ooof if this is true, not good at all...

Lawsuit was a given, just surprised it’s that quick. An actual murderer hasn’t been arrested yet.

Said it yesterday, saying again. Shut the program down. Only way to cleanse.

That press release alone is poison on the recruiting trail.

Why no lawsuit against Alabama?

I don't get it. These players need to also learn about loss, grief, and that inevitably we all die. Life goes on.
Yes, it's sad that a friend and teammate died, but there must be something else to this.

Yeah, I'm calling nonsense on cancelling the rest of the season.

They were 0-6 and decided to quit.

If they were 6-0, would they have cancelled the remainder of the season?

A player called his parents that his roommate in a school supplied living arrangement pulled a gun on him. The dad called the coach, who did nothing and then the kid was murdered.

They could have been in the BCS playoffs and that season was getting cancelled.

Yeah, just read the latest article... yikes, what a horrible situation. Why the heck did they put a student athlete in an apartment with a roommate that isn't even a student?

I still think that had this happened at top tier P5 school, they would not have shut the program down for the rest of the year, which is really sad. They would have dismissed the coach and any player associated with the situation, named an interim coach, and kept playing.

Holy ____ . That is horrible

I'm old enough to remember when ncaa didn't want athletes living just with athletes, then to get around that is when most seemed to go into off campus instead.

If i had a $1 for every allegation made in public or in a pleading that turned out to be false or partially false, we would have had a new stadium last year.

(Exaggerating, but I’d probably have a few thousand more dollars in my bank account)

Three sides to every story.

I still would like to hear the players perspectives on this. I'm not in their shoes but my mind is saying, fire the HC & any others involved and let us play the remainder of the season in honor of a fallen teammate. I would not care if we were 0-6 or 6-0.

I don't know, I think it might be better to let things get sorted out instead of just playing football the weekend after the incident happened. I get what you're saying they would play for, but it still might look insensitive if they choose to continue playing.

Truly awful situation though. It's a shame this happened at all. Prayers up for Caldwell's family and the NSU football team.
