If DGB was your son, how would you react to his dismissal from the team?

Your son, DGB, is one of the most athletically gifted high school kids in recent memory. Some refer to him as an athletic freak of nature. If he performs as expected in college, he'll be a certain 1st round draft pick. His future is extremely bright. The kid has almost won the lottery. Your job as his father is to make sure he simply follows the game plan.
Flash forward a couple of years. He's been arrested multiple time for drugs and people allege that he was directly involved in a domestic assault on a woman. He is dismissed from college.
As his father, how would you react? Would you be upset at the university or at DGB? Both? What kind of public statement would you make?
ETA:
Privately I would give that kid the smackdown of his life. My law would be laid down upon him.
However, publically I would do everything possible to make sure he remained eligible to play, even if that meant seeking an NCAA waiver for wrongful dismissal when I knew in the back of my mind that the university's punishment was fair. I'd even request a conversation with Bob Stoops or any other respectable coach.
Essentially, I'd do exactly what DGB's dad is doing.
He's my kid and my job as his dad is to do everything in my power to make sure he has a bright future.
All other opinions be damned.

I would wonder how I had a black baby when I was 4 years old

I wouldn't because my son wouldn't have signed with some shite school in the Midwest out of high school.

My son would not be in that position in the first place but let's just say where he played football would be the least of his worries

My son would not have gone to a heathen place like Mizzou in the first place. I blame the atmosphere for DGB's troubles.

i would be mad at dgb but i wouldn't be surprised at all if his parents are more pissed at the university. sadly, it seems no one thinks he's capable of anything more than a football player.

Depends on if you have the attitude of Sterling Bailey's father or Shaq Wiggins I guess. The correct answer is pretty obvious though.

It is sad...but everyone in Springfield knows the truth - he's not an intelligent kid. That was well known before he graduated high school.
