Late Wednesday Arizona Football sophomore running back Orlando Bradford was booked into Pima County jail on multiple counts of aggravated assault and kidnapping. Just hours earlier, head coach Rich Rodriguez wasted no time handing Bradford his pink slip, essentially ending the young man’s football career.
Common Law in the United States presumes one is innocent until proven guilty, so the evidence against Bradford (was the co-starting running back) must be solid for Rodriguez to act so swiftly. Apparently, Bradford also allegedly admitted he caused the injuries to his girlfriend, which may have been all the coach needed.
