TMG and Tiny, maybe they are not great students, but they did nothing worse than miss a few practices and they were punished accordingly. They did nothing to shame the program off the court.
Pledge and Fitz made terrible mistakes. They did shame the university, team, coach, and most importantly themselves with their foolish actions. Let's just get this 1 thing straight, though. Misdemeanor theft is not even in the same stratosphere as any kind of rape, homie. Theft (in most cases) is dealing with a non-living object. I may be in the minority, but I put rape almost equal with murder and both are unforgivable. Pledge and Fitz by all accounts have been solid student athletes. They are not a menace to the campus like Pilgrim apparently is.
