I wonder how this story would have been analyzed on this board if all of the facts were the same, but it was a Texas player in Austin.
Ahem, BAZINGA!

If a Texas player was also guilting of texting while intoxicated I'd want him of course kicked off the team and then drug down the main street of Austin tied to a mule. Actually I'd be fine if they did that with all of the Texas players just because they chose to go to Texas.
Caputo plead guilty to reckless driving, not "texting while intoxicated."

they should make that a crime though....same with drunk dialing to exes
I'm aware of that. I'm also aware of the fact that he had his day in court and all the people that had access to all the facts were there and none of them are here and retrying the case and or second guessing the results is worthless. He plead guilty, he was sentenced and on top of that he will pay a further penalty with the team. Most people just have to deal with the courts and they are done but the athletes get to be punished twice and have their reputations drug through the mud. I guess that's all part of the sweetheart deal they get.
All priveleges have prices.
So, I assert that he got away with one and that there may have been consideration in the case as to the fact that he was a NU football player. My assertion is that most folks without the resources that this young man has would have had the DUI stick, and would have retained that mark against them. Call this what you will but calling me an idiot, or whatever it was before, as well as telling me to shrivel are just ridiculous. Way to debate there boys. Now that being said, my opinion is has not changed. He got into a car while legally drunk, put the keys in the ignition, and was in control of the vehicle. That is a DUI.
Whoopeee for integrity and accountability!!

.08 is the legal limit therefore .103 is over the legal limit...if it matters how far over, what is the point of having a number ?
Whatever the charge is or isn't against Caputo, I think we should all agree that drinking and driving should not happen.
I am not privy to the details of his case so I won't comment on that...although I do wonder how a non-moving vehicle can result in reckless driving ?
To my point: Alcohol impairs decision making and reaction times. Even a small amount will cause some issues.
My brother was killed by a drunk driver (very drunk minor) who thought he was just fine according to witnesses at the party he left.
Well, he wasn't and my family paid the price. Small town so we heard from others...we didn't know the kid or his family.
Drinking and driving should NOT mix. MADD and SADD are great programs and should be applauded for what they do.
