YSU Penguin Athletics / Players Caught
« on: July 16, 2011, 09:11:52 PM »
After my usually round of golf at The Lake Club today.... A so called booster told me some new dirt on our penguin athletes.
A Men's basketball player has been caught taking and selling drugs to other YSU athletes. Now I have no idea if this it true or not... but supposedly he was selling them to athletes on the football team and his own teammates! WOW! All the player that have bought the drugs have been ratted out to administration and the coaches. Something must be done about this! Either all the athletes are drug tested or dismissed from the athletic programs. Our are already known for being bad performance wise - administration needs to make and example out of these kids and not just let them slide thru. Letting them slide thru will not stop any of the kids from taking drugs. Who's responsibility is it to control or educate the athletes on sports performance or street drugs? Is the the Coaches? Athletic Trainers? Administration? Someone needs fired if you ask me - If the last 4 years there has been 4 or 5 related issues with drugs and YSU athletics. Some action needs to be taken. If we want druggies on our teams then we should recruit downtown youngstown - We need to mold our athletes into upstanding citizens.
On a side note - I have not read anything on the website about and football team and community service! The last thing I read about was when Heacock was coach. These coaches need to stop preaching about winning and preach about character.
