In that case, I put our number at 0%**MSU police redacted all names from police reports; therefore, it's not possible to accurately determine the total number of athletes or crimes.
**this claim cannot be verified.

Saw a tweet about this study yesterday. Cringed when I saw Michigan State on the list of those studied. Why would they pick MSU? Luckily the findings were actually pretty bland for us.

That is some really misleading journalism. They give you data but then mention the data is both unreliable and invalid. So give me some data that is actually trustworthy.

I think our fine student-athletes deserve the benefit of the doubt.
All other schools are crooked, they cheat and should burn in hell.

Why wasn't Duke a part of that study? They always get a free pass.

in defense of the NCAA, I think Duke is in it's own league when it comes to crime and cheating.steveschneider wrote:Why wasn't Duke a part of that study? They always get a free pass.

To wit,
Michigan State might prove an example of what happens when everyone is afforded the same legal counsel; students there can get a free defense attorney through the school's student legal services.
As a result, East Lansing Police spokesman Lt. Steve Gonzalez said, a lot of Michigan State students get attorneys for even the most minor cases, such as a ticket for having alcohol in public. And those same attorneys show up on athletes' misdemeanor cases.
When Outside the Lines analyzed the results of case dispositions involving Michigan State students compared with a set of East Lansing cases involving college-age males, there appeared to be no discrepancy like those seen at Florida State and Florida. About 62 percent of MSU athlete cases resulted in no record, dismissal or plea to a lesser charge of civil infraction; among the comparison set, it was 66 percent.
Jesus.

Agreed. Way to rush out this "study" and never explain why these schools were selected? Why not vandy, NW, or Stanford? How about Miami usc or other perceived renegade programs?
