I sincerely hope, if found guilty, these four players are punished severely. Vanderbilt should never tolerant this kind of activity. But I also hope the anti-football crowd, the same crowd that gave us decades of defeat, does not prevail in throwing out the baby with the bath water. If you are suggesting (like the anti football crowd does) that you cannot complete the two elementary tasks of successful academics and successful athletics simultaneously, then I vehemently disagree with you. The good Lord gifted both endeavors for the enjoyment of mankind.

Vandy should be kicked-out of the league for this ... and an invite to Texas immediately offered.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. I've fought the anti-athletics crowd for years. Just very disappointed right now. Great post by the way.
