Three West Virginia players -- two of them potential starters next fall -- were dismissed from the football team yesterday for violating team rules after they were charged with felony possession of marijuana with the intent to deliver. Penn Hills junior reserve running back Ed Collington, along with junior backup linebacker John Holmes, who played in all 13 games this past season, and sophomore backup defensive end James Ingram, a regular whose season was shortened by an injury, were arrested Tuesday in Morgantown, W.Va.

Imagine if Stewart was the WVU head coach with the likes of Pac-Man and Chris Henry types still in the program?

I actually expected him to be a "yes" guy. Guess he's a "you screw up, you're off the team" guy instead.

Why Ryanmal ? Those are the type he will bring to Michigan. His potheads gang bangers his drug dealers. The potheads where their when he was the head coach right? right. Now the new coach found out about them and kicked them off the team.

Kudos to the guy. The former coach would have swept it under the rug.
