HCGM is a tough man. I bet he won't let Connor play for a whole calendar year. I don't expect to see CF till next December.

This sends the message that if your are good looking, really smart, really rich, or a really good athlete then you can be allowed to do stupid things and not be accountable for it. I think that this will play out and there will be severe consequences to remain with the team. Again this will be a teaching/learning moment for not only the BB team but for the entire athletic community.-Aaron Bushell

Look, I'm with @SHOCKvalue: on this. I don't really drink which is to say I don't care for not being in control of myself or acting like an idiot or trying to make friends being someone I'm not. I will on a rare occasion partake just for grins, in fact I sampled a delicious Honey Jack and Blackberry Lemonade concoction at an area steakhouse this weekend. But I had 1, not 16. I find that level of irresponsibility deplorable but it's so damned accepted today, it's like welfare. It's just the way that it is now, even if it's abused to a level almost unfathomable.
I feel for Conner. He made a mistake, and it's a bad one, and one likely not to sit well with HCGM. I would not want to be Conner today.
I have no idea what will happen, but I trust our Coach do what's best for all involved so I will not speculate here. I would ask, however, was it reported who was with him, because that could concern me.

There are some really sensitive personalities on this anonymous internet forum.
I'm not saying that he is a bad kid or that I am in any way better, but when you represent a team and a university and a city, you have to evaluate all of your actions to make sure that you're putting forth an acceptable image at all times. It comes with the territory. Those that are getting upset about others "casting stones" have never and probably will never be on Conner's level of notoriety, and he's only played one year of college basketball. He's not just a kid, unfortunately. He is/will be one of the faces of Wichita State. I care about Wichita State's image and CF is proving that he doesn't, and thus isn't a good fit. If Bardo was arrested for a DUI, I'd want him gone. If Marshall was arrested for a DUI, I'd want him gone. If any other player was arrested for a DUI, I'd want them gone as well. Those would all be terrible and unfortunate. It would upset me. But it's for a greater good. You have to stand for something.
I'm not judging him as a human being, I'm evaluating him as an applicant. With this now on his record, he's not getting the job.

I'm suspecting that whatever happens to Connor will be kept within the team walls as best as possible. I'm pretty sure it will not be discussed in any detail tonight. I'm sure that this is not the first time HCGM has had to deal with a situation such as this. I believe HCGM will use this as a teaching moment for Connor and the rest of the team. I would be surprised if he suspends him from playing a year ahead of time.
Those preaching capital punishment, be careful when setting precedents.Where oh where is our T. Boone Pickens.
