Auburn looks to now try to take pro-active action with player issues. Whether it is to try to mitigate Cam Newton issues in the future, or as a result of how BYU has handled things, and how other schools are now getting called out for how poorly they are handling things, Auburn got it 100% right this time.



Four players involved in an armed robbery all got booted, prior to any legal process

.

"The players arrested in connection with this deeply troubling incident have been permanently dismissed from our football team," Chizik said in a statement. "While we realize the legal process will run its course and these young men have a right for their case to be heard, playing for Auburn University is an honor and a privilege. It is not a right."

I realize that this is a case of damned if they do, damned if they don't, but what happens if the players are found innocent like those lacrosse players were several years ago? Would they have a good case for a big law suit?

Doubt it. I bet the schollie has a morals clause, and even if found not guilty, could still be a violation of how it might be worded. Plus, these guys were caught with teh property, so it is a pretty clear cut case, I think. Plus, schollies can be revoked at any time for any reason and are year to year and not a 4 year guarantee.

(Now that we have our National Championship)"
