Its a charge in NC and that is about it. There is a reason he was given a citation at the scene and left, he was never booked. It is an odd NC law that if taken to trial is almost impossible to prove unless the person admits he knew the driver was drunk and that he participated in getting him drunk. The charge will be thrown out.

So yes, it is the same as being a passenger in a your car with a drunk driver.

And the idea that people think Duke is somehow corrupt for not suspending him longer that UConn did with Bouknight is lunacy.

You said that college players usually or never get punished for getting in a car with a drunk driver. I pointed out that Banchero was cited for allowing a drunk person to drive his car. If the car in the first scenario does not belong the the person in question, those two situations are obviously different. Granted, the latter scenario is functionally equivalent to "being a passenger in your car with a drunk driver," but you are moving the goalpost to rephrase it like that.

Anywho, for what it's worth, I think people should be punished for knowingly allowing drunk people to drive their cars, regardless of how such situations have been handled in the past.

P.S. I agree with you the Bouknight's transgression was as serious or worse than this one.

The kid blew a .08% too. The cop must be a UNC fan

Fiance is a UNC undergrad and law school alum. She would've arrested them for blowing a 0.01%. That rivalry runs deep.

In case you haven't seen this great photo, here it is. I was tempted to post this in the Duke DUI thread...but took the high road.

This picture is absolute gold, and I think it will live on for quite a while on the Boneyard.

For getting in the car with someone who was drinking, 0%. Most any coach would suspend for that is 1 game, judge will throw out the charge.

He can say he tried to drive but was denied, or was babysitting. Either way he should not be suspended as a passenger.

I'm sure almost everyone here has been in a similar situation as a passenger (as a kid).

Kids get paid now, I am sure he making high 6 figures and was probably given the car by a dealership.

TyTy gets a new Porsche, Paolo gets a 2017 Jeep tho? Coach K needs to find a new dealership to partner with

Also, thinking about it now, think of the car-related NIL opportunities Purvis could’ve had.

Some of all just wanted to get worked up for no reason with being blind to the situation and failing to look in the mirror.

As a fellow tall, Paolo was certainly looking for the additional legroom offered by the Jeep GCL

Everybody seems to have missed the bigger story. K's daughter, the player's mother, is an assistant athletic director at Duke. Funny how that happens.

Here in CT too: Edsall and Edsall.

The article says aiding and abetting a DWI is charged to individuals who knowingly allow their vehicle to be operated by someone under the influence. That's different than simply getting in a car with a drunk driver.

That’s what they got Steve McNair for iirc

How quickly will this get swept under the rug? especially by the media. But, In all seriousness, that’s probably the last thing Coach K wants to deal with during his final season.
Expand ...
Im sure Coach K is furious. He doesnt want anything interfering with the ass kissing he expects on his "How great am i" retirement tour he blessed us with.
 
Banchero playing tonight…as he probably should
 
Question. K’s grandson was a walk on put on scholarship last year. Are you kidding me? Coach K has a net worth of 45 million and his annual salary is now 9.7 million. So his daughter needed to take scholarship money for coach’s grandkid? K should have paid that tuition for his daughter who BTW is an assistant athletic director at Duke as it is. Disgusting.
 
They are just poor misguided lads. No reason to hold them responsible for anything. After all they are just youths.

As the son of the assistant AD he can get up to 75% of his tuition covered, it seems odd if the move to a scholarship was purely financial

Even if they didn’t need the scholarship for another kid who needed the help how does K reconcile that? Another reason we don’t know about for a scholarship vs non scholarship player?
