Sad to say, integrity and disciplinary standards are a competitive disadvantage. Under Urban Meyer, Florida's two BCS championship teams had more than 30 arrests.  They all played.

If Alonso is sent packing this will be the third year in a row the Ducks have lost a key starter to disciplinary action.  In each case, it was probably the right decision, and the team prospered anyway.  But at other schools, players with similar offenses stay on the roster, and most of them in the lineup.  It took South Carolina quarterback Stephen Garcia  five suspensions to play his way out of the starting job, and most of those were alcohol related.
