I hate that it's come to this. Examining a shootaround photo like it's the Zapruder film.

Bottom line: Looking through it, it appears that the players in question are not there.

Not sure, but I'm assuming if they were cleared SLU would want to get it out ASAP. 

why?  as far as i remember SLU has never said any particular players are suspended or involved in anything.   by conjecture we have assumed certain players are but nothing has ever been released specifically about any player(s).  i suspect if they are allowed to start playing it will be with no comments whatsoever.

Why?  It seems there would be an advantage in not saying anything so V Tech can’t prepare for them being in the lineup. 

With that said, I don’t think they are playing tonight.

No way, the press would have a field day with that. At the minimum SLU has to put out a press release exonerating the players if that is the case.  My damn complaint is why SLU is taking the full 60 days allowed for the investigation.  It has been over 50 days since the letter was released regarding the matter by SLU's President.  Why drag this to the last day?

One theory I've heard is that using the full amount of time for the investigation allows the university to save some face if the investigation results in no suspensions or expulsions. They can say that the players missed out on a few games, a trip to play in New York, etc.

What would VT do differently at this point to prepare for two guys who haven't played all year and never have played in a real game with this team (as currently configured)?

Freak out and forfeit? Would I still win my bet of Bills +13.5 if that happened?

The press has already had a field day.  I am not sure if SLU will put out much of a press release either way.  If they are cleared then all they have to say is the issue has been resolved.  The players have been cleared to play.  If they are not cleared all SLU has to do is say the matter has been concluded and appropriate action has been taken.  Is the best way to handle it - who knows this has been a very unfortunate issue from the get go.
