Simmons is doing a lot with his second chance. Dean's list in first semester. Good on him for making the most of his chance. He'll never outrun that story but it doesn't have to be his only story.

Matt Luke is throttling back...

If he goes too hard on his team, they'll bail in bunches and have a mutiny.

Put yourself in Luke's shoes. He's been earning about $500K and has just been promoted to his dream job on an interim basis for $1M. If he wins 6-7 games this fall, he's got a good chance to get the job for 3-4 years at about $2.5M (if he doesn't get a show cause). Now, how easy is it to give 2 of your defensive starters any significant suspension? This is why the NCAA needs to take the role of the NFL with player suspensions. The head coaches have way too much of a vested interest to put any thug on the field that can help him win.
