Underage Drinking: A National Concern

It’s been a hell of a two months for the University of Northern Iowa and they have decided to do something about it. In less than eight weeks members of the football, men’s basketball, men’s track, softball, baseball and women’s swimming teams have been picked up by the popo, including a windfall during the weekend of September 13th when 14 athletes were charged with underage drinking.

“We had a bad weekend last month with some underage drinking and we are responding to it with suspensions, as well as community service.”

Apparently kids get quite rowdy when there is no football.

Along with the underage drinking, there have also been arrests for DUI, possession of drug paraphernalia and good old theft culminating in two guilty pleas and counting.

Watch out athletes of UNI, because the popo are all over your tails!
