Hahaha, this makes me giggle (Hence the hahaha's, in case you failed to notice them.) That was hardly the strangest comparison made in this thread, and it did indeed fit the subject very, very well. Winners get more scrutiny than losers, because they won. It is, indeed, a fact of life. Happens in the Olympics. Happens in Pokemon. Happens in Beauty Pageants. Happens in Politics. Happens, in short, in life.

Can't love the game that much or respect the community. Otherwise you never would've done what you did. Give us a break.

WWJD? I know lots of peoples feelings were hurt but a lot of you are forgetting that which goes above all else.

um, considering i'm not xtian, 'wwjd' plays NO part in my response to this situation.
being or not being a religious person by no means requires one to be a doormat and accept whatever someone else wishes to dish out without consequences for their actions. in my spiritual tradition, that's called 'karma'...

He may not be a criminal in the true sense of the word, but he not only violated the Professor Cup and Pokemon values, but those of Kent State as well. Universities do care, very much, about the values and character standards of their students. This may seem on the face of it to be minor, but such behavior then raises concern about future behavior as well.
From Kent State's website:
1) "Integrity in all of our actions and communications. " -- from the Core Values of Kent State's mission statement
http://www.kent.edu/president/mission-statement.cfm
And from their Code of Conduct:
SECTION 5: Prohibited Conduct
A. Jurisdiction of the Code of Student Conduct
1. The Code of Student Conduct shall apply to conduct occurring on University premises, at University-sponsored activities, and to off-campus conduct that adversely affects the University community and/or the pursuit of its objectives. Each student shall be responsible for his/her conduct from the time of application for admission through the actual awarding of a degree, even though conduct may occur before classes begin or after classes end, as well as during the academic year and during periods between terms of actual enrollment.
To Wit: 18. MISREPRESENTATION - Knowingly distorting or altering the truth for personal gain or favor, including but not limited to: falsification of admissions application, possessing false identification, or falsification of documents provided to University faculty or staff.
Some of you might think it is a stretch to categorize this behavior as something a university might be concerned about. I am not sure it would be dismissed so quickly.

That's really pushing the limits of what this is about. All he did was get into an event he shouldn't have been in, actually succeeded, and says he was passing off his prizes. This stupid little event shouldn't jeopardize any chance he has of getting to improve his life. Some of us don't get that kind of opportunity and this little event shouldn't be used try and belittle his significant life opportunities.

It also takes guts to rob a bank at gun point. Is that bank robber also your hero?
If someone writes or calls Kent State and this guy gets unaccepted, that would be epic.
Wow that was a ownage but i don't think this should affect his school life... He made a huge mistake and he should probably be banned and have to pay for the stuff, but it should definitely not hinder him from acheiving a degree and doing something with his life
I'm not going to get into an argument here, but these are two very different things.
Sneaking into a professor cup and winning isn't against the law. It goes against rules of the game, but there's not a law that I am aware of that states you can't sneak into a pokemon tournament.
Robbing a bank at gun point actually breaks laws.
Have you ever heard of theft by deception. It is against the law.
Not for nothing, but this in no way allows the reposting of copyrighted material. Adam had nothing to do with this, but his site broke the story and should get the traffic.

The should both be banned. He should be banned and the professor who brought him and didnt say anything.
Maybe we should let someone from the master division play in the junior divison just because he put the wrong birth year. Sorry cheating is cheating weather it was cought by the event staff or not.
