Two freshmen Texas A&M-Commerce football players were arrested in a campus drug bust on Feb. 19 after several bags of marijuana, pills and other drug paraphernalia were traced to said players. The story was reported on the front page of The East Texan, the school newspaper. On the morning of Feb. 25, Texas A&M-Commerce football players took all of the school newspapers out of the racks around campus - videotape showed two junior football players taking campus newspapers out of a rack. In all, about 2,000 copies were removed from campus property, estimated at about $1,100.
Texas A&M-Commerce football coach Guy Morriss was asked if he had seen the Feb. 25 newspaper, and he stated, he "didn't read that crap." Morriss, commenting on the stolen newspapers, stated, "I'm proud of my players for doing that... This was the best team-building exercise we have ever done."
What a great role model for college athletes, huh?
