Do you guys feel Hurd only got cited BECAUSE he was a football player? Do they never cite normal students for the same thing?
Link I just viewed gave full report I'll paraphrase as from what I understand a non football player student was sleeping drunk in Jalens car in a parking garage when a cop came up saw the kid passed out, saw the car was registered to Jalen so he calls him to come get his friend Jalen voluntarily told the officer he had been drinking when asked and was issued a citation for underage consumption.
He was not arrested or cuffed or forced to call for a ride home, he simply got a ticket no more than if he wasn't wearing his seat belt while driving. He will play in the bowl game, he is practicing and this is a non issue.
If he plays in the bowl game I'm done. This preferred treatment of stars is a stain on the university. If Coach Jones doesn't do the honorable thing and suspend Hurd we have failed as a program.

When I read this, couldn't help but think Vol74 is their source. Lol.
This sounds like a way more credible story that the Tennessean's version. Tennessean ran with something only half way knowing what happened. They must be struggling pretty bad. Terrible.
