SUSPENSIONS

A word no one wants to hear just 4 days before the season opener. The Arizona Republic claims that 5-6 players will be suspended for the opener against Idaho State, and Burfict is likely to be sitting out while waiting for clearance from the NCAA. This seems like it has the potential to be a major blow to our team on Saturday, however I think we will still prevail. Erickson is setting the precedent to the rest of the team that if you break a rule, he'll discipline you.

Burfict will get clearance to play at some point correct?

It is unknown...

He was cleared to take classes at ASU by ASU, however it is totally up to the NCAA Clearinghouse now on whether or not he will be allowed to play/stay at ASU. It seems unfair to let it go this long as week 2 of classes has begun. If he were not to be cleared, this prolonged situation would have been a lot of wasted effort in classes for Vontaze.
