from the Knoll. That is new news. Albert is toast, as he should be. There is a new sheriff in town.

Exactly. Calling for his head today is plain ridiculous. Assuming he gets probation, he'll be on the field.
not gonna happen ...... ask yourself what would happen to a typical student when this verdict came down in this case --- a guily plea to a felony that occurred on central campus. The plea is new news -- and big news at that.

No new details arose from this. Maybe for you b/c you forget things easily but not for most. Albert likes toast but will be here

I am with rebecacy on this. Whether he "quits" or is "booted" or is otherwise unable, Gary will not be on the 2012 roster. But yes, I guess we will know soon.

He's already on the 2012 roster. Unless he is in jail, one of better receivers from last season, will be on the field.

Just what I read in one of the original threads. No need to "bahaha". Oh and for future reference don't use that for laughing makes you sound like a pretty big d-bag

Honestly I think he is getting it worse because he is an athlete. a normal student who held someone up with a bb gun and didn't take anything as part of a very stupid and cruel joke would not be facing the same level of scrutiny
