I don't know that petty dumbassery, even repeated petty dumbassery, warrants more than a brief suspension, and definitely not worth anything drastic like ending someone's season over.

I would agree with you if it was one incident and maybe even two incidents but this is a disturbing pattern of behavior. At a minimum the suspensions should have been progressively longer with each incident.

Bikechuck----I'm guessing the one game + the 3 minutes and 40 odd seconds qualifies as "progressively longer" in this case.

"Failing to enforce a reasonable standard of behavior can lead to rot"

Losing to MAC teams with 0-10 records causes rot.

"NIU had been humiliated 6 straight years on a national level in football "

Yeah, winning the MAC is completely humiliating. Hopefully NIU loses more MAC games to spare themselves that humiliation.

Thanks for the unwitting comedy routine.
