But it HAS been playing. They HAVE been protected by those in “The Program”. What will be interesting to watch is if suddenly, “The Program” spits out the thugs.
Right now they have the protection, its gone from the protection of the street to the protection of “The Program”. If that goes away in large part, whoa nelly, this game just changed.
Are you listening, Notre Dame??
The program can’t protect players after they are arrested. VT’s kicker was charged after being involved in a break-in and fight over a drug deal gone bad. He was booted from the team and missed the bowl game (Tech lost on a missed field goal). He was re-instated but only after a lot of work by the player.
Our RB was kicked off this week. The team appeared apathetic to having him back, probably because of other issues. Teams are learning when to cut their losses.
