Florida DE Carlos Dunlap, who is considered to be one of the top players at his position in the entire country, has been reinstated to the football team. The Gators star was arrested just days before the SEC Championship game against Alabama for driving while intoxicated. Florida will battle undefeated Cincinnati in the Sugar Bowl.
The Longhorns will have a National Champikonship on the line, and they don't want to take their chances without kick returner D.J. Monroe. Monroe returned a pair of kicks for touchdowns this season, and like Dunlap, also was charged with a DUI. Give Mack Brown a little bit of credit for punishing Monroe a multiple-game suspension (three games to be exact). But, doesn't the timing of all of this seem a bit odd?Florida is winning. A lot. That's the reason why no one has said much about the now 26 Gators' players to be arrested during Urban Meyer's five-year tenure, or the fact that Meyer is about as strict as at dealing out punishments as a kindergarten teacher. For a DUI and trying to gouge an opponent's eye out, Dunlap and teammate Brandon Spikes were suspended for a combined 1 1/2 games.
What a joke.
College coaches are supposed to be the molders of young men. Yet all they learn from these slaps-on-the-wrist is that the star players will play - no matter what.
I just became a really big Cincinnati fan.
