Think You Had a Bad Day? Jamaal Bass Has You Beat

1

Northern Illinois linebacker Jamaal Bass appeared in court today to answer to the assault charges from that little Glass Bowl incident with the band member. It didn't go well. Bass was released on monitored reconnaissance, which brings with it a drug and alcohol test. The judge asked Bass what they would find in the test and he admitted to smoking marijuana. Oops. "I didn’t know that football players at university could smoke dope," the judge said, according to the Toledo Blade article. Northern Illinois released the following statement in response to Bass' confession: "Northern Illinois Athletics has in place a Drug Testing Policy which applies to all student-athletes," the statement read. "That policy dictates a specific course of action which NIU will now begin with football’s Jamaal Bass based on his statement today in Toledo." Yeah, bad day.
