Maurice Washington Faces Charges

You sound like a preacher!  There is an athlete code of conduct, so please let UNL address this issue.  Some of these young are not as bad as you think and need guidance.  I'm sure Frost will do what is right for both!

I am letting UNL handle the issue. I am also expressing an opinion on a message board.  Those two things are not mutually exclusive. 

I probably sound alot more like the father of a teenage daughter than I do  preacher.

I find it hard to believe that ANYTHING is more annoying than the weekly travesty  that presents itself as the Schick and Nick segment. Two loud screechers naively believing we are amused by sophmoric give and take reminiscing about their past is a futile waste of air time.

Interestingly, that's sometimes the ONLY segment I listen to just because it can often be a riot. But, I do agree that it is by and large a huge waste of air time.

I haven't really followed Nick's show as it pertains to the Mo case, though. Mostly just S&B and a little USC. Nick has always had a habit of repeating himself on his show, or taking an incredibly long amount of time to make a relatively minor point, so it's a little hit or miss for me.

Similar situation happened with Jacque Jones. Hopefully, this is as serious as it gets with Washington.

I have a teenage son & daughter, so I understand.  I also understand how emotional youth breakups are and how sex is more common today in teenagers.   Those 2 together along with a state law that says a teenager can not have consensual sex is asking for trouble.

Nick has built himself a cottage industry being Omaha's local Jim Rome.

Not similar at all. Mo didn't distribute anything. Either way though, if the punishment is to be a % of his income, as a student athlete....

Sending it to another person (regardless of who that person is) is considered distribution.

Either way, thank God for boosters!

:lol:

In my opinion, this is more than just offending someone.

To be honest, I would be fine with the University of Nebraska Athletics having a policy, clearly defined and explained to all Student Athletes, that if you use sexually explicit images to hurt/shame someone, you lose the right to represent the university.

I think you have very noble intentions. And I don't fault that.

I think the vast majority of people posting about this have noble intentions,  just differences of opinion.

I think people, such as myself and probably you, would agree there are varying degrees or severity of conduct. Although it is wrong, I don't think sending the video back to her is all that heinous. Sending the video to other persons is more heinous and deserves a different and more severe punishment. 

I think we would all agree distributing actual child pornography for pleasure or profit is about as heinous as it gets - and is no where in the realm of the two scenarios mentioned above. However, Mo is being charged under/for the same crime as this category when his level of conduct is no where close to that of someone distributing child porn for pleasure or profit. That is where I, and many others, see the issue with this statute/crime.

I can see why he got negative rep though.  Terrible terrible post.

How is that post terrible? A large segment of this thread has been about what sort of punishment Washington could face and he posts a recent article about a similar situation in the same state that uses the same laws.
