Sounds like a bad sports movie...Rudy Johnson, Winston-Salem State University’s starting quarterback, was beaten up by five Virginia State football players during the CIAA football banquet Friday afternoon, according to multiple sources.
WSSU should be in the DII playoffs. Was he not going to be able to play in the playoffs.firemoose wrote:Former App John Rizor is finishing out his college career at WSSU this year.

VB was free admission, so that would have become an easy place to get a crowd for anyone wanting trouble just to make trouble. And I thing VaSt and WSSU were also playing each other in VB. But go on without specators.bcoach wrote:They also cancelled the VB championship so they must expect more trouble.

I don't know how you could handle the FB game in a fair manner without making the VaSt starting QB sit so what the CIAA did makes sense and is to be expected. And at that point it is not about fairness, but doing what is right. I hope VaSt is charged with a forfeit, so on paper many years from now, the records show WSSU with a championship. I doubt their are many rules set up for situations like this. The VB should have gone ahead and just been held without spectators. VB is not a contact sport, unless one side rushes the other side. I feel bad for the women's side being punished over the acts of a very few. And with free admission to the VB it is not like the CIAA is losing money from banning spectators.
I think the entire VB weekend was cancelled as well.bcoach wrote:I meant to say their game not the championshipMcLeansvilleAppFan wrote:VB was free admission, so that would have become an easy place to get a crowd for anyone wanting trouble just to make trouble.

Good. I wish the Rams well and hope they get to play in the playoffs.AppRy wrote:@johndellWSJ: Va. State ruled ineligible for D-II playoffs by the CIAA and it's board of directors (college presidents and chancellors).
