Has Sark handed down their punishments yet?

It will be interesting to see what ASJ's punishment is, come 8/31/13.

I think one of them wasn't even drunk at all, similar to Huff so wouldn't be too bad if that punishment was light. Otherwise yes I think there should be harsh penalties for DUI's and probably an NCAA mandated minimum

I lost my best friend to a DD accident in 1995, it was obviously a tragic situation... I'm interested to know why OP thinks this letter is "great"?

Because it personalizes how dangerous DUI can be and asks for a punishment that fits the danger. When we think about DUI, we often think about somebody swerving and getting pulled over, or somebody hitting a telephone pole. But the real risk is so much more, and I think it's vital to personalize it to everybody to help avoid them.

I totally agree, thanks for an honest answer. I took the letter more as a BSU fan in Idaho calling out Coach Shart from some moral high ground (similar to a beaver fan calling out Chip with lamike or kiko etc), but maybe I'm just getting cynical in my old age. Ha.
