Extra Fulmer Cup points for Tennessee! Lady Vol alumna Chamique Holdsclaw busted for assault

Women athletes seldom, if ever, contribute toward their school's Fulmer Cup prowess, awarded to the school that has the most players behind bars. So this deserves a special (dis)honorable mention:

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/former-wnba-star-chamique-holdsclaw-indicted-faces-65-011137191--nba.html

In November, former WNBA star Chamique Holdsclaw was arrested after a violent incident involving an ex-girlfriend. According to reports, Holdsclaw followed Jennifer Lacy (her ex and teammate with the Atlanta Dream in 2009) in her car, smashed windows in Lacy's car with a baseball bat, and even fired a gunshot into the car while Lacy was still inside. It was an awful, disturbing story involving a woman who was once the biggest name in her sport....

According to TMZ.com, Holdsclaw could face up to 65 years in prison if found guilty on all six counts. Yet this story is far from over, and any legal analysis of the case would be very premature.

She was a great WNBA player. One of the best rebounders ever in the Womens game.

I'm from Connecticut. That puts her in the same category as a U of A player would be for you.
