I understand why they did it, but it's really not necessary to go that extreme.
A five game suspension would have sufficed.

I think what this guy did was worse.Although still clearly in the wrong,Blount was provokedand made a snap decision to jaw the kid who was taunting him. This guy, for noobvious reason, punchedDee in the nuts then acted like he didn't do anythingwrong, apparently lied to his coach and said he didn't do it...THEN called the ref a mother17er for allnearby to hear...THEN took off his jersey and threw it in the tunnel.ckDOG said:
One mistake in a very important game where nerves are running high and players are very emotional is not a reason to revoke someones scholarship and ruin his life. I have no clue about this guys financial situation, but most college basketball players are not wealthy enough to spit out the money it takes to attend college these days. Pell grants help but I would bet that scholarship was his future to graduating with a college degree. Thus, going on to living a successful life. Maybe he has alot of money and can continue on through school, but this punishment had to have been because there were other troubling situations he got into in the past.deltadawg1212 said:
Don't be a dickhead. A few games next season would have been fine. Did the guy from the other game on "NIT scrotal abuse night" get his scholarship revoked? I hope not.
It was totally unexpected. They have some trouble guys on the team but he was not one of them.
Apparently Bost had been holding him all game because of his hip pointer and he just got tired of it. When i was talking to the coach last night there was no mention of the kid having his scholly revoked. Seems a bit harsh.

Well I'm glad some justice came of it. Football players getting in a fight is one thing but there should be no tolerance for nut shots.

and "Not a contributor". Nor was he working out very well.
Maybe he carried his anger into the locker room and then into the punishment discussionwith CoachAnderson and pushed it too far. You must give Anderson the benefit ofany doubt that you would have. What he decided to do with the player was appropriate, regardless of how much or little we know. The player was getting a free ride and needed to follow the JSU program rules.
Still a horrible shame to mess up so badly that you lose your free ride. IMO< the worst part is it never had to happen. Whatever brought it on (insulting words, unseen foul, whatever) , surely it is not the worst antagonism he has ever seen or endured on a basketball court.

...and throwing it should all be acceptable as long as it is in the heat of the battle. Give me a break. They have already said he will have a chance to walk on next year so obviously he will remain in school.
