This is interesting.
Member of the Nevada track team - a freshman female - was arrested in a prostitution sting.
She has been dismissed from the team.
Two questions:
I thought prostitution was legal in Nevada? I am really curious as to how she was arrested - not registered or licenses as a hooker?
Two: They dismissed her? Seriously?
Are student athletes allowed to work? She was "working" in the off-season. Aside from being arrested, was this really a huge crime?
I doubt the school would so quick to boot a member of the football team if they were arrested for solicitation or some other misdemeanor offense.

This smacks of a double standard.
 
The story doesn't say where she was arrested: Reno? Las Vegas? somewhere in California? Also prostitution is only legal in some parts of Nevada and those do not include Las Vegas.

I thought it was legal in brothels (which are only legal in some counties), but the streetwalkin prostitution was still illegal?

You are correct.

Those Catholic girls, they start too late. :D

Did you forget to write this whole post in blue type? You really don't see the problem here?

I'm serious.
She arrested and dimissed.
She was arrest doiong something that is legal - at least in parts of the state.
I think it is a unfair double standard. Seriously.
 
Do we have any other examples of Nevada athletes being arrested for misdemeanors to compare this too?
 
Looks like this is the university's protocol.

I agree with the double standard, but a general question: the school can have a different set of rules when it comes to students and athletes than the state do, if I'm correct?

I would assume that anything that sheds a bad light on the university will result in actions taken by said university. I would assume they view a scholarship as a privledge and not a right. And not to sound like an old fogie, but I agree.
 
Reminds me of the Arizona State cheerleader who started doing porn and actually wore her uniform in a scene.

The company had to flip the film so the "ASU" on her uniform read "USA," but of course the S was backwards.

But would you pay to hit it?
I've paid for more and gotten less.
