Bama deserves to get throttled a bit for this. Even most fans were against this signing, and he didn't even last 80 days. He couldn't even abstain through lent from choking a woman.

But this writer is kinda a douche....

Sadly, the ugly matter really goes beyond Alabama. Shouldn't there be a national policy in place that prevents players convicted of felonies -- and those who are accused of such crimes but who haven't yet faced criminal trials -- from transferring to other schools? Sure, people can be rehabilitated and learn from their mistakes, but that doesn't necessarily mean they deserve to play college football and receive a scholarship.

Domestic violence charges I can agree with, key the dust settle before a transfer. But to prevent any kid who catches a felony, you're guaranteeing they are going back to the hood, and probably to commit worse crimes to survive. Kick them/suspend them from the team. But let them stay in school while they try to learn their lesson.

I get what you're saying, but universities aren't rehab programs. Attending them is a privilege that you have to earn.

If you're concerned about the well-being of a felon, put him/her in a treatment facility. That applies to all students who cause problems like this. Guys like Taylor have no business being college students.
