So they can buy better weed...?
I mean really, if Stanley paid only $100 for about 3/4 ounce, that's virtually Nebraska ditchweed.
Sorry, I'm making somewhat light of this. I think it's ridiculous that is a felony but I also am very disappointed that so many of these young men fail to see what's more important and keep their priorities straight. If you really want to be a winner, then act like one.

I've been thinking this all day! If he only paid $100 for that weed it is absolutely brick schwag!
I'm a college professor. I assume all of my students are on weed until they prove otherwise. If you don't smoke weed in college what are you doing? Quit wasting your life and make some bad decisions already!!
The meathead athletes where I teach like to get drunk and beat up other students. That sucks bad.....but it is OK cause muscles and testosterone and stuff! Weed, though......bad choices, irresponsible, not a leader.

As for the confused cross pollination of paying athletes that got in this thread:
It is always weird to me that so many good red blooded 'Murican capitalists are socialists around college sports. If a school, and TV networks, and shoe/apparel companies are making $$$$ on what you do on the field, court, or ice you deserve a cut.....and not just your tuition and housing, as much of a cut as you can negotiate.

Not just tuition and housing? What about nutritionists, physical therapists, trainers, free trips around the country/world, tons of free clothes, bowl game swag, free access to state of the art athletic facilities, being worshiped by tens of thousands, the exposure and publicity and training that helps get a player noticed and prepared for possibly becoming a professional, or the name recognition that gives them a leg up on a career in literally anything else around the area they went to college if they don't go pro. Oh, and a few thousand dollars of free spending money each year, as well as a number of other discretionary funds for travel, clothing, etc., as well as a check cut for the difference between the cost of on-campus housing vs whatever is being paid in rent (usually a few more thousands of dollars per year).
How much is four-five years of all of that worth?

Yes, there are colleges and universities that use school funds to help pay for the Athletic Department, but UNL is not one of them. Maybe I misunderstood your original post, and you were discussing in general. However, what did this have to do with Morgan getting busted for possession of weed?

maybe you're being sarcastic and I just don't realize it but...
"Morgan told the officer that that the cannabis belonged to him, which he had purchased for $100 when he came to Florida on vacation."

Actually, I would say the same thing about drinking, fighting, skipping class, etc., for any D1 student athlete. I know it's not reasonable to expect college student athletes to never do anything like this but it is a choice they make. Absolutely I'd prefer that they forego anything that hinders their contributions to the team or their future.
Now if we want to discuss which is less bad, you won't get any argument from me, mj is likely much less problematic than excess alcohol consumption. Unfortunately society has not advanced to that point yet and marijuana is still illegal in most places. I'll stick by my request that they get their priorities straight. There is no I in Team. They can always choose to be just a regular student, with no others depending on them, and do as they wish. I think it is fair to expect a higher standard of behavior from a starting Nebraska football player. If not, don't pursue it.

lf there was weed just lying on the 'center console' as the police said it was then it was probably getting ready to be rolled/smoked so the lack of a dui charge makes sense. Having almost an ounce or more of the stickiest of the ickies basically in what sounded like book bags would definitely smell also.
By all accounts SM seems like a really good kid. Those guys screwed up. So many worse things those two could have been doing but again they screwed up. Hopefully he doesn't have much on his record (Reed also) if anything and they can get some community service, fines and probation out of the deal.
Hopefully they get a good judge and decent lawyers too.

Did Stanley buy his weed from Quentin Castille?

It always amazes me that people who are fans of a team will speak so disparagingly about guys on that team when they're disappointed in them.
Do you speak that way about your girlfriend/boyfriend/wife when they disappoint you, too? Or is it just reserved for semi-anonymous online posts?
Stanley did a dumb, like 87 million other guys his age. None of us have the full story. Maybe we can ramp down the rhetoric until we know what's going on, huh?

I live in Colorado. I don't consume reefer from a bud. Maybe 1-2 times a year I'll have have half a gummie or so. It would be like someone offering me a double IPA instead of Bud Light. It's legal, no one cares, and if u drink a double IPA or take a puff, it's one in the same. Nothing illegal, no harm/no foul.
If SM, JR got pulled over in Colorado with what he had, it would still be against our laws. 21 grams is over 2 ounces. Even in a State that's it's legal you cannot legally purchase more than 1 ounce at a time.
So, let's not kid ourselves saying 'it's legal in more and more places, he shouldnt be in trouble!'
He had a lot of bud in State it's not even legal let alone if was legal, not judging marijuana laws...just saying...that's a lot
