More info on Disciplinary Issue

A couple of updates from the media on the disciplinary issue.  First, Jordan Strack indicates that the issue extends well beyond the 4 players suspended.  As noted. Strack is reporting that the issue was failing a drug test.

Multiple sources tell me as many as 16 BGSU football players have been disciplined for a failed drug test. Some are facing suspensions. The University won’t confirm the reason for the discipline or players names.

As luck would have it, Coach had his presser today, too.  The official version BGSU put on Youtube doesn't include the widely reported quote from below.

Which is all well and good.  I'm concerned about the secrecy we are operating under with our football program....we have been untransparent about COVID and now this.  Not that full details are necessary or ever given out, but someone would have noticed something when four guys didn't play Saturday.  And, as Loeffler is learning, it is very hard to keep a secret today and it might be more trouble than it is worth.

In fact, I see in the Sentinel that the suspensions were widely discussed on social media over the weekend.

The presser was nothing special.  He feels like the offense is making progress and if they can finish drives then BG can start to put some points on the board and be a little more competitive.

Finally, this, from Ol' Frank:

Frank Solich just said the Bobcats SHOULD be able to play Saturday against visiting BG. But..."We're still day by day and the game is NOT tomorrow. At this point and time we're able to play the game."
