Gophers won't take further action against Royce White right now

University of Minnesota athletics director Joel Maturi said today he would not take any further action at this point against freshman basketball player Royce White, who is considered a possible suspect in a campus burglary Saturday.

If not for being a gifted athlete what are the chances he would have received so may 2nd chances?

Why does being "suspended" from the team mean he can sit on the bench in street clothes during games? That doesn't seem like much of a suspension to me, it seems like he's simply being "benched." To be truly suspended, White should be prohibited from even stepping inside Williams Arena for any purpose (practice or games). If this latest allegation proves true, I think he should be expelled from the University.

I agree with the dorm issue but what about the mall incident?

Why does both the East Side Fish Wrap and the West Side Fish Wrap print speculative stories with no merit?

Wait until the person is at least charged before defamation of character.

You got it mad dog gus - the papers are desperate for page views. Laptop missing? Someone saw Royce White in the dorm along with 400 others? Must be Royce White that stole it. Did someone see him take it? Did the police nab him with the stolen item? Did he start crying and confess when the cops gave him the third degree? Was he charged with anything? Did the girl's roommate sell the laptop for ramen noodle money? We just don't know, do we.

[Poor police work]

Cops don't have anything better to go on? Do some investigation instead of eating donuts and blaming everything on Royce White.

He isn't three months into his freshman year and he has been kicked out of the dorms? More details, please, MIAI.

that was reported / stated yesterday on AM 1500 by Reusse .... it was close to 5:00 p.m. when it was on .... and they said he had already been kicked out of the dorms at the beginning of the school year and wasn't even supposed to be there in the first place .... so there is another problem here with the situation no matter if he stole this laptop or not they said
