I know this has been a topic of discussion all day long, but I don't know that I've seen much talked about as far as why it took 2-3 weeks for this to get out. Normally Dabo is very swift with his decisions, which are the right ones, in my mind. This was an arrest that happened in Clemson, so not exactly your typical spring break partier arrest.
I'm a student here at Clemson and while I don't partake in any of the stuff myself, I've heard stories of him partying pretty hard and have heard from witnesses who claim to have seen him snorting coke in the past, so this isn't exactly a first time thing for him - not that it is for a lot of people who get busted with drugs, as well. While a drug arrest can be very maddening when it's someone who has a lot provided for him, it isn't out of the ordinary for college students and athletes. I agree with some others here today on the fact that a DUI is intolerable and should receive a punishment much more serious.
Anyways, I'll hang up and listen.

The headline of Clemson suspending someone for coke on ESPN is embarrassing and makes us look like a SEC school.

statements about letting "justice run its course" and not being so quick to action.
Coach Swinney did exactly what we thought he'd do---suspend young Mr. Lakip from the team. I fear a suspension from the university is also in the cards. Hopefully, Ammon can overcome this drastic setback and get his degree and have a successful life

If we are more angry about the DUI part than the drug use

then it should be noted that cocaine doesn't really impair your ability to drive unless you are crashing. (coming down off the high)
Cocaine highs are similar to Ritalin, which America shoves down it's kids throats.

I just know they have nearly an identical chemical structure

and they have the exact same effect on the brain... Ritalin just takes longer and it's a smaller dose.
