That, and I'd like to see their definition. Are they only looking at when charges are pressed, was the actual player arrested, etc.
If Florida and Florida State aren't in the Top 5, it's not an accurate list.
What can he say? The Nits had 11. But nothing will ever compare to their child sex scandal - and even worse, the institutional cover-up.
Meh, I remember seeing the headline about the story a few days ago.
I still reference the Outside the Lines article, which focuses on how many athletes do something, and then have their status get them out of trouble. Only wish it would have mentioned more schools, and included urban schools (Pitt, BC, Miami, etc) as well.

that OTL video said that about a quarter of florida football and men's basketball players were involved in a criminal incident during the time period they studied (2009-2014).
"about" 25%? wow. that is just, yeah. wow. hey florida, that's, uh, kind of a lot.

Wow--what the hell is going on in Pullman WA?
Had to laugh seeing Michigan on that list--that;s how much that proud, holier-than-thou program stooped under RR and Hoke. It would have been unthinkable 10 years ago to see them in that top 20. Bo has been rotating in his grave like a rotisserie chicken for a good 8 years now.
The list I'd like to see are "serious crimes." I dont care if our players are arrested for bar fights, urinating in public, or heck, even DUI if you're not really drunk. Like Boyd's I could care less about. Blair's was bad.
Don't worry. He'll find a way to twist it as PSU = Boys will be boys or Franklin's on top of it and Pitt = Miami 2.0 with a hint of "this wouldn't have happened if Tom Bradly were the coach."
According to the source website, Winthrop led the country in 2014 in arrests.

The arrest nation site includes Mike Haywood. That's ridiculous.
But here's the context: Abnormally low arrest numbers and unusually high graduation rates always raise my eyebrow. Unless, of course, you're conducting a Grand Experiment.
What would be more telling is the median number of arrests across all Division I programs, with school-by-school comparisons.
Then there's the campus context: How many cops (campus and city) are roaming a place like Oakland compared to, say, South Bend, State College, Eugene or Clemson?

LOL....I don't think that fits the sensationalist nature of the storyline.
