Its the fault of the staff for not accounting for everyone whom they purchased tickets for. No one should be fired. No one should be suspended. We should all move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge screw up by the staff, and of course, an embarrassing headline for the university. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never think it a smart decision to sleep (apparently away from the gate) if my layover was under 90 minutes. All the traveling I have done, never once has that seemed like a good idea, despite the sleepiness. I guess had the staff realized it earlier, the whole team may have been left in Houston while trying to find those two. Either way, we would have been humor for the interwebs. By the way, my firm travels about 35 at at time on some trips. We don't do a roll call and some of our peeps are 19-23. They handle it. These guys are living the princely life. Student-athletes like to ***** about how bad they have it, with the school "making money off of them" but they sure have it sweet if the school is primarily responsible for managing this kind of irresponsibility/behavior. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I at least hope they have and I just haven't heard it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
