On a day when UK football coach Rich Brooks is supposed to be excited about the start of fall practice he delivers the shocking news that quarterback Curtis Pulley has been kicked off the team for violating team rules. After being arrested twice over a two month period (once for marijuana possession, the second for speeding and driving on a suspended license) Pulley deserved to be punished. But kicking him off the team? That's an extreme step but one Brooks obviously felt he needed to make.

At Tuesday's media day Brooks said when he delved into the situation a little closer dismissing Pulley was the right move. I'm not going to argue with Coach on this one. He's closer to the situation than I am, and he has all the facts. What we do know is he felt Pulley would be a detriment to the team. Anytime that's the case, a player has to go. Brooks can't have any bad seeds poisoning his locker room. Pulley has been given multiple opportunities to get serious about football and academics. He hasn't taken advantage. What more can Brooks do?

Let me know what you think.
