Sorry, at a wedding all day - thankfully they scheduled for today and not tomorrow.
As far as the late hit (assault) in the LSU-UW game, as a physician who both provides care to athletes including NCAAF players who have suffered concussions and who has done research on concussions, I have to say if the NCAA is really serious about protecting players Boutte would be suspended for the year. It appears that the Wisconsin player is okay - thank God and pure plain luck.
Even if he thought the play was live (which I doubt from watching the replay multiple times), he should be suspended. Obviously went high and first contact was to head. Sorry, it is clear there was intent where to hit him and that the goal was to inflict injury. Most good tacklers (ok I know he is OL) don't head hunt.
Les Miles is an embarrassment to football. If the SEC suspends him for JU only they should in some way be sanctioned by the NCAA - I know there is not a way to do that but at some point all of the clowns leading these organizations will put an end to this game. It took Teddy Roosevelt to save college football from being closed down about a hundred years ago. Neither major party candidate has the integrity or credibility to be such a leader today.
As someone who played the game (not at this level), I hope someone within the game at some point has the integrity and credibility to step up and put the good of the players and the game at the forefront and act responsibly.
Suspend him for the year - it will clean up the game. Miles should be suspended as well - 3 games with no contact with his team. Oh, do you think that would have coaches emphasizing that this type of behavior won't be tolerated.
Remember the original Mad Hatter had mercury poisoning - Les has no such excuse for being such an embarrassment.
