Miami Joins Civilized World: “No Guns for Us! And we Mean it!”
The Biscuit
New “The U” head coach Randy Shannon means business. No longer will the days of Donna Shanananana and her unruly Thieves run amok in the hallowed halls slums of the big U. He is bringing down discipline, and he is serious.
“Zero tolerance,” Shannon told reporters Monday, as spring practice started for the Hurricanes. “You get caught with a firearm, you get dismissed from the university.”
WHAT? You mean, a Miami player can’t bring his gat out to the club? He can’t be strapped while going to Basket-weaving 101? That is preposterous!
Seriously though, it’s INSANE that this is a NEW THING for a high profile, D-1 football program. I am happy that Mr. Shannon is taking some steps, and this one is a no brainer. But why in the WORLD is this a new policy? Can anyone even imagine a kid packing his Glock on his way to Calc II at ND? Ummmm, no. And you shouldn’t envision that at any institution of higher learning.
Well, maybe that’s the rub. Do people learn at Miami? For Randy’s sake, I sure hope they do.
Good for you Randy. But I would suggest you add Kevlar to your wardrobe the week after you dismiss your first gang-banger for bringing his Sawed Off Shotgun/RPG Launcher/Sniper Rifle to practice.

he also imposed that freshman and sophmores must live on campus and anyone that does not sustain a 2.4 gpa, moves back to campus.
and why is there a change in policy to not conceal a weapon? the dems hit shannon hard about the players “right to bear arms”. his response was, “they do have the right, but not on my team”.
Right to bear arms my ass. Good for Shannon, now let’s see if he really enforces it.
It’s a different world down there. If he does clean up the program I’ll give him a lot of credit.
