Northwestern State Football Cancels Season

[ZoomZoom]

They had to shut it down. You have one player arrested for obstruction. And the authorities are not finished. Obviously, the staff does not know who else may be connected, if anyone. Cannot risk it going further south.

. . . when the fit hits the shan, it’s time to turn off the fan . . .

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.

Roommate has been arrested.

Roommate has been arrested.

So was a teammate for obstruction. Nobody arrested for the actual murder yet.

Not much traffic.

Players get an indirect say.....Just guessing here but I'd anticipate their outgoing player portal counts gonna get very busy in December in the next available window.

. . . they 0 and 6 in the Southland . . . not sure that amounts to too much portal material . . .

A LC reporter was on the radio today implying there’s a lot more. Possibly even coaches not showing up to practice for safety concerns.

Shut the program down.

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.

unless a teammate brought the gun to the killer, then probably not cancelled

[R1Letterman]

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.

well in defense of the p5 they wouldnt have been so strapped for cash that everyone had to have a roommate, they likely would have found a more expensive single residence

. . . they 0 and 6 in the Southland . . . not sure that amounts to too much portal material . . .

ooops

Not to mention the other schools on their schedule that now don't have a game to play. Could come down to 1 or more schools not making a bowl game because of it.
