My buddy is a D1 official and isn't afraid to whack someone - they actually stick kids pretty quickly IMO. That being said, the footage on TV actually looked like everything was justified.

Here's the problem - OJ, by WVSSAC rule, has to sit out 10% of their games - or 2 games. Their next game is against Artesia, CA - the former #2 team in the country. The game is on ESPN and is being played at Duke. So this will be interesting. Stay tuned if this interests you.

The real question that should be asked is how O.J. Mayo was ruled eligible by the WVSSAC, when the OhioHSAA had ruled him ineligible for H.S. sports because he had already attended H.S. in Ohio for four (4) years (eight (8) semesters).
