SALT LAKE CITY — Here we go again, another college athlete gets in trouble with the law and jeopardizes his education and playing status.
This time it is Dominique Hatfield, a cornerback for the University of Utah who is accused of aggravated robbery, which is a first-degree felony subject to a possible five years to life in prison. A few months ago it was Charles West, a running back after signing with BYU was arrested on charges of aggravated assault in which he allegedly raped a woman at knife point.
In terms of trouble and not specifics, these situations are not unique to any university, even if they tend to occur with more frequency at some places than others.
