So what do we know about the basketball team after today’s news? Let’s try to connect the dots.

None of the players were named by the school because of student privacy laws. But the incident report tells us there were three players involved in the incident — Marcus Britt, Glenn Bryant and Nick Mason. Courtney Fortson also will be disciplined for his Tweet, which was being reviewed based on the school’s social networking guidelines.

And Arkansas has announced these punishments “following a recent review of issues involving certain members” of the team.

* Multiple-game suspensions ranging from two to three games based upon a variety of considerations

* Individualized meetings with an appropriate professional regarding decision-making choices

* Individualized educational meetings concerning the University’s policies

* Community service activities

* Any future violations of team rules or Athletic Department policies may result in dismissal from the team

We’ve also been told by athletic director Jeff Long that the players involved will serve their suspensions simultaneously beginning with the season opener. We’re not sure who has a two-game suspension or who has a three-game suspension, but we do know what three games will be affected: Alcorn St., Louisville, and Appalachian State.

In addition, Arkansas dropped in a line in the release letting us know that any other players who may have been in violation of team rules prior to the frat house incident are facing “individual discipline and corrective measures” as well. Who falls in that category also wasn’t revealed by the school, but any playing time missed by those will be “spaced out” according to Long.

One more thing: Fortson’s “Tweet” punishment also sets a precedent for the athletic department, according to Long. He did not mention Fortson by name, though. Arkansas put its social networking guidelines in place in time for the fall semester. Said Long: “I think prior to the policy, we had some that were borderline and could’ve been punished. But this is the first one that falls under our policy.”

Finally, we know that Pelphrey has Long’s public support. The athletic director said Pelphrey issued a “strong response” with his disciplinary action regarding this event. He also said several times he supported Pelphrey and the two are on the same page. I wanted to know when a coach has to start taking blame for players who continue to take missteps. Long’s response:

“I think if a coach was ignoring actions of young people or making excuses for them or those kind of things, then I think the coach certainly has some responsibility there,” Long said. “But when a young person who is not under our supervision 24 hours a day, seven days a week make bad choices, which young people 18 to 23, 24, do every night or every day on this campus, it’s difficult to hold a coach responsible for that.”

So now that we’ve gone through that, I want to know one other thing: What do you think?

Did the punishment fit the situation?

Is it too harsh for players who aren’t facing criminal charges?

Is it too light for players who put themselves in a bad situation?
