I don't do football but I do know the Las Vegas high school sports landscape firsthand. I know the athletic directors for both schools and I know some of the players on both teams.
I think that if the team had accepted the suspension and the mother didn't do anything it could have left a bad taste in the recruiter's mouth and she couldn't have that. Would you want to recruit the next problem child into your program? I don't think so. He could be the next "Keyshawn Dillon" with guns and bombs in his dorm room with a porno buisiness on the side. I just threw that in for humor but we cannot assume these kids will follow the straight and narrow anymore. She threatened he played and now it could "appear" that he wasn't wrong afterall. See how that could be a difference?
I lived there and I'm familiar with both schools so as far as the "Hug" I say Bull&*(*! I have done many games in Vegas and something is said or done between players that I have to nip in the bud. They always say "but that's my boy", "we know each other" or "he's my cousin." Without taking care of this then things can get out of hand. When I first read the post I wasn't surprised by the fight. I thought I had missed something from the preseason because I know this didn't happen last year.
I have much more I could say but I will stop here. Don't be surprised about what happens in Las Vegas.
