    I just can't put much stock into the player's side of the story when they act and speak so ignorantly. Perhaps there was a communication issue with the administration. But there is definitely an issue in that locker room.

    We do know that they could not and should not have told the players the details of the investigation, as that was private information and should have remained so. We also know that once the players found out what happened in the investigation, they ended their boycott. That makes it look like they were mad they weren't privy to sensitive private information. But much of that information was available in the police reports which they did have access to prior to the boycott. They just didn't bother to look into it and instead assumed that since no legal charges were brought nothing inappropriate happened, even though they knew the jist of it.

    So yeah, sorry the players just don't have much credibility in my mind.

    I heard a few things as well. Won't put them on here but let's just say I haven't lost any sleep over his decision.

    Fleck should be like "don't let it hit you where the good lord split you" with these guys.

    That's cheesy enough for him to actually say.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    The more I think about this...the more it doesnt make sense from the players. Didnt this whole thing happen back in the fall? Wasnt it one of the cheerleaders who got a restraining order, and then some players were not allowed to show up at the stadium for game day because of said restraining order? How did they not know what it involved? Even if they didnt get Every detail from the accused...it had to seem sketchy. And lets be honest...kids dont keep secrets very well...there had to be rumblings what it was about. To claim total ignorance is just dumb. Then to claim they had no outside voices telling them what to do is just dumb.

    That story really made me question what the cumulative IQ of the UM football team is despite the 3.0 team GPA. The story also made me realize how "lost" many of these players are to be so clueless and insensitive. I am surprised more women's lib groups haven't been mandating female sensitivity training for the team - deservedly so since men's basketball had a somewhat similar incident exposed recently too.

    Finally, glad to be a Bison fan but that whole incident is bad for college athletics and I kind of feel bad for Claey having to deal with these players. Wow they left him out to dry!
