Cal Poly Football Drama You've brought this up before and honestly I don't think it's what is at play here for a couple of reasons. It doesn't explain why other players were cut and if it was really an issue to Baldwin why didn't he dismiss him before the season started.
Unless a statement comes out from the team about rules being broken, then I'm to believe it was based on performance which is very much so not common in the college even if the player no longer meets the scheme. These aren't professionals where getting cut is common.
