Never liked Craig James, who was one of the players who took down the SMU football program. Now he takes down another due to a selfish kid.

Here is what Graham Harrell said about Adam James:

2008 Heisman Trophy finalist Graham Harrell:
Adam was on the baseball team his true freshman year at Tech, before he ever joined the football team, and did not make it through the baseball season because of his selfish attitude. After a baseball game in which he felt like he did not get enough playing time, but the team still won twenty to one, he came into the locker room after the game and “pouted and threw a big fit” according another player on the baseball team.
A few weeks later in the middle of the season, he just stopped showing up to practices or game and quit because he was not happy about how he was being treated. One of my roommates was a baseball player on the team and many of my friends were a part of the team that witnessed all of this. These baseball players told me he was “spoiled and selfish” before he ever came to the football team. After quitting baseball he came out for football and his selfish attitude was very evident, as was his laziness. During off-season workouts he often would be caught skipping lifts in the weight room or finding ways to cut corners/get out of conditioning exercises.
Adam was a kid that seemed like he had been given everything he wanted his whole life and acted like if things did not go exactly how he wanted someone was treating him unfairly or someone needed to be blamed for his failures. He was a selfish player on and off the field that was counter-productive for our team and would be for any other team.

How is any of this relevant?

There are two relevant facts: 1) Did James have a concussion? 2) Knowing this, did Leach banish him to a shed where he was forced to stand in darkness?

If either or both of these things did not happen, Leach is being railroaded.

If they are both true, his actions are indefensible.
