Alfano arrested

Did the AD let him down again!
Bye, bud.
Bye, bud.
What did he do or accused of doing?
What the **** with the comments in here? Victim mentality? FCS program? He gone? Why?
Because we are CU. We unfortunately are snake bit and are aware where this usually goes.

Bunch of morons who read an article title and not the article.
Just seems like a trend. No matter where he has played since HS he has burned bridges and had issues. Hell, the kid has never been able to even play a snap of CFB and that’s not due to talent.
At some point it stops being an anomaly and just is who he is.
But this is the first troublesome issue. The other problems have been due to family and/or serious health issues.
Not true. I responded to you in the Alfaro thread, but you remember this, right?
This is a pattern with Alfano. He always has a convenient excuse for not showing up though.
That’s not a troublesome issue and it didn’t happen at CU. Why do you care what happened at Alabama that is literally the only reason he’s even at CU?
Patterns of behaviors. These incidents are all very similar. What good is having a kid on the team who thinks he can disappear on coaches and teammates whenever he wants?
CU is a program that should be attempting everything in their power to keep a talent like him on the team, and yes, he should get many chances. He served his suspension for not showing up for voluntary workouts at CU. This is the second issue. As nik said, it’s only an issue if CU wants it to be an issue.
Only an issue if CU makes it one? So again, this isn’t an Alfano problem, it’s a CU problem?? Weird take. Alfano made this a problem when he decided to commit crimes.
He’s proven himself to be completely unreliable. I hope he gets his life in order, but not on CU’s dime.
I didn’t say it’s a CU problem. I said it’s only an issue that warrants dismissal if CU decides it is. He doesn’t have a pattern of criminal behavior like you’re making it out to be. He’s only at CU because he quit on Alabama, which you sure were fine with at the time, so why are you using that as one of his strokes at CU?
Also, I know, CU should only recruit choir boys who wanna be Buffs. I get it.
In this case, these issue may well be tied in to his medical condition, and with his diagnosis, there may be a path to overcoming the underlying issue.
I was fine with CU giving the kid a second shot after Bama. But then when he bailed on his teammates here in a similar fashion I looked at that as a pattern. I would have cut him loose then. What’s happened subsequently (blaming the AD for his not getting tested, arrested with two charges pending) should absolutely lead to his dismissal.
Also, cut the **** about “choir boys” out. That’s a weak attempt to skew the argument. I’m fine with them recruiting kids and giving them a chance. But if that kid proves he’s not going to live up to his end of the bargain, cut his ass.

I'd like more context... I mean, police suck as a general rule, but why was he being arrested? Who was he allegedly harassing? Did he communicate with the university regarding the situation and was he candid or did he try to hide it?
Also, I was under the impression he couldn't drive/was more or less homebound because of the seizures, so who was he with? Did he walk? What's going on exactly?
You can be a good kid and clash with authority, and have people call the police when there's no need to. You can be a bad kid who draws trouble too... and none of us really knows what's going on here.

So will turning away talented players, Gary. I’m sure we’ll backfill with a similar talent.
Similar talent?! The mother****er hasn’t played a down for us? What talent?
I’ll wager that he never makes a positive impact for CU.
