Another admirable display of the NCAA's sound judgment

NCAA suspends the Ferris State head coach for one game after some players smoked cigars in the locker room following their second consecutive D-II title.

The kicker? It's not that the NCAA bans tobacco use (Joe Burrow lit up a cigar after LSU's title game). It's that the Texas high school stadium in which the D-II game was held has a no-tobacco policy. So basically the NCAA is enforcing a local high school district's rule.

I get that the NCAA teams were essentially guests in this stadium, but a nominal fine would've gotten the message across.




Not just one game...one PLAYOFF game.

Ferris deserves some punishment because it sounds like they were warned last year and did it again. That's on the coach but to sit him for a playoff game??? That's really harsh.
