AU alum 2 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/story/7193014?MSNHPHMA Badgers RB Smith won't travel with team Associated Press, Updated 2 hours ago MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Wisconsin running back Lance Smith, who is facing battery charges, will not be allowed to play in away games this season. Lance Smith will miss Saturday's game at UNLV and games at Illinois, Penn State, Ohio State and Minnesota. Smith was suspended from the team in July after he was arrested, but athletics director Barry Alvarez reinstated him in early August just before the Badgers' first practice of the season. The team announced Wednesday that Alvarez and dean of students Lori Berquam had decided Smith would not play in away games. Smith is charged with pushing down his girlfriend during a dispute over a cab fare, refusing to let her leave his apartment and taking her money and shoes. He has apologized to the woman but pleaded not guilty to charges of battery and disorderly conduct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tigrinum Major Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 If he has bail requirements, he cant leave the state anyway. Not always true. He's not on probation. If they feel he is not a flight risk, they could allow him to travel wherever he pleases. I would imagine that the school could give the courts some assurances.

au9596 0 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Word: If he has bail requirements, he cant leave the state anyway. These sounds a lot like an ice cream story to me. Exactly what I was thinking!! Saban discipline = Shula discipline = Wisconsin discipline Did they all read the same handbook on how the players are just there for football!! This is getting ridiculous!! I am so proud to have a coach like CTT that holds the players responsible for their actions. It turns boys into men and that is why they are there, not just football!! WDE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUesquire 1 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Why are you people so quick to punish and discipline? There's plenty of time for that. Look, you can get a fresh start on punishment at the beginning of each year. There's so much to do right now, like coach football and win games at all costs. Just tell these players, "Look, come January...or at least a few days into January if things go well...your butt is mine." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's like telling a child, you did <fill in the blank>, but I'm not going to punish you now. I won't punish you for 4 months. Like that would work!

CCTAU 3,336 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 The odd thing is that I don't think I have ever heard of an away vs. home punishment. Who makes these things up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTim 3,456 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 The mistake was made when Wisconsin called sabear for advice on punishment issues concerning idiots/players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
