<p>[3</a> wrestlers charged with assault | The Daily Pennsylvanian](<a href=“http://thedp.com/article/3-wrestlers-charged-assault]3”>http://thedp.com/article/3-wrestlers-charged-assault)</p>
<p>How to throw away your future. I know at least one of these boys was all set with a good job for after graduation. I question whether this was a 'roid rage situation. The wrestlers have a history of brawls. It just makes me sad and sick.</p>
<p>add this one to the list too:</p>
<p>[Sacred Heart lacrosse</a> players charged with sex assault conspiracy - More Sports - SI.com](<a href=“http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/more/11/24/lacrosse.rape.case.ap/index.html]Sacred Heart lacrosse”>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/more/11/24/lacrosse.rape.case.ap/index.html)</p>
<p>I wouldn’t attribute it to 'roid rage…maybe just bully rage.</p>
<p>In trying to find the story of the suicide at Penn, I found the one above and another about the SECOND rape this semester at a frat party at Penn. There was also a story about the sentencing of a former professor for porn. </p>
<p>A few years back, a few kids who allegedly belonged to something called the Owl Club tried to set a visiting student on fire while he was sleeping. (His crime? He was wearing clothing with a Princeton logo on it.) </p>
<p>I don’t mean to dump on UPenn. It’s just a reminder that being a student at a top school doesn’t guarantee a good character or even common sense.</p>
<p>It sure doesn’t. I am particularly concerned about the culture that develops in some of the athletic teams- even (or perhaps especially?) at these top schools. This is not the first serious fight involving Penn wrestlers. I actually DO suspect steroid use. There are ways to time things to almost ensure that you avoid detection. A former CC poster has a son who went to an Ivy as an athlete (different sport) and quit the team before the season even started because the culture involved significant drug use and aggressive behavior.</p>
<p>Here’s an even stupider adolescent event… Acorn throwing leads to teen shooting at vehicle… [Police:</a> Acorn-throwing led to shooting near Austin High](<a href=“http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/local/2009/11/25/1125shooting.html]Police:”>http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/local/2009/11/25/1125shooting.html) Sigh…</p>
