I don't know how people can sweep this one under the rug. I don't think Principal is trying to "talk from the ivory tower" or even necessarily say that he agrees with the punishment, but simply pointing out that he DID do things that are considered wrong by the institution he represented. One of you mentioned the fine you got for drinking in the dorms....a fine you got because you were doing something against school policy. No one (no one here at least) is saying he or she is against pre-marital sex, but if the bolded statement is true (which I've heard was the big thing) then he did NOT have CONSENSUAL premarital sex. The girl consented to sex with a condom...NOT without. He was expelled by a jury of his peers by the way. You can be expelled for many things that may not be "illegal" in the city/state/country you live in....they just have to violate the insitutions policies. IF number 3 is true, then as much as I liked Dez as a player, as much as he seemed to be a good kid who maybe made a bad decision, as much as he was a leader on the court in in the lockerroom....then I think he got what he deserved. Are there lesser punishments for the other things...or maybe none at all? sure. If he had sex with the girl on the basis of a promised condom....then he needed to go. That's some pretty serious shit...with serious potential consequences...from disease to pregnancy which SHE did not consent to.

No one is sweeping this under the rug. The general overall position is that Dez did what lots of other college students have done over the years......and was held to a different standard and ultimately expelled.

I know Joe Deters made a public statement at one point and basically said he found no wrong doing.

Dez filed a lawsuit and looks as though he likely got some type of compensation.
