I guess that would be better than the alternative. I don't like spreading rumors but all signs point to an academic issue. I don't see him shooting out car windows or being into drugs so this makes the most sense.


My wife teaches at USC and she tells me how rough it is on the student athletes. Especially on the upperclassmen who are finishing up their degrees.


I'm sure we're all hoping for a speedy return to the team for Sin. Also I give a lot of credit to Coach Martin for making this decision even though is was a hard one to make. He's letting it be known to the rest of the guys that no one is above punishment with him in charge. I just hope that it doesn't cost us what I hoped to be a great season for us.
