Are you serious? This was obviously just a corps prank. Why some overly-sensitive person decided to turn them in is beyond me. I guess they felt their "safe space" was violated.

This is pretty tame compared to the stuff we pulled.

I'm sure it is, but wether we agree with it or not, times have changed. Cadets have to be aware of this. If any upperclassmen knew about this and allowed it to happen or encouraged it, they did their fish a great disservice.

What was so bad about this harmless prank? They didn't kill the dog. They found some roadkill and dumped it on the BQ field.

Pretty lame prank and hardly nothing to warrant expulsion as some are calling for.

Were these meatheads unaware of what decade they're living in?
The old days of just getting beat up by the band for violating the drill field are over.
And with security cameras everywhere, you're going to get caught.

Maybe the university should get the FBI and DHS involved just to be safe...

The real irony here is that if a fraternity had done this anywhere in CS, people would be calling for them to be expelled.

It's how CTs and BQs have messed with each other forever. This stupid yet harmless prank deserves a commensurate punishment of a month's confinement to quarters on weekends and some serious crap outs. These are kids in college, for goodness sake. Apply some perspective.....

I guess I need one of you hip slick and cool younger guys to explain to this old BQ what was so bad about this. At t.u. they have a murder on their hands and we're all bent out of shape about a dead dog on the drill field.

A couple of restricted weekends, a few hundred times around bullring, and some extra brass polishing..should cover this. No need to file criminal charges or ruin lives.

Big black eye for the Corps and Texas A&M. Bad pub for the University. I hope the Commandant takes appropriate steps.

Austin has freshmen getting murdered on campus, Baylor welcomes rapist football players with open arms, half of SMU's teams are under NCAA sanctions, and we are all worked about a harmless prank which injured no property or person (save some feelings apparently).

They didn't kill the dog. This just doesn't seem like something that should ruin their lives IMO. Surely the Corps has some stiff punishment for this type of thing. Treat it as a learning experience.

^Seriously? I get that it is 2016, but can boys not have fun anymore. No one was hurt except for some thin skinned BQs.

The guys should be punished for getting caught. If they hadn't been caught then they should have received Junior privileges for a few days.

The war between corps turds and bq's has been going on forever. My junior year we went to Houston to play rice. We returned to Dorm 11 to find that the 4th stoop showers had ALL been turned on and the drains had been plugged shut. There was a waterfall coming down the stairwells. Every floor had water damage. There was also a dead goat hanging inside the closet of a freshman's room on the first floor. That was quite a welcome home. One dead dog on the drill field is no big deal.

Okay those ******* want to put dead dogs in our dorm and our drill field. Let's see how they like it at the next review marching to a 3/4 cadence. Kinda hard to march to a waltz. Yup we did just that. It hit the fan afterwards, but what the hell could they do about it.

Thanks aggiejim 70 - I always knew that the bq's screwed w/the rest of the Corps by changing their beat/cadence. Now I have proof.

I kept telling my buddies that I wasn't out of step (in spite of what the marchin picture showed a few days later), that it was the band.

Still not as bad as a turkey being put in a ahole ct sergebutt's room, along with feed and a #3 washtub full of water during Christmas break in 1966. After 2 weeks it was pretty nasty when he returned. No cameras then but rumor had it involved pissheads . Just sayin.

The thing that is most disappointing is that this even made the news and that the police are involved.

I absolutely loved when we played Stars and Stripes Forever for March in, because you knew a few outfits were going to be challenged with marching to us slowing down the cadence

I had a conversation yesterday with someone in authority in a position to know. This was handled not by the commandant or the university but with misdemeanor criminal charges for dumping on state property and the State of Texas threw the book at them. I for one think this is the black eye for the Corps and our university.

While I can't and won't comment on this matter for obvious reasons, I can say that your "someone in authority in a position to know" is COMPLETELY WRONG.

Whenever there is a student discipline case, it is usually handled through the university's Student Conduct Office (SCO). If it involves a cadet, a member of the Commandant's staff is involved in the process as well. Matters adjudicated through the university's student conduct process are administrative in nature - NOT criminal.

IF a student or cadet has also been charged downtown through the legal system, just like any other citizen, they must go through the legal system to resolve it. That is handled by the families, usually involves lawyers, and potentially going to court. The university and the Office of the Commandant are NOT involved in that legal process whatsoever.

As you can see, in this case there are 2 different processes - administrative, through the university, and legal, through the courts downtown.

Again, I'm not sure who your "someone in authority in a position to know" is, but he/she is COMPLETELY WRONG.

I realize it's a different time, but thinking back to my 4 years in the Corps and all the "good bull" stuff that went on, I still can't believe this made the news, the police were involved, and now the courts? How did this even get that far?

General, I'm not here to argue with you or dispute your word. If what I was told is incorrect, so be it. Unfortunately,
my conversation with the person who gave me this information was interrupted before I could get their permission to use their name in a public forum such as this. I would like to get more of your input the next time our paths cross.

I'm not sure who you talked to, Jim, but you just heard from the best source possible about this matter.

While I'm always happy to talk to former students, I cannot discuss this specific matter with you or anyone else. Its a matter of university policy, and federal law (Family Education Right to Privacy, or FERPA) that we do NOT discuss student conduct cases. I am happy to discuss the disciplinary process that I alluded to earlier with you, but cannot discuss any specific student conduct cases with anyone.

Thanks.
