first off, lemme be clear, if there's any serious allegations of rule breaking, i'm all for punishment for Peej.
but let me be perfectly honest.. the article is based on a few disgruntled former players with an axe to grind and a former reagent who hates athletics at the collegiate level. the facts are very very little and allegations have zero proof at the moment.
to me, the MOST telling stuff about this whole thing is this: no one in the TC media (who LOVES a good MN sports scandal, esp the Gophers) would have touched that story. its a reoccuring claim that happens every year around this time and no one wants to lay out proof or put their name on it. even the national media only cared about what the Fleck bank was.
so, ionno. i read it and while its a bunch of weird stuff, theres nothing incriminating and i went through worse playing HS football in 98-2000.
He's a dufus, but I agree with your last sentence.
I am a little disheartened to find that I played HS football 17 years before you did. That's not good.
