Four Youngstown State University football players have been named in a police report for assaulting three YSU students early Monday morning according to a report from the Youngstown Police Department.

Nick Gooden, junior strong safety; Adam House, sophomore free safety; James Cravens, redshirt freshman tailback and another player with the alias "AJ" are under investigation for assaulting the students at a house on Alameda Avenue, reports say.

Head football coach John Heacock said none of the players involved would be traveling to the final game of the season this weekend at North Dakota State.

The report said the students were all attending a party at the house when arguments broke out because of a joke about the security of Gooden's position on the team.

In a telephone interview with the Jambar, 19-year-old Kyle Long said he thought the jokes started in good fun and was surprised when it turned to violence.

Nineteen-year-old Thad Dearth was grabbed by Gooden as he tried to stand up. Dearth was then punched in the right eye, knocked down and choked by Gooden, the police report states.

The police report indicates that the rest of the players held Dearth down as Gooden continued "punching him in his head and face."

Heacock is still the coach?

It really pained me to post that article, you know.

YS who?

Nothing defends your position on the team like getting yourself kicked off it for the rest of the season.
(okay, so he probably isn't kicked off the team. but he will not be playing again this year. close enough)

That's the most physical that YSU has looked all year.

So let me get this straight. Youngstown St. is playing at North Dakota St. this weekend?

I blame young psychiatric professionals without experience.

It's the 5-0 Andy, they single out college ball players and arrest them. You were only a kicker so you wouldn't understand this as you weren't a real ball player, but the police search for the players so that they can arrest them. You wouldn't have heard about this if it was your average joe blow college student because the police wouldn't have been there to arrest them, they would have been out busting the football player for underage possession of alcohol.

No shit. People have no right to work with kids and families until they have 20 years experience working with kids and families.

That's right. Practical experience is what you'll be hired on.

A friend of mine got his Master's in HR a couple years ago after spending 20 years as a bill collector for a credit card company. Sent out a thousand resumes for HR jobs. Didn't get a single positive reply. Why? No tangible work experience.

Now, he's unemployed and substitute teaching.....at 46.

The HR field is so clogged up with lack of jobs anyway it didn't have as much to do with practical experience as you want us to believe.

If people are not allowed to work in the field to gain the practical experience in a few short years there will be no counselors left.
