These criminals embarrassed their school and country. Now they are on a airplane home with all charges dropped. UCLA is going to ack like nothing happened. I hope the NCAA does something, but they probably won't.
Punks gonna punk, they should have their schollies pulled, kicked out of UCLA, and permanently banned from playing sports at any college but the NCAA has no huevos
Rumor has it that the NCAA will ban them from South Coast Plaza, Houston Galleria, Preston Center in Dallas for starters.
Looks to me like these entitled little pricks have endured a scare and a humiliation. I predict that even with the watering down of punishment these players will behave better and have more gratitude for the gifts which they are intentionally given. The punishment in China seems harsh ... but the crime in almost unthinkable to the natives. I don't have personal experience, but a friend who traveled to China said those people don't steal. He says he only locks his hotel rooms there because other westerners are in the building.
They have been suspended indefinitely from the team. Alford used very strong, but vague terms in describing the suspension and the possibility of a way back to the team. We shall see. If they return to the team this year, I will be disappointed in Alford, ucla, and the ncaa. They should get a one year suspension in my opinion.
Been to China 30 times. Not long ago (75 years ago) anyone caught stealing had their head removed from their body.
