On a warm July night, PNC Park hosted more action in the stands than on the field as the Pirates most likely produced another subpar outing and two West Virginia basketball players were detained by the popo for their drunken misbehavior. On Tuesday, the pair of Joe Mazzulla and Cam Thoroughman owned up to their actions, pleading guilty to disorderly conduct and public intoxication and were fined $100 each. Good thing the NCAA allows athletes to work minimum wage jobs because otherwise I don’t know how they (or maybe which alumni) would pay the fine.Mazzulla, who was originally charged with aggravated assault, hindering an arrest and underage drinking and Thoroughman, who was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and underage drinking were graciously granted the opportunity to plead to a lesser charge, which they did. It is unknown how the University plans to deal with this latest stain, but it is said it will be “handled internally”
What exactly does that mean? Do they run more laps? Do they actually have to attend class and maybe write a paper? Do they have to teach little children to play basketball at 7 on a Saturday morning? Or they just get yelled at, thrown their practice jerseys and take the court? I’m going with the latter.
Watch out Joe and Cam, because the popo are on your tail!
