Suspended him for 4 days and kicked him off the team. They'll be back-pedalling and apologizing soon.
If a student feels like the classroom is the place where he can be truthful and express himself, do we really want to crush that? Why would he ever care about his education again?
Perhaps the coach needs to have a conversation with him, but kicking him off the team and especially suspending him for an assignment where he expressed himself truthfully (I guess he should have lied) in what he apparently thought was a safe classroom environment is completely the wrong decision.
I guess the other side of the argument is.... FOOTBALL!!!

He may not have qualified for a scholarship his freshman year, but paid his way and red-shirted that year. Whatever the circumstances, he's been around a while and has had a good career.
If WCU players have to sit a game this year, let it be the DU @ WCU game in January. Let their entire roster play in those early season games they have to play on the road for the $. A win in one of those helps the SoCon's RPI.
