I don’t get it- what’s the difference between a student & a non student at Utah?

SBB

Nov 12, 5:20pm

I think it matters to the story that they're just a fan and not enrolled.

Art Director

Nov 12, 5:21pm

Yes I’m sure it does. I was joking

SBB

Similar IQ, just lower net worth because of tuition and student loans.

I have no idea if you’re some 19 year old kid or a grown adult who still can’t

SBB

Wow, Utah fans assured all of us that the coach made it all up.

Not a uu student?!!?... we knew he was a BYU student! - Utah fans everywhere

Wow, nice detective work. In this day and age, it's almost guaranteed there will be video if you are at a large event.

How convenient he is NOT a student. Hope she goes after the school for damages….

100% - maybe they’ll start protecting visitors if it costs them $$

RWaters

Having a few more event staff watching the crowd would be a good first step.

I hope he had a miserable time at his last ever live football game at the U.

May not be a popular opinion, but let's not demonize this kid

bythenumbers

Nov 12, 5:24pm

Throwing a water bottle into a crowded area is very dangerous. He doesn't

RoyalTooth15

Nov 12, 5:26pm

He's going to learn how stupid this was and be held accountable. He was arrested

bythenumbers

Nov 12, 5:35pm

Let he who has not thrown a full water bottle into a crowd of innocents cast the first Rockstar at him?

kccougar

He threw it in a crowd of people. He’s not a kid accd to the law

Let’s demonize the University for not having a safe environment for fans and

JohnnyC

Nov 12, 5:31pm

I agree, but I've seen water bottles thrown at LES so I'm struggling with this

bythenumbers

Nov 12, 5:34pm

Do those fans get in trouble by BYU? I personally have not seen thrown

JohnnyC

Nov 12, 5:40pm

Agreed - but some jail time could address both deterrence and rehabilitation

RWaters

Yes, he did something stupid but no need to jump to conclusions that may not be

Not a Utah student *yet*

He will get a full ride scholly now

BYU '80

Yes, but definitely checking the admission criteria boxes!

Was the bottle thrown from the table section? Is this section mostly wealthy

sfeuz

Nov 12, 5:32pm

More pointedly: is he from the wealthy Gardner family that are major U donors?

He just checked the criminal record requirement on the school application though

In some ways I'm glad he's only 18. I did some pretty dumb things at that age.

byubyu

Nov 12, 5:30pm

None of their fans are actually Utah students. He probably dropped out of high school.

TCuz

Nov 12, 5:31pm

so this just secured his University of Utah scholarship, Correct?

Cougs1

Nov 12, 5:31pm

Only a misdemeanor? Whitt won’t be interested

Longseason

Nov 12, 5:33pm

He's now a NON-student because he was expelled before the arrest. Gotcha!

Archaea

Nov 12, 6:00pm

Let's not ruin his life, but would be nice if his sentence included required

KayakCoug

Nov 12, 7:45pm

And a trip to the electric chair. But in a scared straight kind of way only.

Ojiisan

Nov 12, 8:27pm

It would be nice if this was Singapore and his sentence included flogging.

DeepCCoug

Nov 12, 9:02pm

Agreed, I'm not saying he should get off light. Let justice prevail. Just saying

In Utah, the punishment for a Class A misdemeanor can include:

If it’s a first offense it will resolve with a plea in abeyance

CougStuckOnTheHill

Yeah, likely the only significant result of this episode will be that he’ll have a record if he didn’t already.

Yllage Vidiot

Lets hope he at least gets handed increased insurance rates 😂

ordinary tri guy

Nov 12, 8:48pm

He'll probably be sued for her medical costs as well

El Jefe

Hopefully he turned himself in. Some people make dumb choices in the moment.

Well now that he has been arrested we can expect Whitt to recruit him no?

This kid was failed by the grownups that surrounded him. Poor kid.

Nov 12, 10:25pm

Honestly, I blame the University way more than a kid who made a dumb mistake.

Ppl throw things at stadiums all the time. This isn’t something new.
