Empty Suspensions

I don't get this.

LSU quarterback Ryan Perrilloux will not be allowed to play in the Tigers' spring game on Saturday, but he's been cleared by coach Les Miles to return to the team in full on Sunday.

What does that really prove? You're not really forcing him to miss anything of value. He's been with the team long enough that it's not like he is missing a chance to learn the playbook, or not going to be one of the best players on the team next year. You've basically just given him a "Get out of Practice" free card without inflicting any real punishment.

The only way to really get anything across, I imagine, is to take away playing time in real games, not practice.

And this is his third offense. Maybe Miles is taking the approach of the Bengals. You got two more, Perriloux!
