CMYOU: Students react to Rawls arrest
Thomas Rawls, Central Michigan University football’s leading running back was arrested Sunday on three felonies stemming from an April 8 theft at the Soaring Eagle Casino. He was also indefinitely suspended from the team on Monday morning. Here’s what students have to say about his suspension and arrest.
Hannah Gonzalez, Senior, Brighton
“I think that it’s disappointing that someone who had a bright future here at CMU would do something so minute to ruin everything and give us a bad name.”
Mary Tince, Freshman, Wyandotte
“You were really serious about football, you shouldn’t have done whatever you were doing to basically screw yourself and the rest of your teammates. It’s not fair to them.”
Brandon Henderson, Senior, Chicago
“You shouldn’t steal. We’re all adults; this is college. You should know the consequences. But I don’t think he should be cut indefinitely. We all make mistakes.”
