Make no mistake, I am so conservative that my right arm does not reach far enough. But in this case, it appears that the road these men were going down was made visible and they have been given a second chance. There were no major felonies involved, and frankly, what they WERE charged with is something that could easily happen to any of us. I have myself bought a used gun before. Far better to give someone a second chance than contribute to the horrifying incarceration rates for trivial matters. There were no identifiable victims in the charges for these guys.
Good post. Well said.

Nonetheless, this situation has been and continues to be addressed outside the legal system but within the coaching system for our team. It's arguable which set of punishments we might consider to be worse if we were the ones facing it. But - giving second chances and earning your way back into good graces is another matter entirely. Rest assured that Saban doesn't take this stuff lightly and if you really think that, you haven't been paying attention. JMHO.
we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I don't think Saban likes his program potentially embarrassed but I'll be surprised if there is truly much if any discipline meted out.

It is absolutely true that Saban has no interest in seeing his program embarrassed, that's a fact. Despite your doubts, though... rest assured that outside of any real jail time, what they will undergo under team discipline will be far worse than they would otherwise. It is being addressed, will continue to be addressed throughout the summer, and nothing will be handed to them easily - there will be a process of earning back. And from our perspective, it will be internal and private.
JMWQHO.
