Kansas scoring machine Brandon Rush was arrested for not appearing in court to settle several traffic incidents. The guy can drive to the hole but apparently can’t drive a car — among the charges were driving on the wrong side of the road, driving uninsured, speeding, and driving on a suspended license. I think that [...]

Here’s a boneheaded act that got Arkansas State‘s leading scorer suspended indefinitely from the team — early Sunday morning, Adrian Banks was arrested for firing a gun in the air several times.  Banks claimed he found the gun at a night club, and he was firing off the shots so that no one would get [...]

Bobby Knight got in another confrontation? Get out of here! Apparently coach Bob Knight goes hunting wherever the hell he pleases, even if birdshot and pellets invade other people’s private property. The latest fiasco involves a guy named James Simpson who claims he got shot in the neck and back with stray fire. What makes [...]

I stayed away from this story at first because there was nothing funny or boneheaded about it — this is a horrible incident where 3 people were murdered and several other injured, including Nevada basketball player Tyrone Hanson. But now we know that Hanson violated team policy by choosing to party that night instead of [...]

Another blow to the Missouri basketball program happened Thursday as senior forward Darryl Butterfield was suspended from the team after being arrested for domestic assault. Butterfield was arrested after a dispute with his girlfriend, where he allegedly struck her in the face. Way to be a team player, bonehead.

Any drunk driving arrest by an athlete is boneheaded, but Oklahoma State basketball player Marcus Dove has served his suspension, and now he’s being reinstated to the team. Dove was arrested in July for aggravated DUI, whereafter he was suspended indefinitely. Dove will get a small fine and limited community service and will be back [...]

Indiana basketball coach Kelvin Sampson is in trouble again for recruiting violations. Sampson and other assistant coaches have been violating the limit on calls that can be made to recruits, contacting different recruits illegally on many different occasions. The punishment of these violations was quite severe — Sampson lost out on a $500,000 bonus, the [...]

Good for Georgia for stressing the importance of actually learning in college. Georgia football and basketball players had the worst graduation success rates in the conference, so the university instituted some stiffer penalties for skipping class, including game suspensions. Well, it delivered a big blow to the basketball team, as their top two returning scorers [...]

Eighteen-year-old guard Bud Mackey was arrested on Friday for drug trafficking! Mackey led his team to a state title in Kentucky last year and is a big-time committed Indiana recruit. How can a high-school stud like this with a really bright future go and throw it away like this? It’s a boneheaded shame.

It’s pretty easy to get kicked off the team with boneheaded acts like this — Tennessee basketball player Duke Crews, a freshman forward last year, had two bags of marijuana in his apartment, which were found by the staff upon an investigation of a loud music complaint.  Coach Bruce Pearl immediately suspended Crews, who played a [...]
