2013LHP,

IMHO there is a vast difference between "hanging out with the guys on the team on friday/saturday nights" and bringing high school recruits to an "off-campus full blown kegger" after the head coach specifically instructed you not to 5 minutes ago. The difference is discretion and judgement.

I get your point, and when I was in school (and underage) we were discrete. "Discrete" is one of those judgement things that you learn while you are in college or possibly as a young adult. I don't want my kids living in a bubble, and I certainly would want them to experience an OV as it should be. But, I would expect a little more discretion than what we experienced in one particular case that nearly involved the police. My son went on several OVs. Alcohol was involved in almost all of them, and discretion was used in almost all of them except one. He crossed that "one" off the list real quick.
