Looks like new Colorado State head coach Jim McElwain is getting to hit the ground running when it comes to disciplining his players...
He's sitting three temporarily/indefinitely while an investigation is ongoing involving the assault of other CSU students.
"It's unacceptable to this program and this university," McElwain said on Monday. "We have freedom of choice. We don't have freedom of consequences."
Four freshmen were beaten up over the weekend and have been asked not to identify who the players actually are- but we now know who they are...
Here's the story on the suspension...
McElwain released a statement earlier on Monday:
"At this point, the three players reported to be involved in the incident over the weekend are indefinitely suspended from the football program. That means they are effectively no longer part of this team and will not take part in any football-related activity. We do not condone in any way, shape or form this type of behavior. It is completely unacceptable. I understand people want me to remove them from the team immediately. But until the investigation concludes and due process takes its course, suspending them indefinitely is the strongest action I can take. The vast majority of players in this program are good kids. They work hard and they do the right thing. They understand that this type of behavior will not be tolerated."
Here's the original article from the Fort Collins (CO) Coloradoan newspaper...
Two of the players are still under investigation for a previous stabbing incident from March 17th...
The HQ wonders if this means Double Fulmer Cup points...
