Ford arrested for riding moped!

[Green is Good]

I still say who cares....he obviously has no common sense, they knew what they were getting into when they recruited him. Besides, its not like he plays, they might as well just dismiss him anyway, and free up an extra helmet..

Also dont call me Einstein and try to be a condescending little goody two shoes

should a scholarship athlete get to retain his privileges after getting arrested? no

In the real world, is driving without a license serious? No

I had a handful of misdemeanors when I was 18, it hasn't affected my life in any negative ways, just cost me a few dollars..

so lmiusf, keep going to church and be a good little boy....

So basically you're agreeing with me in the first place. And I love my Church so I will keep attending and being a Godly MAN.

Matt Grothe was arrested too, should he have lost his scoholarship?

If this was a big time university, THE UP WOULD NOT BE ARRESTING PLAYERS

[cmhatter]

not at all surprised...

sad tho

Ford should leave school and try to get a pay day before he gets arrested again....

All he needs to do is get well at the combines and his physical size and ability will get him in the league.

Lol Mike Ford rushed for a season high 74 yards...what a baller.

Given the ball Ford would do well, The kid has a chance to go to the NFL. I hope he does well at the combine and becomes an NFL starter. It will just prove how dumb our coaching staff is.

Did Matt repeat the same offense 4 times?

[E.T.]

I'm just concerend about who we'll be able to spread the carries around to in 2010 

I would say Ford will not be in Canada, but to boot him from the team ? 50/50

[Guest Sunburned]

Any legal eagles he who know if Ford could possibly be sentenced to jail since he is a  habitual offender?

[USFishin]

Can we please excuse him of his scholarship yet?

USF's Ford arrested for driving without license

Driving infractions have caught up with USF running back Mike Ford again, as the junior was arrested on campus early Thursday morning and booked on a misdemeanor charge of driving without a valid license.

Ford was arrested by University police at 12:42 a.m. and was released from the Orient Road jail on $250 bond at 5:58 a.m., notable because this happened in the middle of final exam week for USF's fall semester.

Ford, who rushed for a season-high 74 yards and a touchdown Saturday in USF's loss at Connecticut, has gotten in similar trouble before. He turned himself in to Sarasota police in 2007 on an outstanding warrant issued after he missed a court date for driving without a valid license or registration. This is at least the fourth time Ford has been cited for driving without a valid license of registration.

Ford, 23, was suspended for the first two games of the season for an unspecified violation of team rules. He has rushed for 243 yards and five touchdowns, and with senior Mo Plancher having recent problems with fumbles, he could have a larger role in USF's next game, against Northern Illinois on Jan. 2 in the International Bowl in Toronto.

Here is more information on Ford's arrest from mugshots.tampabay.com. USF coach Jim Leavitt could not be immediately reached for comment, but the Bulls are expected to return to practice Thursday afternoon.

Did everyone just read over this and not think anything of it?  I highly doubt he was leaving campus from a long study session.  That guy needs to hit the books more than any other player on the team and he's out at 1 in the morning screwing around during finals week.  ???
