Is out of the Sugar Bowl, with extended suspension.
Not going to defend Mixon as I would have handled it differently but too many young women these days feel they can physically assault others with no repercussions.
He was charged with a misdemeanor for some sort of negligence with some community service. And he got to stay on at OU.He was eventually charged. Amazingly, a lot of times that happens, they never find the guy. People knew who Mixon was. He was punished.
He's going to the NFL...only reason to explain why he asked his lawyer to release it. It's easy for him now because the NFL doesn't care as long a you can play football well (see Tyreke Hill). OU and Mixon wouldn't have fought so long to keep it out of public view to just give up now. Releasing it niw, knowing your declaring for the draft has no real consequences for him whatsoever. Stoops, Castiglione, and Boren however...If he is suspended for next season, can he still be on a football scholarship?

The fact that the original was suppressed by the DAs office in Cleveland County for so long is shady and smacks of favors for the OU athletic dept. Judge in Cleveland Co. denies its part of the public record because no charges were ever filed...really? That judge needs to be removed and then disbarred. It took 2 years for it to be released because basically Mixon's attorney just kept filing motion after motion etc. that forced the ultimate hearing all the way until just recently. The DA, the district judge, and Mixon's attorney all knew how long they needed to keep up this charade until it didn't matter any longer. My guess is Mixon ends up a Seattle Seahawk...they're pretty complicit with enabling this type of behavior.It was going to be released by the city attorney's office on 12/26 either way.

I don't advocate for removing judges for having a different interpretation of things than I do. I would only advocate it in this instance if he is connected to OU, say as a booster, and his clear conflict in interest in keeping said video out of the public view.What's the standard for removing a judge and disbarment? You realize judges have this thing called discretion, right? It's what makes the system work. If they just applied things from a matrix, there wouldn't be a reason to have a court system.
I won't pretend that good ole boy things don't happen, especially over in that part of the world. But these things are often WAY more complicated than people who deal with courts will understand.
I think you guys forget the how lenient our own law enforcement and judicial system has been to the Tulsa program over the years. Talking about what Mixon did and saying it was deplorable and he should be kicked out is part of your right to express your displeasure but I believe it is hypocritical bc some of our players have gotten away with way worse!The fact that the original was suppressed by the DAs office in Cleveland County for so long is shady and smacks of favors for the OU athletic dept.

I'm guessing Shon isn't talking about Swilling. The incident when Blankenship was here with a QB who later left the program was the first thing that came to mind.
