Nader arrested for OWI?

That's valuable game time experience. Suspend him for the offseason and lift it on a Friday afternoon before the season starts, and when there are bigger stories out there so it gets buried in the news.
I never said it wasn't a dumb move, it absolutely was. I'm just talking about the people who are already going into full panic mode without all of the details since the details would absolutely affect punishment. That's all.
You say this until someone you love gets hit by a car driven by someone who was intoxicated.
If he was out showing BDJ around and was responsible for him in anyway shape or form, and we end up not getting BDJ as a result, I think you have to kick him off the team.
If this is his second offense with a DUI-OWI situation, as someone referred to during his NIU days, he's got to go.
I'm not entirely of the 'no tolerance' position, but Fred is bringing in some high-risk transfers from time to time, Nader included. I think you have to set the bar high in terms of what you expect in terms of character and conduct. If Nader isn't disciplined properly, Fred could start losing some of the respect he's achieved since arriving here.
I think worst case scenario, you've got to keep him out the first semester. Have him watching games along with McKay.

Our culture is an obsessive and constant celebration of cars and beer. Americans love drinking and driving. It is who we are.
Thanks. I'd rather have this stuff happen now when both seasons are a long ways from starting than any other time of the year so our coaches have plenty of time to give an effective punishment and game plan for the season with plenty of time to figure things out before the season starts in case the player is kicked off or misses significant time.

ISU Police say Abdel Nader was pulled over for running a red light at Lincoln Way and the intersection of Hyland. He failed sobriety test.

Some of you are over reacting. He didn't get kicked off the team or anything at NIU so it's not like he was a high risk transfer such as Lucious and Allen was.
2-5 game suspension is all that is needed. Hoping for 3

Yeah I have no idea where Nader being a high risk transfer came from. He left NIU for ISU because he wanted to win and better promote himself for the NBA.
If the kid really does have a problem with alcohol, I hope they get him some help instead of kicking him to the curb. Suspend him for whatever length is necessary and get him in a program...this way hopefully his troubles with alcohol stop and they've actually helped a young man get his life straight rather than cutting him loose only to have him continue to have issues in the future.
Exactly. Some people are acting like he was a huge thug that had to transfer from NIU when that wasn't the case at all. He took the Babb route. Played on a crap team and wanted a new look.
Was it a stupid mistake, yes. But he is 20 years old. Kids make mistakes.
Same reaction here. Someone gets a second one, uh, I don't know, maybe his university should offer substance abuse counseling? Kicking him off the team is a bit dramatic isn't it?
