Uh...it's never a good thing to have a significant drug bust on your campus. It's worse when not only students, but athletes are involved.
That being said, 17 students, 4 of whom play or we should say "Played" on the football team were arrested early Wednesday morning on and around the Fort Worth, Texas campus of Texas Christian University.
According to the report on Dallas TV station KXAS, the drugs in question were marijuana, cocaine, powdered and pill ecstasy, Xanax, Hydrocodone and other pain drugs.
The 4 football players include DT David Yendrey, DB Devin Johnson, LB Tanner Wilson Brock and OT Ty Horn.
TCU Football coach Gary Patterson was not pleased, saying "There are days people want to be a head football coach, but today is not one of those days. As I heard the news this morning, I was first shocked, then hurt and now I'm mad"
The school also released a letter to students and others from Chancellor Victor Boschini. You can read the entire letter RIGHT HERE

Uh...this is not good. We aren't going to dwell on the students here since we are a blog primarily about sports.
So we'll mention this.
The football players, they are in serious trouble. Considering what their coach had to say, it would be tough for them to "reappear" on the team, never mind the campus. But, they haven't been proven guilty yet, so we won't say anything in absolutes.
Here's a statement/Presser with TCU's police chief Steve McGee:
