"It's a felony and it's a serious, serious thing," "They're not a part of this football team until this thing gets cleared up or they never (will) be a part.

"If they can't correct it, then you have to correct it for them; that's the way it is going to be. It's in the legal channels and we're just going to have to wait and see if they can correct the issue."

"We tried to explain to them what's going to be accepted and what's not going to be accepted, and what are going to be the consequences," Smith said. "We're going to demand that they do the right things.

"If (the message) hasn't got across, it certainly will before it's all said and done."
