I was about to say what AllDawgs 5 said, kick their buts off the team, let them see if they can get into the NFL on their own. I am serious, this is a joke and the university has being the laughing stock of college football. I say kick them all off, and lose the schlorship, I would rather win or lose with players that can do the right things and not break the law. For some, this is the 2nd time, no excusses. Why did Rambo give up the NFL to get busted and now maybe lose his shot at playing in the NFL. He must have seen something in this team that made him want to win a championship.
I know I wanted to be the first to blame CMR and his lack standards, but I do know first hand that no matters what you say , they do what they want. This is why I say kick them off the team, lose your schlorship and can not transfer to another school, you are done as a college athlete. It may take a year of 2 for these kids to realize that college football has gotten serious and will not put up with this crap any longer.
You are unfortunately dead right duck. I, too, have family that have had the same type problems, been in rehab etc......no matter what you do, say or threaten them with, it just doesn't matter. They will do what they want to do and in some cases will need help. I've "preached", threatened, cussed out, cut off for years......does ZERO good. If the kid wants to do it or is addicted, you're wasting you time.......AND may be too late for them as well.
