Respect for GDF and LeGrande has a run in with the Law

It's been confirmed that the Dominick LeGrande arrested for DUI is in fact the Dominick LeGrande who goes to BC. There hasn't been any news as to what BC will do. BC tends to be fairly strict (relative to say Tennessee or Florida State). While this is relatively minor compared to things like FSU I still think you'll see a strong stance from the school because they have a couple options. I personally feel like the best course of action would be to serve LeGrande with a full year suspension but let him practice. It'll be a good PR move, serves as a serious example to players, and ends any ideas LeGrande might have had about leaving after three years. Yet on the football side LeGrande could serve the suspension without losing any eligibility (he didn't redshirt) and probably wouldn't see much playing time anyways (Herzlich and Kuechly have the OLB spots locked up).

In other news the big story yesterday was Lane Kiffin peacing from Rocky Top after one year. This is exactly why I was completely behind DeFillipo when he canned Jags. The fact is that a culture has developed around college football where the coach has become more important than the program. This culture translates to coaches ducking contracts and ruining programs. because of GDF I don't think we'll ever have a Lane Kiffin situation at BC again. Now if we can just get more ADs to man up then CFB might be able to get its act together.
