Oso planning to go pro
Based on posts already made, its pretty clear that the consensus is that ND is being heavy handed and throwing a kid overboard to save its image. Of course, there could always be more to the story.
And I think that's a point some should consider before throwing Notre Dame under the bus or accusing them of being unfair.
the better thing to do would be to suspend him from the team the rest of this season, put him on a probation where he was not allowed to practice or play with the team and was required to attend regular counseling, maintain a specific minimum gpa, and pass drug tests through the rest of the year. If he failed to do any of these things THEN expel him under THOSE conditions.
In reading this story, I can't help but recall Zac McCall. Does anyone remember exactly what happened with him. Was it similar?
I understood McCall's was a first offense scenario, unlike Bo Ellis' where he apologized to the school and community and might have sat out a game. Also unlike the UW kid from Wisconsin (can't remember his name)... he sat for 2 weeks of pre-conference games then was back in line-up (under BoBo) then he transferred to Iowa. Damn, what was his name?
