At Texas A&M University at Commerce, the student newspaper reports that a football player has been arrested on a drug charge. So, a couple of his teammates steal the papers off the newsstand.

Sorta reminds you of The Andy Griffith Show episode where Opie publishes a scandalous newspaper, so Andy and Barney try to round up all the copies before anyone can read it.

Via Michael Silence, who points out that the team’s coach, former Baylor coach Guy Morris, isn’t exactly discouraging unlawful behavior with comments like this: “I am proud of my players for doing that. This was the best team building exercise we have ever done.”

Also, it appears the school’s athletics director doesn’t have much confidence in his football team:

According to Bone’s police report, Athletic Director Carlton Cooper said the football team could not have stolen the papers without the aid of outside help.

“I don’t think they are smart enough to do this on their own,” he said.
