Shame on Sports Illustrated for a Feature Story on Boise State's Traffic Tickets

I haven't broached this subject but I will just say that Sports Illustrated should be ashamed for equating the traffic tickets of Boise State football players with assault and battery and robbery of other schools.

Coach Chris Petersen, Athletic Director Gene Bleymaier and the entire athletic program do things the right way. When you have 100 football kids, someone's going to do the wrong thing.  When they do, they are punished for it.  That said, kids will be kids.  But to make a feature story in a national magazine somehow making the offenses that Boise State players are charged with on the same level as meth-related crimes, rape, robbery and murder is inexcusable.

And that's all that needs to be said about that subject.
