… from America’s colleges. It’s a little complicated, because it involves a football team/fraternity synergy… But okay. Let’s go.
A fraternity at Cal Poly has been suspended because the frat is a cover for a drug dealing operation. Nothing new there. More than a few frats have figured out that they’re supremely – UD would even say unbeatably – well-situated as far as the drug trade goes. Recall the federal raid of a bunch of San Diego State fraternities/drug houses. The raid netted guns along with drugs. These boys don’t fool around.
This latest thing, the thing at Cal Poly, also involved guns as well as drugs. Here’s the rather complicated first paragraph of an article about it:
Cal Poly has suspended the fraternity targeted in an attempted armed robbery last summer for violating student conduct policies, after the university determined chapter members knew illegal drugs were sold at the house and failed to take action.
See, what blew the cover of this frat’s operation was the school’s football team. A group of players wanted drugs, and they knew where the campus drug market was, and, well, something went wrong.
The Delta Sigma Phi house at 244 California Blvd. was the target of an attempted robbery on Aug. 10 allegedly committed by a group of Cal Poly football players believed to be looking for drugs.
I guess the football players didn’t want to buy the drugs; they didn’t seem to understand that the frat is a drug market, not a free drug distribution center.
So. To recap: You’ve got university football players committing armed robbery for drugs against a university fraternity.
Cal Poly: Keepin’ it all in-house!

A poster on the article you provided a link raised an interesting question. What, if anything, did the university do to the football team? Any idea?

Van: I saw that comment too. I have no idea about the team.

[…] I may quote myself. It’s not just the notorious cases, like Cal Poly and San Diego State. More and more frats are […]
