Let's see if I got this right.
1) Somebody at UCLA (and Georgia Tech) thought it a great idea to take "students" out of school for 9 days and travel at least 10,000 miles to play one basketball game in China.
2) Said "students" seem a tad ungrateful for the "cultural" experience and ripoff 3 stores in 90 minutes. It could be a record - somebody at ESPN might know. 
3) Rumor has it UCLA coach Steve Alford passed on recruiting Chip Hilton....

I never thought I'd say it but thank god this happened in China. To a set of talented basketball players. Because anywhere else and anyone else it doesn't end as well.
"Indefinetly".
Anyone want to post an over/under above 5 games?

I'd take the over. I believe a one-month suspension is about right.

I'll go with the under.Scholarship players that are suspended/booted cannot be replaced with another scholarship player for the season;UCLA isn't going to forfeit three roster slots for shoplifting.Also, without consulting their schedule ,most top flight programs first month is full of tomato cans from lower level Division 1 and D-2 programs.I'm sure as soon as the conference schedule gets started,UCLA will determine that the lads learned their lesson and will resume their roles as student-athletes.

I heard and audio cut where one of the kids thanked the President. I have mixed feelings about the president getting involved. Would he do it for other similarly situated Americans? If so, I am all for it, but I doubt that he would.

While I don't think they should have gotten 10 years hard labor they should not have gotten off punishment free by the Chinese either. For being so stupid they needed to be taught a lesson.

The big issue here is that the NCAA has been quiet on anything in regards to punishment, but that doesn't mean the school has been they indefinitely suspended the players. The school has to act first and then the NCAA can come in and do nothing.
