When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

Coach K doesn't come off as a Zero Tolerance guy. There were games this season where these guys could have been suspended for violating team rules and no one would have been any wiser. Kelly didn't participate in the MSU game, Engel didn't participate in the ISUb game, and Van Dellen didn't participate in a few games. I am not saying they were suspended for those games, but they could have been. I think Klieman is very aware of how suffocating a zero tolerance program would be, but if you do find yourself on the wrong end of a bad decision a second time, there isn't any room to see a third time.
These are 19-24 year old men. They need to make adult decisions and they will have adult consequences for their actions. The bottom line is no matter what anyone said how special they were when they were recruited, it is still a privilege to play college football. Their future in the workforce will not be as forgiving.
There should be a rule granting every citizen on the planet a “get out of jail” free card for any weed consumed during a Bill Walton broadcast.

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

My boss hates it when I shorten his name to Dick, mainly because his name is Steven.
I am fine with Zero Tolerence, however, keep in mind that it applies to everyone moving forward. And, what is the threshold for zero tolerance (what type of mishap), what punishment fits what crime? What if Deluca and Cox were to be lured into an altercation in a McDonalds parking lot, a fight takes place, stories vary, people get hurt etc..... ?????? Hmmm, What if its a week before a championship game? The word "ZERO" is a slippery word. Also, NDSU may well have this type of instance covered I was simply noting that often times you can put yourself in a box for the future. Shit Happens. 100 men ages 18-24 are going to have instances, we did!
