Wow, the backlash at Prohm in this thread is excessive. Lard and Talley were the ones that made the bad decisions, but now this is Prohm's fault being too harsh with his punishments? I'm gonna trust coach on this one, and have faith that this will pay off in the long run for the rest of the non-con and Big XII play.
With as dirty as CBB is these days, this approach to me is refreshing. Shows that no player is bigger than the program, and I appreciate that as an ISU alum.

I know he wants to win. But he is willing to lose games in November to teach his players a lesson. I'm just saying that is a terrific mind set at a mid-major but if you finish 9-9 in the Big 12 they will need a win against Mizzou and someone out in Maui. Still like this squad and the depth. Just wish this would have been announced last week rather than after the first game of the season.
Sorry, it's not. Like it or not, he owes the fans at least a bit of an explanation as to why he's keeping a couple of guys on the team but thinks they should be suspended for a quarter of the season.
Lots of rational responses in this thread
Everybody going to Hawaii is probably pretty pissed. I know I am.
And people can finally see one the main reasons Fred actually disliked coaching in college. Yay he didn’t like recruiting but this type of thing was just as big as a factor for him.

Why does it matter when it was announced? Just curious
He clearly is. He just gave away the month of November. Likely longer, considering how long it will take the team to gel now. These “life lessons” are ridiculous. No other major programs do this. If Talley and Lard did something to deserve to miss 25% of the season, we would have read about it in the papers.
This is embarrassing.
How do we know they made bad decisions? What kind of bad decisions were made? He hasn't said anything about why they're suspended.
Suck it up, enjoy your time in Hawaii, and cheer on the Cyclones. There is still plenty of talent on this team. This is far from a disaster. Sheesh.
Bingo. Hoiberg didnt seem to have a problem getting the absolute best out of Jameel. McKay didnt help his situation whatsoever, but at this point where these suspensions are starting to become a regular occurrence under Prohm, it's more than fair to start asking questions about his handling of player discipline. Despite what the "Prohm is god" contingent in here will tell you.
Right we have a dozen other players who live up to expectations and get the privilege to play
It's college sports. No matter how much money universities and the NCAA actually make, it's still amateurism. Players come and go, whether it's suspension, forced out, transfers, or graduation, there's new players every year. You spend the money to support the school.
I could maybe see fans being a little disappointed about spending money to go maui, Maui, and not seeing the team at 100%, but to have regrets is a bit off base.
And FWIW, the posters making the biggest stink about this, are far from the fans that are spending money on this university.
Lol no. Did CMC owe us an explanation on why our starting QB was kicked off the team last year?
If they failed multiple drug tests it would be in the papers?
Yes. A whole 7 games is a lot but it must have been bad.
And you mean expecting McKay to attend practice being a detriment?
I was surprised when we finally got Lard, now I will be surprised if we see him play again
Were you mad at Fred for how he handled things with BDJ?
