It does all sound a bit shady, and either way the ISEP sure don’t handle their business in a reasonable and professional way.

I was there 2000-2004 during a lot of the changes to campus culture related to alcohol. Students were burning copies of Du Lac on the steps of the Main Building when hard alcohol was banned. I don’t remember too many off-campus house parties being broken up, but places like Boat Club and Finnegans were always getting busted.

From the ISEP website, they are part of the Alcohol and Tobacco commission, which underwent a name change from the Indiana Alcoholic Beverage Commission in… 2001. I couldn’t find info about when the ISEP were created, but perhaps more stringent enforcement came along with the name change in 2001. It would seem to fit the timeline.

Also, at least one student died after attending an off-campus party while I was there. Perhaps the University decided to react in a way that could prevent future issues and began inviting ISEP to be more active?

“somewhat hypocritical” was me trying to show there are just shade’s and thoughts. my aim is not to call any writers on this site hypocrites because i enjoy the opinions, and i know thats what i will get viewing this site (and the world needs more opinion, people get too offended). i was merely just trying to view things from all angles.

i also agree about the drinking not being a big deal, because its really not. i have never heard of cops arresting an entire party of college kids just for alcohol. its really amazing to think about.

all borne out of a litigious world we now live in, unfortunately. the university is now so risk averse, they have to turn the other way when stuff like this goes down – all for the better the lawyers will tell you (no offense to lawyers).

The rumors about a ‘battering ram’ used to bust in the door are especially scary.

yep. had ND guys been drinking and driving, we’d not be happy. at Michigan (sucks), you get a DUI, then you captain the game 2 weeks later.

IrishLion, we make fun of other programs’ lack of consequences for off-field problems. at UF, this wouldn’t even get a blink and no one would get in trouble at all. At ND, it’s national news and they will come down hard on the kids – probably too hard. So its not hypocritical at all.

And this post is less about whether drinking underage is illegal (it is) or that it is/not that big a deal (it’s not), and more about the way it happened, and the way the Excise Police operate (insanely).

Actually IrishLion, the folks at this website and the regulars who write in do not get too wound up about students drinking at other schools. It is the felony stuff (gun possession, assault, theft etc) that gets us hating on schools like Florida.

i just really hope Tai-ler Jones gets off or doesn’t catch any punishment too harsh. He’s going to be a big time player.

i also think that it is somewhat hypocritical that this site will make fun of other program’s problems, but then cries foul when our players are arrested. they drank under age, and that is illegal. college kids will drink, its not a big deal. but maybe they should find a smarter way to go about these things
