Actions speak louder than words. It doesn't matter if Miles always made it a point of saying "education is very important" in team meetings. He knew the things that were going on in the program and he didn't take action. It's kind of like allowing a team vote to determine the fate of a fellow player. You can always deflect the ridicule from the outside by saying "the team decided they wanted him to stay," but everyone knows it was only put to a team vote so Les would have an excuse for keeping a criminal on the team.

That's Les Miles coach speak to get everybody to buy into "the team is one" kind of mentality. If Miles would've felt that the incident was serious enough, he would've just kicked the kid off of the team. You think the team voted on the Honey Badger getting kicked off of the team? He failed enough drug tests and that was it. I'm sure the team didn't vote on Ryan Perrilloux getting kicked off the team a few years back when he was supposed to be the starting QB and the next great thing...

You can always deflect the ridicule from the outside by saying "there is no way to trace the cash that Johnny got for his autographs," but everyone knows it was only said to have an excuse for keeping an ineligible player on the team.

Stop. By now, its pretty obvious no one has a leg to stand on here. I know for a fact some former A&M players got VERY special treatment in class.

Perhaps you should go write for SI because they need a shiteton of help in proving this. Or is that just you talking out of your arse?

It's actually nothing like this...nothing at all. What a pathetic, half-assed attempt at a reacharound.

Aggie fans are the last ones that should be running their mouths regarding improprieties.

Whereas Sumlin made no apologies for keeping his QB criminal on the team. You mad because JH33 trucked your sorry team last year and will do it again...we understand.
