((HT: ESPN))
Pedro Gomez has been hip-deep in the shenanigans going on at Grambling these days...
The university president has finally given a sit-down and you tell me how this sounds...
Grambling had to forfeit the game with Jackson State when only 22 players showed up on the bus that was heading to play the game Saturday. The school had to pay a $20,000 fine for the "no contest" and practice should be an adventure this week if players want to still sit out.
President Pogue sent a letter of apology to JSU:
“It was with deep regret that I called Dr. Meyers and told her what had happened,” Pogue said. “We have had our financial challenges this year, and unfortunately too many of our players don’t understand the degree of our fiscal challenges. We are sorry.”
“We share many of the frustrations of our players and we continue to work to balance those concerns with the financial restraints that have been placed on our institution by the state. However, though recent events have resulted in an unfortunate homecoming gap in the always exciting JSU homecoming weekend of activities, we ask that JSU alumni and fans respect the right of our football players to freely express their concerns as we do.”
But there aren't a whole lot of people who are talking about it these days in town and those who do aren't giving any names...
