No, how about having bikes just to have bikes for people to use if they want to. It's not f'ing brain surgery. Has nothing to do with stealing bikes or not. Yes, they shouldn't have to have bikes just to make sure players don't have to steal bikes. That's not the point. But, if they did, it's most likely something they wouldn't have to worry about anymore. Stepping away from the internet for today sounds like the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
Sounds like that is what was tried before and guess what.....THEY WERE STOLEN.....
They did that a few years ago at UNL, too. The bikes were painted distinctly (red stripes on them, I think) to make it clear that they were campus bikes. The program ended when all of the bikes were stolen, IIRC.
How about this....KEEP YOUR FRIGGEN HANDS OFF OF OTHER PEOPLE'S STUFF.
Good Lord....Now, because our football players can't stop themselves from stealing other people's bikes, we have to provide them for them.
Sometimes this world is so friggen ridiculous it's beyond funny.
