Texas Tech University has suspended indefinitely Head Football Coach Mike Leach and will miss the Alamo Bowl where the Red Raiders will take on Michigan St.
The suspension comes amidst allegations of mistreatment of Texas Tech player Adam James, the son of former SMU star and current ESPN analyst Craig James. According to the James Family, Adam James was placed in an "electrical closet" for three hours for missing practice due to a concussion sustained during a mid-December practice. Simply put, if any of these allegations are true, then what Leach did was disgusting and he should be immediately fired. As we have heard in the past few months, concussions are no "little oueys".
NCAA div. 1 Football is a tough sport, but the mistreatment and humiliation of players is not only unnecessary but reprehensible. Could it be just sour grapes on the part of Adam James, perhaps wanting to get back at Leach for not getting much playing time? That would be equally disgusting on the young man's part. None of us really know until the facts come out, but Coach Leach has been know to do wacky things, and as the saying goes; "where there is smoke, there's fire". Your comments please.
