I think it’s best for all parties involved if he sits (while remaining on the team) until the case is closed. It protects the optics on the program, staff and the person and maybe even delivers a lesson about having things like that on your phone Given the fact that Frost has said that University officials will be involved in any punishment, I think Mo will be suspended for the first game, with the hope that the charges will be resolved at the next hearing next week. If there isn't a resolution next week, I think the appropriate decision is to reinstate Mo until there is a resolution with the case. I know the charges against Mo are quite serious, but the University and team can say "we have punished Mo based on the current status of the trial and his conduct, we think it's fair that he is able to rejoin the team until his charges are resolved." 2 Quote Link to comment

The court case could drag on into the new year. He's innocent until proven guilty or until he pleads guilty (which he hasn't done yet if I have my facts straight). Quote Link to comment

Maurice won't start but will play Saturday IMO Great points about Winston and Newton. I won't be surprised whatever happens to Mo this Saturday. I'm expecting him to be suspended (just a hunch), but I wouldn't be surprised if he plays. Quote Link to comment

Second, the child porn charge, which is the felony, is a trumped up charge. Its being used for plea bargaining purposes. The purpose and intent behind the statute is to protect children from being taken advantage of in a multitude of ways - not to prosecute high school students for having dirty pics/vids of ex-gfs/bfs. 2 Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I don't think there's an objectively wrong way for Frost and co to go about it, and I don't think he'll get much flack no matter what the decision is. 1 Quote Link to comment
WyoHusker56 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I think the Quintez Cephus situation will be looked at closely by the administration regarding any decisions before resolution. 1 Quote Link to comment

A high schooler having those type of videos of exes in possession of a minor in a situation that fits child pornography. Just because he’s a running back that you’d like on the team doesn’t change that. And if it’s only there for a plea bargain, then do it already. Quote Link to comment

If the court case drags, well then in my opinion it’s just too damn bad for Mo. There have been chances for this to be over, and consequences exist. I understand hes talented but I have questions if the the juice is worth the squeeze, especially considering the odds are decent he might get into trouble again. Anyway, this is cluttering up a depth chart thread and I’ve said my piece on the matter. Quote Link to comment

Many people look at it the way bugeater17 stated regardless of who it is. No one is saying what Mo alledgedly did was okay but many believe its not the same as other child pornography cases and his status as a husker has nothing to do with that. 2 Quote Link to comment

Wandale, Mo, and Mills all basically starters for NU. They have all come to NU in the past 13 months. Are you speaking of when I said Mo Washington and mills are they only ones who have proven anything yet?? Its still a true statement. 1 Quote Link to comment
