There seems to be some drama going on with the blonde guy...couldn't ever figure it out...I really don't feel like he would have ratted them all out and gotten them all in trouble just for a yale recommendation
shareJUST a Yale recommendation? That was plenty. Also, I always thought that Wheeler selling out shows that he really wasn't a natural member of the crew. A key component of life and growing up is learning that you can't trust people that you thought you could.
Gary Dourdan looks like Gary Gnu from the Great Space Coaster.
Another reason why Wheeler sqealed in my opinion is that he was jealous of Dunph being with in a relationship with Jane. He screwed Jane over the most out of all the people in the room.

i don't necessarily agree with that - all he said is that she was the most popular girl in school (maybe even most beautiful) but really never expressed any desire for her otherwise, and he had no idea what deal funderburk was going to make with dunphy and especially what funderburk would do upon making that deal. hadn't a bunch of them already been caught with booze and pot and only got hours and probation?
shareYeah, it was in order to get into Yale, which if you know anything, is kinda a big deal. Since he had previously gotten busted, and his grade probably weren't the greatest, he was probably looking at going to Miami instead...that's right, the U!

perhaps he was jealous over the relationship but not for jane to be screwed mostly her to broke up with with Dunph...

They weren't even at the party together - Wheeler said he was leaving "to make a phone call" and right as he closed the door, Jane starts calling for Tim outside the window (which I doubt Wheeler would've been able to hear from the hall, especially with all the noise). Then she asks where he's been as they were supposed to meet at the fort and she had been waiting for him for an hour (so it wasn't like she had plans to show up and Wheeler picked that time to make his exit). Jane tries twice to get Dunphy to come with her but he managed to convince her to come up for a quick drink. In between that, they flashed over to Wheeler who looked nervously between the phone and Funderburk's door (it didn't look like it was an easy decision for him). So he wasn't still around when Dunphy convinced Jane to come up and thus he had no way to know she was there.
Jane being the one to really get hurt was just a case of being in the wrong place, with the wrong people, at the wrong time - Funderburk hated Dunphy and wanted nothing more than to see him suffer, especially after Dunphy tried to blackmail him. But he saw that Dunphy not only didn't seem to care if he was booted, but he was willing to be booted so long as his friends could get off with a slap on the wrist. Which is the only thing he really cared about - He didn't think his life was going anywhere so he didn't care so much about thrashing it, but his friends and their lives meant something to him. So since there was nothing Funderburk could do directly to Dunphy that would really hurt him, he decided to hurt him by targeting his friends. And since Jane had the most to lose, hurting her would hurt Dunphy the most... and it did.
Yes, it was all for a Yale recommendation. Yale is a hard school to get into.
