Great to see accountability alive and well and dealt with swiftly. I hope the team listened during your meeting. I'm a proud USF Alumni! Go Bulls! "When you look at this university and how great an institution it is, and the football program, it is a privilege to represent this program," Strong said. "And there are standards and there are values that we uphold, and our players understand it is an obligation and it is a responsibility to represent it the right way."

I don't see this decision as a big deal. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see this decision as a big deal. Except that it was swift and decisive, but I agree Childs was not much of a test. I feel that CCS, like I felt about xCWT, would have cut Marlon Mack if he screwed up for much less than this, though. I applaud both coaches for setting clear expectations early, and being careful to hold accountability in these kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if it would have happened at UCF would folks have been as forgiving or logical minded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see this decision as a big deal. If Urban Meyer was the coach, Childs would be a team captain in 2017. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
