No offense to Duke Football but I know high school teams that could beat them. If you really wanted to make the Miami players pay for what they did you should suspend them for the entire season and have them write an essay in class with someone from the NCAA present that is graded saying why they did what they did. If they can’t write the essay then they can’t play next season. I think this school needs too look at itself and say do we want to go down this road. Because I think if you can’t be a normal human being then you shouldn’t be playing sports at all. The worst is that this is a non-conference game so there should be no bad blood between these 2 schools and there is no reason to play one another. What do you think should be done?

Funny? No. Pathetic. They should be thrown out of school and prosecuted.

(see Albert Haynesworth) This should not be an issue of players being suspended for X amount of games but it should be an issue of men (supposedly) being arrested for assault.
While this has been taking place for WAAAAAAAY too long, when did the diamond, field, court, rink, pitch, etc. become a place where there is no legal authority or precedent?
As in the Haynesworth story, he viciously attacked a defenseless person that had nothing to do with the game of football. Could someone please explain how that is not assault? I realize the Cowboy (Gurode) didn't want to press charges because that would somehow make him look like the bad guy, but that was assault caught on national television.
The Pistons/Pacers brawl from a couple years ago had charges of assault, disorderly conduct, etc. brought upon the players and "fans" because the judicial system realized they could not allow this sort of interaction take place between the fans and players. However, as long as it is between separate teams it is justified?!?
The attacks by the players who were using their helmets as weapons, attempting some sort of martial arts kicks, or doing what Haynesworth just did a couple weeks ago should have their scholarships revoked and at the minimum be sentenced to 100+ hours of community service.
I have been a die hard sports fan for as long as I can remember but the garbage we have seen over the past 3 or 4 years is a disgrace to these wonderful games.

I am a loyal Canes fan and am absolutely embarassed about what happened on Saturday. I only saw the replay on espn so I am not sure what even provoked the fight. I'm thinking Miami is very frustrated about their season so far and maybe something that UIF did set them off. I agree with you, the players should be suspended for more than one game, I would say at least 2 or 3 to get the message across that this type of behavior is not tolerated. I'm also thinking if the university wasn't already thinking of firing Coker at the end of the season, this probably put the nail in his coffin.

I'm not surprised at all. For a good read, check out the Sports Illustrated cover article from the mid '90s that advises Miami to cut its football program.

Being a Georgia Tech alumnus/fan, I hope that the Canes suspend some players the week after they play the weak Duke team...

Technically, the NCAA has suspended those players for one game. Miami says the players are currently suspended indefinitely. I would imagine that they will end up being out for more than one game.

While I don't condone doing what they did, football is a violent sport with tons of testosterone running wild. They are just dumb kids and society is to blame in some of that.

They figure Coker can beat Duke by with his 3rd string thugs.
