Won't matter. It will get thrown out based on 'lack of evidence', like every other Griz-affiliated DUI. Paul Ryan must have a nice little deal going with MPD, and the county too.

Is that what the student athlete code of conduct dictates? If so, is this setting a precedent that all second offenses will result in dismissal? Are there other factors involved?

No. NA. Yes, he plays basketball not football.

I tend to agree with PapaG at this point. He'll probably plea it down to some other charge. Poole, the OL busted buying X, will probably be back on the team in August, so no way this guy is booted, plus he's a starter.

Except the Griz need to free up a couple scholarships for incoming players...Coleman may have done them a favor, made it easier to send a scholarship athlete packing without to much complaining by the general masses and appearing to be making a stand against player brushes with the law.
