So Simmons has to move across country change schools and sit a year losing a year of eligibility? That is what Stringfellow had to do for those actions. He got a second chance but there were consequences what should Simmon's be?
If you want to compare Simmons and Stringfellow ok then Simmons should get the same consequence?

Well to start off, Stringfellow was kicked off his team by his old coach, which lead to him transferring to OM where Freeze accepted him w/ open arms. He wasn't froced to move across country, that was his choice. Also, he didn't lose a year of eligibility, it's called red-shirting, and this is punishment, it is an NCAA rule.
Maybe Mullen will make Simmons redshirt, who knows. But for OM to sit here and say things like "If Merlins allows that piece of crap woman beater to play for him, he's a bigger idiot than I ever imagined" is stupid when you have a player on your team who did the same thing. Yes, they both f'ed up, and yes, if it wasn't a 5*, Mullen would probably show him the door. But his job is to win FB games so all signs are pointing to him joining the team - his 2nd chance will just come a tad earlier.

Show me where Simmons is enrolled at MSU and that might be an oranges to oranges comparison. Stringfellow was on an active scholarship when he committed his assault while Simmons is still in high school. It's not on MSU to punish him, that's on the legal system and his family. Now, once he gets on campus, there will be certain stipulations for him to remain on scholarship just like some of your players.
