Definitely should have. One of the things I hate about Clemson the most is how they let athletes get away with things like this. And I know exactly what happened... as I lived there on the floor over the summer.

But kudos to Dabo for making the decision to let him go. Rules are rules and actions have consequences - at least at Clemson, they do.

but it was time to do this. I was actually surprised he got another chance after the first incident. The fact that here is another so close together seems to indicate some ongoing issues.

Sounds like he has some anger management issues. I wonder

this si the absolute end at Clemson, or could he return if he took an anger management class or had some therapy.

Clemson student government will determine what happens. I am guessing he is already on probation so it will be difficult for them to keep him.

There were questions surrounding the 1st event...enough

for Dabo to question his fault/participation in the matter. This time was cut and dry evidently.
Good move by Dabo. Swift and decisive.

There shouldn't have been. He put himself in the position he was in first time. Honestly having meet the guy, he was quite disrespectful, and I didn't like him at all.

Given his age, I can see the staff giving him a chance to mature. Realistically, these are 17-18 year old kids coming into Clemson and many/most either grow up or fail. I started Clemson as a 17 year old freshman and while I had the intellectual ability to stay, I did not have the maturity. I had to drop out and get a real job for a while before I even started growing up. I didn't make it back to Tigertown until grad school and I came from an upper middle class intact family with two college graduates and a mostly stay at home mom.
I don't know his background, but I'm guessing I had it easier. That gets me past the first incident, but not the second. We can say a prayer and think God for looking out for him in the future. If there's a role for one of us to play in his life, we'll know when the time is right.

chance. It wasn't what I expected from Dabo, but I trusted (and still do trust) his judgement. Looks like Joe has to clamp down on his anger, but he doesn't get to represent Clemson while he does it. I hope whoever filed this complaint is okay.

Orangefan59 I agree with peeing in public. But I do not recall Garcica as some on else posted but if I missed it then yes I do not agree with that at all. Yes Garcia has a drinking problem and I hope he gets help. But there is no comparisson with what Garcia did and what Joe Criag did. I know some USC athletes have gotten in trouble for drinking but if you or any other CU fan thinks that CU athletes y'all have been drinking way to much of the kool aide. I know for fact and have been with CU football players partying CU throws some of the best partys. But really I dont care if it is a USC, CU, Ga, etc if a young man wants to lay his hands on my daughter that there is no where for him to hide I would whip his A%&

Garcia and Craig are two different issues.
One is keying a car, pulling a fire alarm, and breaking curfew...most if not all involving drinking. Stupidity.
The other is beating up a girl...twice. Criminal.
(Yes, Garcia committed crimes, but nothing on the level of Craig's first offense even if you put them all together)
I swear, this board looks delusional sometimes trying to slam its rival. Had someone been on Clemson's team dealing with issues like Garcia did, this board would be talking about how Clemson was "all in" with him and seeking to reform him. And before you say someone like him wouldn't be on Clemson's team, remember...Clemson kept Craig on the team. Yeah, he's gone now, but so is Garcia. Clemson kept McDaniel on the team. Yeah, he's gone now, he graduated.
People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
The problem with Clemson is that it doesn't think it live in a glass house. When those who know are very aware that it does.

Good riddance. There are too many talented kids dying to get a free ride at a division I school who would make the most of the opportunity. This guy crapped all over that.
