What I heard is...players had a "get together" that probably broke Covid protocol, but Cuse cops came by and told them everything was ok. So they kept having the get together, assuming it was fine. Later I guess the school caught wind of it and sought suspensions of those involved. Players didn't have much of a defense until the cops' bodycam footage surfaced which backed up their claim that the cops said it was fine. I'm sure that is an incomplete picture of what actually happened but I was told that was the main storyline.

The proposed punishment was ridiculously harsh but at the end of the day, they got EXTREMELY lucky. They should not have been doing what they were doing, they put the entire team at risk (not only of getting Covid, but of ruining the season). In some programs, there would probably be internal suspensions to get the point across, but my guess is Desko does not go down that path.

That's the good news. All the players will be on the field for the Orange in 2021.

The bad news is there aren't any excuses if this team doesn't at least make the Final Four.  ;)

The other bad news is I'm hearing TD Ierlan has no interest in joining the Orange, even in light of this positive development.
