PrintI think a good many of us were curious as to why Dion Sims hadn't seen the field this season; this Detroit News story quite possibly yields the explanation:

Just posted
a fan post with a link to Rexrode’s blog about this. Didn’t see your post first….anyways, the team continues on the incredibly rocky roller coaster of emotions which started about 8pm Saturday night.
Ahhh, to be 6'5", 260lb, mega-athletic...
…and completely throw away your future.

I was going to say something else
but this really sums up my feelings perfectly.
Rec’d.

You kidding me?
Because this team hasn’t had enough problems in the past year and a half. How do these guys keep ending up in E.L.? Seems like less of a coincidence with every allegation.

He’ll be charged with “receiving and concealing stolen property,” a felony punishable by up to 10 years in jail. Link here.
As someone who cares about Detroit, this really pisses me off.

I agree
I love Detroit and to see someone trying to profit off of their public school system this way is just gross.

Well, that would actually make it somewhat less disturbing
in terms of why Dion was involved.

Oh, wait, different case
Still makes it slightly more explicable, but obviously doesn’t change anything in terms of how the university should handle it.

From the perspective of
it was his family upbringing and not the inability of the coaching staff to maintain morals

That's what it sounds like
From @thesnews_sports:
Statement from AD Hollis: Since mid-February, we have been aware that Dion Sims and members of his extended family have had legal issues
by Pete Rossman on Sep 21, 2010 2:17 PM CDT up reply actions
this also means that it happened before this summer with the unity council and that coach Dantonio has held him out of games when the public didn’t know about the legal issues which is commendable. I think coach D is a great molder of men and Dion has probably learned some things over this summer

Very....
Dissapointing, I don’t want to pile on this kid but whaaaat were you thinking?!

At least it appears he already knew about it
So it won’t be a big shock.

In good news
Coach Dantonio has apparently been released by Sparrow and is not resting at home

DetNews says...
…the thefts started in December, so if Sims was really involved it wasn’t as if this was something bad he did in the past, before coming to MSU.
As our friend Brian noted, how in the damn to we commit this many crimes but avoid the Fulmer Cup?
Fulmer cup
Only counts off-season charges and arrests. It’s a gap imo that it ignores activities that occurred during the off-season but weren’t brought to light until the season.

To quote The Alphabetical:
please mark this in the ledger under the category of “More Things Making You Suspect Michigan State’s Football Offices Are Built Over An Evil Sorcerer’s Grave.”
Mid February . . .
Just wanted to note the university says it became aware of the issue in mid February—also when Sims left the MSU basketball team, ostensibly to focus on football. This may be the real reason he cut short his hoops season in 2009-10.

Stealing from Detroit Public School kids
It really doesn’t get any lower than that.
by TheCrestedHelm on Sep 22, 2010 12:42 PM CDT reply actions
Well...
…it does, but that’s still pretty low. Especially as Sims appears to be comparatively privileged (went to OLSM, father had a position that allowed him steal a large sum).
