So lets get a tally:

1. No negative incidents since last fall
2. No academic problems
3. No running out of strikes on drug tests

And yet, on the one hand, the coaching staff bends over backwards (and rightfully so may I add) to assist one player that was facing a life threatening illness in Lofton, yet they mysteriously run a guy from Knoxville that had a similar life threatening crisis with his heart, even though he had allegedly turned his life around and was in good academic standing?

Who else is buying this?

Not that it matters, but Duke's heart problem was a misdiagnosis. And the team/university was behind him during the period of the misdiagnosis.

I 100% believe that it was a misdiagnosis...

And you 100% believe that Duke's had no incidents whatsoever, either academically or behaviorally, for the last 7 or 8 months?

I don't like the idea of our players getting in trouble but it gives me an example to tell my son you break the rules you are going to suffer the consiquences no matter how good of a player you are.

I knew it!!..people are already using UT as a teaching tool. Best, worst example kind of thing!!

I hope UT straightens things out before my kid is old enough to watch sports. I DO NOT want UT to be my best, worst example. Florida/Alabama ok.
