Maybe he can go join his younger brother to start over.
I've felt maturity has been an issue along with his play.
Still on hold for me pending all the facts. Not his return, just the total real story.

I agree...but the reality is that the dismissal from the team ...who should have more of the real story ...should have enough details based on fact to warrant that decision

I’m gojng to go on the assumption that the school did the right thing based on facts they know that we don’t

Can’t imagine them dismissing so quickly unless the actions done by thiam were that egregious that a dismissal was warranted

Especially in the litigious age ....

He’s barred from campus, so it was inevitable

I am not questioning the decision. Just wondering what allows the school to bar him? He's not a convicted criminal ( not sure that matters anyway)...
because he was on athletic scholar? (my guess)
Didn't happen in a dorm...or was it on campus apartment?

Was it the school that barred him or the judge that barred him from the campus and any contact with the person involved

I hope this team is focused for tomorrow. Sorry for lacking any interest or care for how Issa is doing. Issa got himself in this mess. The rest of the team didn’t. They have had a good year and I hope they can overcome this distraction. If they don’t and they lose in the first round, I won’t knock them too much. I’m worried a lot of people on this board will

They need to step up and play ball, plenty of other teams gone thru crap and performed. Teamate, yes. Major contributor , no.

What did U if Mich do after the whole team darn near died on a runway coming into BTT in Maryland?

I wonder what his upbringing was like as a kid. I know it sounds like I am making an excuse for him.

The more I think about this the more I feel bad. Not at all sure of the circumstances but you fly a kid over cause of skills, put a ball in hand, then expect "normal" American societal behavior.

Cleary not correct behavior but there's a missing piece that contributes here. And I'm the last guy who'd make excuses.

If he’s convicted and he is proven to have a mental health issue, than I feel sorry for him. If he is determined to be mentally stable and is convicted I have no sympathy whatsoever..none.

I like to believe that slapping a woman repeatedly and threatening to kill her with a knife is not just against normal American societal behavior but against normal civilized human societal behavior.

yes I agree. I am not saying it is right. I am just saying there must be something else there. I guess I am hoping there is to help explain the off the chart actions.
