Dismissed from the team .... He is a senior right?

How about some criminal charges.  If he did this on the street what would happen?

Agree 100% Mike but I'd be surprised if that happens. At least the AD acted before they got on the bus to leave town. Not sure what else could have been done to send a message.

Memphis paper reported he graduated in December with a degree in professional studies/organizational leadership (sounds somewhat like advanced basket weaving). Though he had exhausted his eligibility, removing him from the team will prevent him from participating in future team activities and using team facilities.

Full ramifications, if any more, still unknown so it remains to be seen how much he messed in his mess kit. Everyone in town is embarrassed by this thug.

Rulesman that degree will qualify him as President of the United States.
