Hokies not alone in troubles
Monday was a bad day for some college football players, who had to be glad it was the day Michael Vick announced plans to plead guilty to dogfighting charges. Two West Virginia players were charged with receiving and transferring a stolen computer. USC coach Pete Carroll kicked a wide receiver off his team. Two Iowa players were arrested for unauthorized use of a credit card. It’s easy to criticize a coach like Frank Beamer for recruiting players who run afoul of the law. But don’t just blame Beamer. No coach is immune to troublemakers. It will continue to happen no matter how carefully coaches screen recuits, whether it’s Blacksburg, Boston or Bozeman.
