When the witch hunt didn't turn up any sexual assault scandals, my son was used as the scapegoat. My son was tazed and arrested for standing on a lawn. Witnesses there -Football players and residents alike all came forth to to express this fact. Both the NCAA and Administrators acknowledged civil rights were violated in this incident.

My son was held out of 8 games and was forced to pay $2000 to charity for the so called extra home cooked meals. He leaves with a $20K bill for attending on a scholarship. I'm left with several questions including why isn't sitting out 8 games and paying $2000 enough of a penalty? And why is a meal considered an extra benefit when he has $20K in loans to pay back? The scholarships are split, "extra" should mean over and above 100% coverage of room, tuition and board. That doesn't happen at the FCS level because they are NCAA allows the FCS to split the 63 scholarships they receive. My son earned his degree in Communications, but walk through Adams Hall and you will see no trace of him in the 2 NCAA Championship Appearances, the NCAA Semi-Final Appearance and 3 Big Sky Championships that he was a part of . He gave his blood, sweat and tears and was proud to wear the Grizzly uniform. When he was held out he did everything he could to support the team. The price he paid was enough of a penalty. The scholarships, Big Sky Championship and National Semi-Final Appearance all need to be reinstated.
