Have you seen that new film, "MSU Football Players Gone Wild?"

Although it doesn't exist, given the pace at which players are getting into trouble with the law, it won't be long before Hollywood considers making it.

Two freshmen wide receivers, Miles Williams, 18, and Hugh D'Imperio, 19, have been charged with unarmed robbery and assault with intent to rob while unarmed. These charges are felonies that carry a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison.

Less than a month back, two redshirt freshmen wide receivers, Terry Love and Irving Campbell, were charged with possession of chemical or other dangerous explosives with intent to harm.

What are MSU football players - people that undoubtedly serve as role models - thinking?

In the recent case, Williams and D'Imperio were both charged in two separate assaults. We want to be clear that they have not been convicted and should by no means be assumed guilty.

The first assault was on a student and occurred between Wilson and Holden halls. The victim said his attackers demanded his wallet and then began to kick and punch him. Only minutes later, police received a call from another student who faced a similar predicament. MSU head coach John L. Smith suspended both players from the MSU football team following the charges. If it turns out that these crimes were committed by our own football players, it makes the circumstances even sicker.

They don't need the money. They don't need the attention.

This institution already affords many privileges to its big-money athletes. And much of it is deserved. We trust that these players are going to represent us well. What they do determines the way people see the university.

If it turns out the players were indeed responsible for these assaults, measures need to be taken that can ensure discipline in some of our campus' biggest celebrities.
