Got to love this headline.

I know I'm in the minority, but I think it's long past time for the NCAA to take a role in discipline for off-field incidents. The NFL doesn't leave this up to the clubs, and the NCAA shouldn't leave it up to the coaches either. Unless we're OK with watching players who really don't belong outside a jail cell take over the game.

I normally don't care about this stuff, but LSU is pretty pathetic.

After the way Miles handled the JHill scenario, I moved him to the top of the "enabler" list. The inmates are running the prison over there. We think OM is a win at all cost school, but LSU makes them look like Baptist Student Union.

That's great, but I disagree about the need for the NCAA to step in.

The NCAA can't come up with a consistent plan for attacking recruiting violations. You certainly don't want them stepping in on criminal cases.

I honestly don't think the NFL should be doing that either. If the Ravens want to take the heat over Ray Rice, let them take that heat. Likewise, if LSU wants to take the heat over Jeremy Hill and others, let them take the heat. The minute you step in, then every time someone gets in a bar fight, the media starts screaming at the NCAA to do something.

They shouldn't want that, and I don't think fans or schools would want that either.

And you think it's bad with local police covering for athletes now? Assign discipline to the NCAA, and you'll have every coach in America setting up deals with their local PDs in order to keep things out of the papers or out of criminal reports as much as possible.

I agree, but who in LSU country is going to blush? Those idiots don't care if their name gets dragged through the mud. Don't hold your breath waiting on them to properly police themselves. The trash that is is facilitating all of it doesn't even know how to feel public pressure.

Yeah thats right, Let's take context out of it and have blanket rules and make it up as they go. It's working great for the NFL right now. They're very consistent. Eliminate all opportunities for 2nd and 3rd chances for 18-22 year olds**

Trump's twitter fight with Megyn Kelly pales in comparison with Buckey and Bjork's twitter fight with every damn body

 

[CochiseCowbell]

The only times I've ever been tempted to join twitter have been the posts here that link to these two having online slap fights with any & all challengers."I may not be a very smart man, Jenny, but I know [when I'm being trolled & realize that my job is a high profile one.]" Wtf is wrong with Bjork & Freeze?!

Miles is most lenient coach about discipline I've ever seen. It is pathetic! Agree.

Actually Miles is pretty strident when it comes to the disciplining of other coaches' players. His own players is another story.

For all its faults, the NFL is a lot closer to getting it right than the Les Miles of college football are. I do agree there are a lot of coaches in college football who do get it right, Dan Mullen among them.
