@MarineBob Well the local police will file charges because although Campus Corner is right next to the campus it is in not a part of university property. The sheriff dept. was also helping with it. And of course the students think that they shouldn’t be punished. Some of these youth have been given so many chances they don’t worry about it much. And who will get criticized if law enforcement stops doing checks at bars and restaurants and students get drunk and cause bad accidents that kill people?

The NCAA changed a lot of the rules for student athletes and housing etc. due to the crap that was going on at this university towards the end of Barry Switzer’s coaching career here. I heard stories when I was working there that never got leaked to the media that they had gotten by with and it got worse by the month. One of the maintenance in athletic told me that there were parties in the athletic apartments in the dorm area and someone took a machine gun and shot across the street one night towards the football playing field. And an athlete got stabbed in the dorms due to his friend catching him having sex with his girlfriend. A lot of stuff went on. The other things that got covered was causing a huge scandal on the university and it caused the NCAA to step in and change things. For example the dorms where the athletes were housed have to have a large percentage of non-athletes living there too now. And they put up security cameras in the buildings, got really strict on the opposite sex being in the dorms after hours. If they catch someone smuggling alcohol into the dorms it will get them kicked out and they’ll lose their scholarships etc. The last year I worked there a student who had moved in early and was on athletic scholarship got kicked out for bringing cases of beer into the dorm. They all get warned about what happens if they violate those rules and he thought he could get by with it before school started.
