"Don't you know who we are? We're Division I athletes.”

Sorry Courtney but we don't need you that bad.

DAMN

This incident may not be that big a deal but if he's having trouble getting his grades up to graduate then it is a big deal. He should know what an opportunity he has and put his all into graduating and getting to Norman. Things like this is probably the reason he's border line failing his classes. For someone who's over 21 he's acting more like a high school prima donna.

That's 2 in 2.5 years....that's no big deal either? Yes, we've had athletes do this and worse and be allowed back, but if it's a trackrecord Stoops is less likely to be lenient. Just sayin....

Well this sounds like a clear cut case of “contempt of cop” to me. In those cases that I have seen the culprit ends up in jail for the night or until they can make bail but these cases seem to disappear at some point before they get to court. Here in Nevada we have just about every vise you can think of but be warned that you want to be real careful on your way from one vise to the next. Most of the cops here will tell you one time to do something and if you’re not fast enough you will find yourself hooked and booked other than being asked a second time.
I think folks just need to chill because saying to a cop “do you know who we are” isn’t a crime as defined by the Nevada Penal Code. I know when I was that age I learned a valuable lesson in how to talk to cops. I was hit by a guy that ran a stop sign on my way home from a drag race with a bunch of trophies in the back seat. When the cop ask me in that cop tone of voice “does you dad know you’re racing this car” and I replied “does you dad know you’re a cop” didn’t take me long to figure out that’s not the right answer. Age broadens your knowledge to the realization that “yes sir and no sir” are much better answers in those cases.
Let’s wait and see if this ever makes it to court before we start going off the deep end.

Being stupid enough to take on cops as a 21 year old out of state, is pretty significant despite the seriousness of the charge.

He better straighten up or NFL dollar signs will not be what they could have been. Get smarter son.

He is from Reno so he wasn't out of state he was most likely just hanging with friends from high school while he went home for the weekend. It didn’t say he took on any cops it just said he got loud with them. Reno has a big gang problem these days and when they see 5 young guys in a car they are going to get checked out and the SO in that area are known to not play games. I’m more worried about him getting his class work in order than I am with this.
