In all seriousness, as awful as it is, you can't punish the kid before he's on the team. Kicking someone off a team and revoking your commitment to give them a spot are two completely different decisions. Especially after signing day, when it removes his chance to play anywhere else
this is correct. and if there are no criminal charges filed then there is really no reason to disqualify the kid.

well, they can do what LSU did with Jeremy Hill (team vote, i know). LSU wouldn't allow him on the team his freshman season until his legal issues were settled. This caused him to delay playing for an entire season out of high school. If that's the end result for Simmons, well that's just something he's going to have to take responsibility for and deal with. But I do agree that it's a little difficult to completely cut ties with the kid before he's ever stepped foot on campus without a criminal conviction.
ETA: I still think State will cut ties with him, though. Violence against women is a pretty hot topic right now, and State would face a ton of PR backlash if they don't handle this correctly
