Obviously, you don't follow Nebraska football very much. This type of behavior is not at all uncommon for NU players, and has carried with them out into the "real" world. Lawrence Phillips readily comes to mind.
The problem, as I see it, is that these kids are treated as gods in a state that idolizes Husker football. Even when busted red handed, there are few that are willing to criticize them, and those that do, are quickly shot down by rabid fans. I've lived in Nebraska for...what...19 years now. (yikes!) I still do not understand the mentality behind Husker fans. In truth, I hope that I never do.
