Every college student has done this. I've saved hundreds of dollars this way.

 

I've never done it. I only snuck booze into places that weren't serving.

At seventeen bucks a pound, you'd almost HAVE to steal king Crab legs. -Sometimes you just really, really need them. I've been in that situation before. Luckily, I was able to get help. :D

Back in the day, (c. 1974) our entourage actually used to bring a backpack full of Genny Cream into the Buffalo State Pub.

This would happen once a week, no kidding.

We'd plop the backpack under a table. No questions asked.

So Mitch McGary's college basketball career is over because he experimented with a joint in private, yet Jameis Winston remains the front runner for the Heisman after attempting to steal crab legs. Both these kids are stupid for what they did, yet their treatment from the NCAA couldn't be more disparate. The NCAA is such a screwed up institution. As much as I hate the idea of changing things (e.g., Northwestern union vote), the current situation is getting pretty intolerable as well.

The bolded statement is false. His college career is over because he made that decision. He could have accepted his suspension and played after he served the time. He opted not to.

 

I assume the punishments vary because drug related suspensions have a set penalty. I would assume the code of conduct each athlete needs to adhere to would be the same and that each specifically prohibits drug use. I doubt there is any rule devoted to stealing crab legs and so the penalty would be up for debate. If there was a rule against it, it would be in the "Don't Be a F#@$ing Idiot" section of the code of conduct.

There was no decision to make. Accepting the suspension would have led to two consecutive seasons of no competition (other than a few games to start the 2013/14 season). He could have gone pro last year and in hindsight he should have. If Winston was suspended a year for his idiotic behavior, he would be declaring for the draft as well.

Sounds reminiscent of the tattooed one (Terrelle "Trade me for Mr. Irrelevant" Pryor).
