I heard about the fight this morning but have yet to see it. I also heard there were many suspensions handed out.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) -- After reviewing a sideline-clearing brawl between players from Miami and Florida International, officials from both schools and their conferences on Sunday announced the suspension of 31 players -- 13 from the Hurricanes, and 18 from FIU.
One game suspension...  Â
It's the third on-field incident involving the Hurricanes in their last seven games. And there's been plenty of off-the-field ones, too.
-- Several Miami players fought with LSU players following the Tigers' 40-3 win in the Peach Bowl, a brawl that quickly escalated into an out-of-control melee in the tunnel leading from the field.
-- Shortly before the Miami-Louisville game Sept. 16, virtually the entire Hurricanes' roster jumped on the Cardinals logo at midfield -- an act widely viewed as a taunting gesture. Afterward, several Miami players chided teammates for their involvement in that incident.
-- A Miami player was shot outside his home shortly before training camp began in what players contend was a robbery attempt. Meriweather returned fire at the alleged assailants. Police said he acted legally.
-- Wide receiver Ryan Moore, who was sent home from the Peach Bowl for violating team rules, was suspended for the first two games of 2006 for other violations. He is expected to be charged this week with misdemeanors stemming from an August fight with a woman. He hasn't played this season.
And now, perhaps, comes the worst blow of them all, a melee that was out of hand within seconds of starting.
Maybe they can x-fer to the hockey team....

I just saw the brawl. Both teams should be done for the season. One game suspension is a joke.

I agree in part. The punisment, that has been issued so far, is not enough. Many of their players should be done for the year and others should be punished, depending on their level of individual involvement. The schools and the NCAA have the films, so it shoulden't be to tough to sort out with some time. Both have said these initial suspensions are not the end of the punishments. But the teams should be allowed to play on with what they have left. They have opponents who have been looking forward to playing them. Instead of puninshing thier future opponents, by cancelling their games, they should let the rest of their opponents, whip up on them, as they (U of M and FIU) play with thier depleted rosters. It will be interesting to see how this all works out.

But I won't lose sleep. After all football is secondary.
However, for many of the players at that level, football is their first choice for a carreer path. It is a risky path and they should back it up with a degree in an alternate field or one they can use to become a coach when they don't make it as a pro player. However, if you think about it, it is no more risky or frivolous than majoring in "performing arts". |
Amen brother! 
I watched a TV bit about a former Univ. of Kentucky basketball player, Desmond Allison, who had a promising future - only to lose it after he had his scholarship taken away for violating the school's zero tolerance rule.....he was since busted several times.
He has a second chance now, playing football up in South Dakota...the coach says the important thing is that this kid get an education. I hope he follows through.

After Monday and Tuesday, even the Calendar says : WTF .......

I love to wach USC and UCLA football, but when I saw Snoop Dog in the end zone during a USC game I wanted to barf. |
Listened to Dan Patrick today on the radio.....they got the TV guy to call in...."doesn't have a clue" that he did anything wrong... 
His next call was to his (former) employer....
