Report: Clemson suspends three players for Orange Bowl

The No. 4 Clemson Tigers have suspended three players -- wide receiver Deon Cain, tight end Jay Jay McCullough, and kicker Ammon Lakip -- for the Orange Bowl over a violation of team rules, ESPN Upstate's Price Atkinson reported Tuesday night.

All three players were sent home Tuesday afternoon after reportedly failing drug tests, according to Aaron Brenner of The Post & Courier.

Cain is having an impressive true freshman season, ranking second on the team in both receiving yards (582) and touchdowns (five) and third in receptions (34).

Lakip was suspended for the first three games of the season after he was arrested for DUI and possession of cocaine in June. He has handled kickoff duties for the Tigers this season and he's also 7-of-7 on extra points.

McCullough played just 98 snaps over 12 games

Pretty damn selfish of these players to put their wants above the team's main goal.

Hugh Freeze would have started them.

Hugh Freeze would have started them.

So would Urban Meyer. He's playing (starting) Elliott after his most recent fiasco.

Lakip has no reason to stop now. He's a senior and this was his last chance to do anything.

I lost respect for him long ago but somehow it dipped even lower into the negative when I read that .. Good lord.

Shoot, you'd think he'd at least wait til this post season ends rather than once again jeopardize his team.

You would think Robert Nkemdechie wouldn't ever take a drug again after seeing his brother laid up in the ER, but that lasted a week. Short term memory of society these days will be a personal killer of lives.

@ESPNStatsInfo: Clemson WR Deon Cain will miss tomorrow's CFP Semifinal for violating team rules.

He's caught 31% of Clemson's Pass TD over last 6 games.

Cain is the one that will hurt the most. I thought Clemson would beat Oklahoma but this could change that.

@CecilHurt: I wonder if Clemson sent its suspended players home from Miami via bus (Alabama did in 2012 BCS game)

Kudos to Dabo for doing the right thing. PERIOD.
I'm hearing reports that TB was sent home from Dallas today. Saban is doing the right thing too.
