Bubu Palo charged with sexual assault

I'm guessing we don't see an actual trial before the beginning of bball season, would you let Bubu participate?
What an idiot. Fred gives you a scholarship and this is how you repay him, your teammates and the fans? Nice going, kid.
Of course not and neither will Fred. If Bubu is cleared of all charges he'll be able to play basketball somewhere else. If he's not, I suppose they play basketball in prison.
Do you think I'm defending him or something? He showed poor judgement in choosing to hang out with this guy, obviously.
What was he doing hanging out with a convicted felon for? For being the class act that people say (I've not met him) I would have thought he would have found some upstanding CF posters to hang out with.

To the guys saying CFH should let the legal system find him guilty first:
People get fired/kicked off of teams/impeached/etc. all of the time for even the appearance of impropriety...especially when they are semi-public figures/role models/community leaders/etc. Fair or not, the privilege of representing your university in athletic competition comes with a different set of ethical standards set entirely by the coaching staff, the athletic department, and the university overall. Athletes are, literally and figuratively, on a different playing field.
I'm not saying that Bubu should or shouldn't get the boot, but just that it is certainly not unheard of to dismiss athletes before they are found legally guilty. I have complete confidence that CFH, JP, and anyone else involved at the university will handle this appropriately.

1000% agree. Boot this kid asap.
Fred takes all these chances on guys....and the one guy who stabs the program in the back is a hometown kid who worked his way to a scholarship? Unreal.
Nope. Should be suspended indefinitely from all team activities until everything else is taken care of.
Looks like we're going to have another open scholarship? Who's out there right now to fill it?

frown:Not really. You're just choosing to turn yourself in instead of getting arrested on a warrant. Arrest =/= guilt.
Which with the legal process may allow him to play through half his senior year before anything comes down. I'm all for innocent until proven guilty. But I'm not okay with a guy wearing a Cyclone Jersey because the court of law can take years to finish a case driven by defendant delays.
