Well dang, I guess apart from Mark Barron our secondary will be; brand new.

i don't get this. Its ok to knock someone out on national TV and play later that year, punch another female basketball player in the game and only sit out two games, get a DUI and sit a game, etc, etc, etc...

but a whatever he did gets you a year. The NCAA needs to pull their heads outta their ass. I'm not saying this because of Green's issue, because whatever he did, he knew the rules, its more a statement of the rules not making sense across the board.

Just wait, they're setting us up for USC to get their slap on the wrist and sternly written letter of censure.

Has it ever officially been said publicly what Green did to deserve this suspension? I have seen speculation of sort, but nothing from an absolutely trustworthy source.

First, if it was in place and he knew about it and then broke the rule anyway, then WHAT the rule was is irrelevant. A punishment is warrented, not for WHAT he did but BECAUSE he did. Does it make any sense that the field is 53 yards wide vice a logical 50? No. It is there, and all of college football plays the same game on the same field. Rules are the same.

Second, WHAT the punishment is can not be judged, unless there are details that I have not read linked to this site. So we know what he did, that we may compare that to it punishment, and then against both "crime" and punishment in other cases?

Third, "Fair is not always equalt." - Coach Paul Bryant

Please post more details as they arise. Thanks.
