Only teams that were ranked preseason are in this list. I wonder how many schools have 0 like TCU.

TCU has an ongoing lawsuit from a serious rape/cover up case from 2006 going right now. There is another thread about it somewhere here.

Yes. The videos on each page of the link are pretty informative. Andy Staples is in the first one, they mention Florida open record laws while getting little to no info in Texas and Calif.

This number represents 7% of the athletes. What is the % of arrest records for a regular college student?
Huh? That first article backed up everything I said. It said a team of 80 football players has .5 more kids with a record than the general student body. Studies can make numbers look however they want to slant them.

Andy Staples in the first video said they threw out the small stuff. Compare avg students with felonies and violent records and I think its more than .5 difference.
It might be a coaches 'on the record' position to be careful what they say when discussing minors, they can't talk much about recruits until signed. They trust high school coaches. If a kid has a history, the recruiter's job is to know it.

The thing is this report only lists the schools that were in the SI Pre-Season Top 10. There are probably a lot of teams that are not on the list who are just as bad if not worse than a lot of these offenders. Pitt, Arkansas and Iowa's figures are horrendous however. With 22 players that means 25% of the roster has a criminal record. Ouch!

I wonder which team in the history of college football has had the most players with a criminal record i would have to guess the hurricanes in the 80s or 90s

7%. That is it?
Well, call me outraged lol.
Sure, 0 would have been nice, but honestly, 7% is far below what I would have expected.
And what is that compared to other sports, like basketball, lacrosse, etc.
Also, how does that compare to the NFL or other leagues?

Not really sure why there's so much focus on Cincinnati in this article or the video. 5 players isn't bad at all. One of them has kept his nose clean for years and is now a model student whose on the deans list. You shouldn't keep kids off the team due to problems in their past. Sometimes getting away from the environment they grew up in is more than enough for these kids to get their life straightened out.

I thought it was a positive focus on Thompkins. Any kid that makes it out of Liberty City is a success story. Darling has character issues.

I didn't know Boise St. had so many thugs.
Boise isn't good because they're Boise. They're good because they get all of the good athletes that nobody else will (or can) touch. Most wouldn't have qualified academically elsewhere, or have a very troubled past.

Sparty is no where on this list? They've had 15 felony arrests in the last two years!

I don't think they were ranked in the preseason polls were they? Those are the teams that are included in the report.
