i was just using the 5 day suspension as an example. a 1 day could be applied. i mean, if one of 6 tests in a semester was admitted on that day and went down as a zero that could be serious. and you are right, a lot of colleges look more at GPA, but there are still private colleges that will not admit you if there is an F anywhere on your transcript. i realize the chance of everything falling into place like this and a one day suspension really hurting a kid's chances are slim but it could happen. and i dont think its fair for a kid to be punished in the way of college scholarships/entrance for one mistake he made say his sophomore year.
as far as the infractions mentioned above i think you are very wrong that coaches would be terminated. plenty of coaches have used and will continue to use the F-bomb and other profanity and keep their jobs.
