Callahan says Culbert can join Huskers, but with conditions
July 26, 2006

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- Nebraska will allow a recruit accused of sexual abuse to join the football team, but coach Bill Callahan says a "zero tolerance" policy will be in effect for defensive back Major Culbert.

Culbert was sentenced this month in Eugene, Ore., to five years of probation and 25 days in jail after he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of criminal trespassing and harassment in connection with an incident during his January recruiting visit to the University of Oregon.

Culbert, from Harbor City, Calif., and another player on the recruiting visit originally were charged with sexually abusing two women in a dormitory room.

Callahan met Wednesday with Culbert and his family, then announced that Culbert would be among the 105 players who would report for preseason practice next Wednesday.

"The charges against Major in Oregon have been reduced to a misdemeanor, but we take this situation very seriously," Callahan said.

For Culbert to have his scholarship reinstated, Callahan said, he had to agree to a series of requirements and restrictions. Those conditions weren't specified, other than that Culbert would have to perform community service in Lincoln.

"We have granted him a second chance to be a part of our program, and, accordingly, he will operate under a zero-tolerance policy from this point forward," Callahan said. "We believe his willingness to accept these terms reflects positively on his character and commitment to focus on academics and athletics while here at Nebraska."

Was this supposed to be a transcript of Cuthbert trying to talk a girl into sex or something?

Puuuuuh-lease Give me a break. Although he did win half his games against the Huskers And I do respect him(And Mizzou) for it, Brad's not around anymore.

Series record 62-34-3.. Last 20 games: 18-2 in favor of the Huskers..THAT's SCOREBOARD..

Or let me ask you this: What do you say to state fan?

Thank You :wink:
