Yes, no need to make strawman arguments on either side. 99.9% of the population and fan base thinks OWI is serious and should be treated as such. Reasonable people can differ on what punishment should be for that (from a team perspective). There is a student code of conduct policy that covers this, as well as KF's approach to dealing with matters where the more years a player has been in the program, the larger the punishment tends to be.
Is that really true? The more years a player is in a program, the larger the punishment?
I have no idea, but I was under the impression that the more violations a player has, the larger the punishment.
Maybe things have changed, but I keep thinking back to the Micah Hyde precedent in 2012, where Hyde had a minor run-in with the law as a senior. Because it was his first offense and had no track record of bad behavior, his punishment was small for his first offense.
