The blame should not be on USF for any of this. He screwed up! He should pay the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can tell him, Brian, you should pay your child support, but i don't see that as being effective. Do you think he has 17k in his wallet to pay this? Either way, he was likely gonna be arrested. This type of problem needs to be addressed by being responsible up front, not hand holding later. Unless something major happens, i don't think we'll see Fisher playing this year, and probably won't see him play anymore as a bull, unfortunately.

The football coaches, etc. should be there to advise but they probably didn't know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was an interesting headline to wake up to! :-/ But, for the football aspect, if we loose him for a long amount of time (as we probably will) I don't think it will hurt us as much as what it would have this past year. We're probably going to run the ball more this year anyway, but I think our recieving core will be better this year with Bain maybe being a leader stepping up, Green and then Peyton. It still hurts though. How do you let child support payments go to 17 grand!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
