Maybe some of these players get credit for time served - Redrum - 02-24-2013

Not that perennial  mostly-bottom-feeder Florida Atlantic University is reduced to recruiting guys with police records,  but maybe FAU has a unique recruiting tool.  Like many schools these days, FAU wanted the $$ by selling the naming rights to their stadium. So they did.  To a company that runs private prisons.  Not sure what the advantage to the GEO Group is exactly.  Trying to bring in more customers?  Turning incarceration into an impulse-buy?

At $C, they learn to be criminals once they get there.

But is it really the players' fault?

Always good to have that habeas petition ready.
