Alabama Players Arrested For Stealing Credit Cards to Buy Snacks Are “No Longer Associated With the Team”

All, College Football Ty Duffy February 27th. 2013, 1:50pm

Sometimes Nick Saban just has to sit back and let the scholarship numbers sort themselves out. The Alabama head coach has revealed the four Alabama players arrested in an on campus robbery incident – Brent Calloway, Eddie Williams, Tyler Hayes and D.J. Pettway – are no longer associated with the team.

Williams was a five-star athlete, the nation’s No. 24 overall recruit in the Class of 2012. The other three were four-star recruits. None were likely to be major contributors. The Tide will keep rolling without them. As always, when you are going to commit a crime at Alabama, bring a few straggling upperclassmen on scholarship with you.

Congrats to the four kids who avoided medical redshirts or being kindly asked to leave.

Is there a reason you’re framing this as “arrested for staling credit cards to buy snacks” instead of “arrested for orchestrating violent attacks on other students”? Genuinely curious, makes zero sense.

because guys, if these players were compensated at their FMV they wouldn’t be forced to roam the Alamaba campus stealing credit cards because they can’t afford to eat.

According to arrest warrants obtained by the Tuscaloosa News, Williams, Hayes and Pettway were arrested for allegedly assaulting two fellow students in attempted robberies, knocking one of them unconscious. In the first incident, police say, Williams and Hayes admitted to punching the student in the head and face, then kicking him in the ribs and back, reportedly leaving the victim with cuts, a mild concussion and severe swelling. They allegedly took the victim’s backpack, which contained an Apple laptop computer.
In the second incident, police say Williams admitted to punching another student in the head and face and stealing the victim’s wallet while Hayes and Pettway watched. Williams later used the victim’s student identification to buy snacks from a vending machine in a dorm room.
Only Duffy could possibly paint these criminals as the victims in this here story.
Also — it’s Nick Saban’s fault.

Sheeeeet, when I was in college I couldn’t afford to eat either, but that had more to do with me spending all my money on booze.

In case someone can’t read between your lines, we’re only another few days from a post suggesting the NCAA greed in not paying the players was why they needed to buy the snacks in the first place.
Of course, none of these players would have capitalized on their image, so they all would have just had to beat up Johnny Manziel instead*.

Why is a 5 star recruit not likely to be a major contributor?
