Gopher players say that they will boycott their bowl game in San Diego until ten suspended players are reinstated.
This mess has been going on all season and is pretty complicated.

Why aren't the snowflakes on that campus excoriating their football team? Where are the protests? These players have been suspended for an alleged sexual assault.

Per @McMurphyESPN (https://twitter.com/McMurphyESPN), Northern Illinois would take #Gophers (https://twitter.com/hashtag/Gophers?src=hash) place in Holiday Bowl if decision made w/in 48 hours
Imagine if you are Northern Illinois and you get a call telling you to play in San Diego on Dec. 27th? Lots of plans would have to be changed quickly.

The local DA and police department has also already cleared the players and stated there isn't enough evidence of wrong doing to press charges. This has been "settled" in the legal system for over a month and a half.
Why, now, is the university panel bringing suspensions when they players had already been "cleared"

The Presidential Election has been over for the same amount of time and the snowflakes are still protesting that.

I think they've dug themselves a hole. Baylor is reeling, too. Could be a comedy of errors in this game with no one focused.

I'd bet my money on Wazzu in this game.
The U of M could screw up a two car funeral. This crap has gone on in football and basketball. Also wrestling.
Thank goodness for our volleyball, women's hockey and softball teams. They haven't ended up in scandal.........yet.
The administration has been piz poor for decades. Ken Keller's Commitment to Focus should have been Commitment to F-us back in the 80s. Now this clown said it was the coach'es decision but it wasn't- he lied. And of course the problems during Clem Haskin's time here. Just one thing after another. Come to think of it, they were cheating in the 70s too with Bill Musselman.
There should be more than one D-1 school (other than hockey) in this state.
