Should Student Athlete’s Arrest Records Be Legally Protected?

It seems we are constantly being told about how this player or that player got arrested. Earlier today Clarion-Ledger beat reporter Mike Bonner reported this bit of “news”:

MSU incoming basketball transfer Xavian Stapleton was arrested Saturday for driving with a suspended license http://t.co/EZqKBSOZLQ

What kind of “news” is this other than fodder for rival fans?

Maybe you want to know about these types of incidents. Maybe I do too. Or maybe I don’t – I’m not really sure how I feel about it.
