Tigermike 3,054 Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 If players get in a fight during a football game they are suspended for the next game aren't they? That is still the rule isn't it? South Carolina and Clemson are both 6-5 and bowl eligible. Will the players be eligible to play? Could both teams be declared ineligible for a bowl because they don't have enough players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streyeder 0 Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I'm not sure on the answer. However, if I were either coach I would pull my team from bowl consideration. I'd probably kick some off too, period. We don't need this crap ruining college football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't punish the whole team, the fans and the University for what some of the team did. Bench those players and get on with the bowl games. Bowl games bring in too much money, are a reward for the players and fans, and are HUGE for recruiting...you can't just stay home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The benches for BOTH teams emptied. They were almost all involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if they don't have enough players to field a team, it would appear that neither team will go bowling. But I would guess that both schools would try to avoid the suspensions. Last night I was watching the South Carolina replay and they showed the play when the fight started and at that particular point, the Clemson player started the fight. BUT we don't know what led up to that particular incident. The SEC commissioner will have an announcement tomorrow, as per Sonny & Whimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
