I didnât read line by line, I skimmed it fast, but it appears a student can be suspended from the university for being charged with criminal behavor which he was according to the news reports. The fact that it happened on university grounds and to another student (I assume his girlfriend was a student) will not help his case with the university for suspension.
But, the news reports said suspended from the football program and not the university as a student.
I guess weâll find out.

Silly me, but Isnât the accused supposed to get a speedy trial by an impartial jury of his peers?
If the female was actually living with him that alone violates a University rule.
And why didnât the coaches know that?
Cullen Oaks is very strict with their policies and they do room checks constantly. I donât know how it wasnât caught if she really was living there. Those people over at CO make it their business to know everything.

I am surprised they allow freshman in university apartments. I see they have one bedrooms there also, so its possible he didnât have a roommate (except for his girlfriend 
).
I have been to many universities with my daugther and I donât believe I have seen that policy at other universities.
Pretty nice!

Derek was at CO freshman and sophomore year. He was in a 4 room, 2 bath suite. Each room can be locked and each side of the suite could be locked. I know a one bedroom was VERY difficult to get, especially as a freshman. I also thought was against rules.

I would think a one bedroom for a freshman would be pretty difficult. I am still surprised they allow freshman in anything but dorms. That is pretty much the policy at most universities.
CO is basically the athletic complex, all sports and coed. Athletes used to live in Cougar Place I believe until CO was designated athletic housing.
I assume that means the majority of the students are athletes that live at the place, The NCAA outlawed designated athletic dorms or housing in the late 90s trying to integrate athletes more into the general student population.
I see CO is privately owned but is in partnership with the university to provide student housing.

Yes, majority are athletes. And I noticed males and females were kept separate by floors.

The floor separation is probably smart!

Did that change? I used to live there and males and females lived next door to each other.
When Derek lived there they had the team grouped together on the same floor as much as possible, I never saw any females on their floor. It could be they just wanted to keep the team in close proximity to each other.
no doubt the university does and all entities that must rely on the government or those that succumb to the pressures of organizations or groups.
The speed limit is a law that should be obeyed. Last time I looked âme tooâ isnt a law, it is a movement.
In the mid-90s when I was in law school at UH, I lived in Cougar Place. Athletes lived in BOTH Cougar Place and Cambridge Oaks.
But plenty of non-athletes like me lived in both places as well.
As I said before, as long as his roommates didnât mind, wanted him to âget some,â and werenât willing to ânarcâ on him, I can definitely see how they might have gotten away with being âpracticalâ co-habitants.
In the frat house that I lived in as an undergraduate, that stuff happened all the time.
One of the arguments against the NCAA rule for no athletic dorms/housing is that it is harder to keep track of the athletes and to some extent under control. Some research shows that athletes getting in trouble has increased without the dedicated housing for athletes. Not sure where the NCAA stands on considering such a change. The NCAA moves like turtles on almost all.
My daugtherâs freshman year at WSU they grouped all the athletes together on the same dorm floors (men and women) in an overall co-ed dorm. Or at least in higher concentrations of the athletes. She didnât like it. Felt that some of the male athletes felt liberties to come and go into their units at will which irratated her.

The story of Ray McElrathbey, a Clemson football player turned into a movie is a situation where he took custody of his little brother with his mother in extended drug rehab and he got busted by the program for keeping his brother in his room against the rules. Then moving to off campus housing he got into trouble from NCAA rule violations for taking donations or help of any kind.
University owned housing will be far stricter. Private / school housing (such as CO) is also looking for revenue by the student and will be looking for co-inhabitants who arenât paying. Just depends on the place with how strict they are.
Yes, I can see where that would be frustrating. I donât think Iâd go for that either.
