A college student is unlikely to make $125,000 bail, which would result in failing those semester's classes. That would likely delay graduation by a year and the GPA hit from that would almost certainly preclude the possibility of graduating with honors.

Get the facts first; there is plenty of time for punishment after the facts are presented in court.
