Some could say that this was too far, that he didn't deserve that. Some would agree that it was the right thing to do.
The University of Florida has removed Aaron Hernandez's brick from the Gator Walk. They have been removing pictures and articles about him from around the school since the end of June. Earlier today they removed the largest and most noticeable recognition of the athlete.
The Gator walk is a path to the entrance of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium that shows players that have been named All Americans. He played for the Gators from 2007 until 2009, when he was awarded the Mackey Award. He then went on to be drafted in 2010 by the New England Patriots.
On June 26th 2013 he was charged for first degree murder, and the University of Florida decided that they did not want that associated with their school.
He was released from several other organizations that did not want to be associated with him due to these charges and the media that surrounded him. Was removing his brick too much?
He made a choice and there are consequences for that choice. It was a decision made with poor judgement. A University would not want that associated with their athletics program or their school as a whole. When something as large as this case happens, it doesn't matter who you are or what positive things you have done in the past. Your name brings up the negative thoughts. A University as well as any other organization wants to keep a positive image and instil positive values. So No, I do not think that this crossed any sort of line. If i was the Dean, I would choose to do the same thing.

Patriots Dennard Breaks Probation
New England Cornerback Alfonzo Dennard has been arrested and cited for driving under the influence. Dennard was pulled over roughly around 2am (C.T) when his red Honda was straddling lane lines. Police issued a sobriety test before transporting him to a substance abuse treatment centre. Although he did not provide an adequate breath sample for the test he was not jailed. Released with a court date set for August 12th.
This is his second run in with the law after he was found guilty of a felony assault on an officer just last year. He was given 24 months probation and a sentence of 30 days that judge permitted he would serve starting on March 1st of 2014.
After breaking his probation by driving under the influence will the judge's call to start his sentence march of next year change? Whether or not when he serves his sentence he will stay pay for it through the league and the Patriots management. The Patriots management is currently looking into the case before taking any action. This is not the first case that they have had to deal with, after Aaron Hernandez's charge for first degree murder.
