No seat belt: check

We've all done it and kids will always continue doing it

Awful to hear. Feels like it were preventable. Sometimes people take risks and pay for them. Sad stuff. Extra tragic when it‘s youth involved. Seems unfair that people shouldn’t be able learn lessons without paying the ultimate price. RIP

The University broke it's silence today and issued a statement. A carefully worded statement. Everybody in the chain of command already knows what happened, but the statement was a standard PR release saying we'll investigate, deep sadness, respect for the families, blah, blah. But the reason they released the statement is the last sentence--"We want to emphasize that these individuals were not engaged in Athletic Department duties around the time of this incident."
Of course they want to emphasize it. They are not liable for damages if the kids in the car were not on business for the university. And it's not just liability they are worried about. Their jobs are on the line. They remember how the Bobby Petrino/"recruiting staffer" scandal turned out.
In this instance it's going to turn out they WERE on university business. A Blind man can read this one.
This whole "recruiting staffer" business is something no university wants exposed to legal scrutiny anyway, and when two deaths occur late at night in a rented vehicle--the same model vehicle, rented from the same place the university always rents SUVs for athletic department business (any bets a university credit card rented it)--full of university employees and students, people start asking questions.
Questions like who's in charge of the "recruiting staffers", what are their duties, what university business were they on earlier that evening, who is the supervisor and why can't the supervisor explain what the staffers were doing with university students that time of night. They already know, so why wasn't that information contained in their statement and why hasn't it been revealed to the grieving parents.
The suits at Baylor and Penn State made the blunder of trying to cover up a scandal and it blew up in the faces. Everybody got fired and some of them went to jail. If the Georgia suits are dumb enough to think they can pass this off as two rogue employees acting on their own they deserve what they get

Will not be a point of contention with the MADD terrorists
Every death is caused by the surviving drunk person

If you're a NFL team, wouldn't this make you rethink about taking him so high? Talent wise, yes but what if he has to serve time, your team would be looking very foolish. Tough spot for all involved.
