Pitt player accused of assault, kicked off team | College Football

Pitt Player was accused of misdemeanor charge of simple assault, never Arrested. But he was Kicked off the team just because of an accusation.

Three Pittsburgh football players charged with assault

This case has Actual Witnesses. But this is what Pitt is saying.
""We take matters of player discipline very seriously and will continue to cooperate with any investigation," said the statement. "However, we will not, and hope others will not, rush to judgment on these misdemeanor allegations. All three players will remain active members of our program while we gain more clarity on this situation.""

You decide...

Pitt has had 6 head coaches in the last 2 years.

Perhaps the first player was on a last chance sort of deal?

Pitt is a fucked up program. Let's cut wm some slack.

Didn't read the articles...so I might be missing something here. But the one kid that did get the boot could have already been on a short leash for other problems that may not have been known by the media. It could have been a "one more strike and you're out" scenario. Never know.

Let Assume, you are right. Shouldnt they at least provide us with the information on the previous incidents? Should they also show that these other guys had No Incidents?

Not necessarily. If they aren't legal problems (which are public record) then it's really no ones business what got them in the dog house to begin with. That is between the coaches and the student athlete. It's not my business if the kid was not showing up to classes, or mouthing off at the coaching staff.
