Happy now? This is where the road was always going to inevitably lead. THIS is why you suspend players until they have gone through the criminal justice system, not after. It's irresponsible and wrong to put football first, and this is where that road leads. I posed a question earlier this week, and I ask it again, WHERE WOULD WE BE RIGHT NOW IF WE HAD A ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY FROM THE START?!!
The answer is, 3 to 4 years ahead of where you are today. It'll take that long to get back to this level of coaching and donor/booster commitment. For all the posters saying stupid things like "
I hope Engstrom gets shitcanned and the University gets sued back to the stone age.", do you really believe your donors are going to be happy sending money to UM to pay for lawsuits? Really?? Well then, step right up, because they're going to need all the money you can bring.
UM is finally doing the right thing - cleaning up the mess. Look down the road to Bozeman, they went through similar circumstances a few years ago, and it was ugly. Now, MSU has a growing, successful program, and a new stadium. The only way to solve this problem is to change leaders, and instill responsibility from the top down. The Griz have lost their AD, headcoach, OC, DC, and 10 of 11 starters on their defense. I'm a cat fan, but I still like your chances to make the playoffs better than MSU's.
