    I never said they don't act like other students. But these kids aren't acting like Indiana where there have been 7 incidents publicly over the last few years involving drugs and alcohol.
    And ya Ayegba was suspended because his legal guardian bought a plane ticket to bring over his parents from Africa before he was a Hoya. Sounds like an institution out of control.

    John Turner, a former Georgetown University basketball forward, has been arrested on charges of possession of crack cocaine with the intent to distribute.

    Turner, along with four others, was arrested Monday at a recreation center in Glenarden, Md., a Washington suburb, according to Maryland National Capital Police.

    Police said they believe Turner and his associates were planning to sell 51 grams of crack cocaine. Turner posted $30,000 bail and was released. If convicted, he could face a 10-year prison sentence, officials said.

    Turner's scholarship was not renewed by Georgetown, after Coach John Thompson told a national television audience that he had learned Turner and freshman Alonzo Mourning had been seen in the company of Rayful Edmond III, an alleged drug dealer.

    Of course college kids drink. I'm not naive enough to think kids at my school don't. But we haven't had 7 kids cited or arrested for DUI, drug offenses or alcohol citations. That's on a coach.
    Also, when is your backwards country going to lower your drinking age? 21?

    You're missing the point where star center Alonzo Mourning did get his scholarship renewed, despite the same transgressions as John Turner. Also, this is clearly within the 30 year window that you requested. I don't feel like doing much more research here, because it isn't really taking much to prove that you don't know what you're talking about

    He was seen next to a drug dealer? Haha.

    All that research and this is the best you could come up with? There is no lack of institutional control, there is no academic fraud, coaching staff doesn't pay to recruit and the kids in the program stay out of trouble and go to class.
    Now if only we could make it out of the first weekend in the ncaa's then I'd be happy.

    This is from a supposed Georgetown fan, presumably one with more knowledge than you (http://www.daxdevlonross.com/writings/growinguphoya.html)

    After Iverson bolted for the NBA my interest in the team waned markedly. I vaguely followed the career of another enormously talented hazard who’d arrived on Georgetown’s campus a year after Allen Iverson named Victor Page. I knew Vic from way back. We’d come up together; played on the same AAU team, the Kalorama Saints. When we were fifteen we’d traveled to the AAU Nationals in Kingsport, Tennessee. Vic was our leading scorer and was eventually named an All-American at the end of the tournament. Our team finished seventh out of more than sixty teams from around the country. We called him leg because his left leg was so powerful. Even at fifteen and a shade over 6'1", he could take off from anywhere inside the foul line and finish above the rim. I’ll never forget our first game in Tennessee when he dunked on a player trying to take a charge. The poor kid had to be carried off the court. The next day he was wearing a mammoth knee brace and was on crutches. Vic had rare talent and even rarer courage but he couldn’t escape his past. He went undrafted in 1997 despite his incredible talent. Spent several years tears in the CBA. Then he got shot and wound up losing an eye. The last I’d heard of him (and Charles Smith) was from a friend who still lived in D.C. He’d seen both of them standing on street corners looking bad, real bad. Just hearing these stories broke my heart, I could only imagine what they, and all the equally pitiful ones I don’t even know, did to Big John. It’s little wonder that he relented mid-season in 1999. He’d reached his limit. Couldn’t take it anymore. Not just the losing, but the loss. The marijuana conviction of one player; the car wreck of another, the disappearance, transfer and arrest for assault with a samurai of a third player; and, perhaps the most disturbing of them all, a former player’s arrest for stalking Thompson. After a while you wonder what you’re doing. After a while the levy just bursts.

    Vic is a piece of work. Had so much talent but was hard to the core. Still in jail I think.
    But other than Brunner it's all former players. Keep scouring the Internet for fringe stories.

    It's between Duke and Kansas. He is going to Duke on a visit on the 18th then to Kansas on the 25th. Kentucky is in the mix but is behind Duke and Kansas.
