Our players got off real easy, maybe to easy.

The following statement was issued by Eastern Kentucky University Director of Athletics Steve Lochmueller shortly after 2 p.m. today (Thursday, April 16):

“The legal process has run its course and the Eastern Kentucky University Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities is following its prescribed procedure in dealing with the events involving our student-athletes on January 25, 2015. We hold all of our EKU students to very high standards and those who violate these codes of conduct are held accountable.

"Given the actions of these student-athletes, these players have been suspended from the EKU Football roster. Their future at the University will be determined pending the decision by personnel within our Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities. This type of behavior will not be tolerated.

From this point forward, this is an internal student judicial issue and the University plans to make no further comment. “

I disagree with the above poster.

1. The videos clearly show that the EKU students were the aggressors.

2. The videos went viral all across the nation. Had the sucker punch not gone viral, EKU would have done nothing. Nothing!

3. We do not know what kind of punishment the UK coaching staff gave the players. I don't know how anyone can say they got off easy? Also, if anyone thinks they need to be suspended, they need to wake up.

None of the players should have been in a bar and that alone is a team violation that should mean suspensions!

I don't have a rule book in front of me, I wasn't aware that the rules of suspension were spelled out in black and white like that for the football players. Shame on the UK football administration for not suspending players and kicking them off the team! Shame, shame, shame.

Too bad Joker isn't still in charge of the program. He might not have been able to bring in high ranked players while he was head coach or have very high morals for himself in his own personal life, but he sure knew how to suspend players and kick them off the team. I seem to have a fuzzy memory. How many games did he win in his last season and how many fans showed up for his last home game? Who cares about that? The man knew how to suspend players and kick them off the team. That is what is most important.
