Their season has been mediocre so far. If the players and coach do not show for the games, play the games anyway with what you have. Then sack the coach for a losing season. The players can be told that they have lost their scholarships and now must pay for the semester or be kicked out. Yes, it is hard*ss, but most of them will not make it into the NFL so they will need to get a job in the real world. And that will probably be their first lesson in the real world.
As I posted on the other thread, my wife points out that this is the logical extension to letting Vanderbilt beat you.
Mediocre, that is kind. They are 1-5 in their conference. Crappy is the proper word. Coach sided with players, idiot should be quietly looking for a new job as a high school coach or at an NAIA school.
