Boston College football players don’t always obey the law

bradysmith.jpegBoston College defensive end Brady Smith, 20, was charged with on-campus (what’s the difference?) sexual assault and breaking and entering early yesterday morning.

“Brady Smith was issued a summary suspension from the university as a result of an alleged assault last evening or early this morning,” said BC spokesman Jack Dunn. “The university has a right to issue summary suspension for incidents that are deemed to be of a serious nature. That suspension remains in effect pending the outcome of court proceedings.”

While you all know we love piling on athletes and celebs that royally screw up, we’re going to hold off on this one. Too many people raced to conclusions in the Duke lacrosse case and that’s a scary thing. Football players, especially those at high-profile programs, can be targets of false allegations and we think that anyone who falsely accuses anyone of something like rape, should be tried, convicted and sentenced to whatever their local rape charges are themselves.

Then again, there is also the possibility that he did it, which makes him a soulless scumbag. For those of you hoping for us to rip this guy a new one, we apologize. We’re going to sit tight on that until we hear more.
