I said several weeks back that if Mullen would just simply say what the 17in punishment was, weeks back, this story would have died down pretty quickly.
Mullen has allowed this to drag on for way too long. Veazey is just a reporter, and this is a story that he doesn't have an answer to. Of course he is going to continue to write about it until he gets an answer.
Mullen has let this go on by not stating, "yes I am pissed off and here is the punishment he has been given and we are going to put it behind us now. He realized he made a mistake and he has paid for it, it is now time to focus on this football season and I will not speak on the subject again."
Instead Mullen has stated that he would in the future, release to the media the punishment that Dixon has served and that he would make a decision on him playing internally. Well, he never told anyone the punishment Dixon went through and that is what Veazey is after. I just think if Mullen handles it differently, this thing goes away because he leaves them nothing to write about.
