From what I can tell, Kevin, Tech fans are shocked. Cooper was suspended earlier this year after walking out on the team during the fourth quarter after an argument with coaches.

But there hadn't been any more public problems. From what I can tell, none of the Tech fans know the real story behind this. It's been a disaster of a season so far for the Bulldogs.
