Interesting comment. Let's take a look:
2009 - Jordan Shultenover, projected starting WR. Kicked off team following arrest related to marijuana distribution.
Sidney Haynes, projected #2 WR. Kicked off team following undisclosed run-in with the law. Ended up at Georgia State and has some success there.
Dejuan Flowers, kicked off basketball team after starting at center for most of the year after shoplifting-related arrest.
2010 - Garrett Johnson, projected starter opposite Coulter Boyer at DE. Kicked off team after Best Buy debacle.
Greg Reid - see above, and was expected to be a big part of the team.
Sam Ojuri - projected backup and is now in contention for backup RB. Suspended all last season and was allowed to return by vote of team captains. No politicking involved on behalf of the university or coaches.
Make no mistake, as an NDSU fan I'm embarrassed at the number of run-ins with the law our team has had in the last few years, but to allude that there's any kind of favoritism based on talent is simply ignorant to an extreme. You should ensure that you're informed prior to making so rash an assumption in the future, Homer.
