One columnist down Ruston way has some qualms

Someone is the media down the Ruston-area way smells hypocrisy in the air:

Tech tosses players out with the trash

While there may have been good reasons for it, Louisiana Tech men's basketball coach Kerry Rupp created a lot of negative vibes for his program on Wednesday when he mysteriously released four players from his program.

The timing of the move is what a lot of people are questioning. Normally, players are reviewed soon after the end of their season, but it appears that Rupp waited until near the end of school to review this group and to tell them their services were no longer needed.

With the spring signing date concluded, this foursome has little chance to move on to another school and continue their free education. Unless a school has an extra scholly lying around and wants them, these guys are screwed. Why you would want to do this to student-athletes who suffered with you through perhaps the most miserable men's basketball season in Tech history doesn't seem to make sense...

Go here for the remainder.
