It wasn't an ASSault at all, but he was being a total ASS___ .
100000% she will be back before end of season....just like hundreds of male college athletes for the same rules violations every year. That is the world we live in today
I agree with what you are saying, but I know I made more stupid choices at 23, then I did as I aged. It's the impulse control/impulse choices that are tough at younger ages. Not that it's an excuse, but poor choices come with being young.Kid? 23 years old & my "kid" was treated as adult and expected to behave as adult. I bet she is more like 24ish. At what age is she expected by all of you to behave like a normal adult?
If I was parent of 1 kid who got kicked off Florida team and another that got busted for drug possession...not failing a test, but possession....I MIGHT start looking in the mirror at myself and the failures I have had as a parent.
The parents of today's "kids" are the issue. They have taught this generation (by their actions) that it is ok to do things like this...that is doesn't define them...that we will fix it for you. 2nd chances, 3rd chances 4th chances it's never your fault. No accountability in these kids today. It's not a girl sport or boy sport thing. poor behavior is prevalent in both girls and boys sports today. I do not know who Walton is or do I care. He very well may be a piece of garbage...may very well be a really good guy with a bad rap. If she didn't do what she did...this is non story. Auburn coaches SHOULD have addressed her actions first time she did it. Oh wait...her sister is on Auburn staff. If NCAA didn't punish him then chances are it was not seen as an "assault" by rational human beings. Sports parents are very rarely rational human beings.

Not saying that at all. I think they all should be held to a higher standard. If I get arrested for drugs or DUI my employer drops me like a hot rock. They've been given a shot to play college ball and represent their school, they should be held to a higher standard in my opinion, and that's all it is, just my opinion.....So you are saying some athletes should be held to a different standard than others? Most schools have a policy in place for all athletes. Most schools give kids a second chance as the do with all students.
