This offseason has been chock full of bad news and the hits kept coming today. Demetrius Cooper, a rising senior and presumed starter at defensive end, may have violated his plea deal.
Cooper, who was charged with assault last November after spitting in the face of a PACE officer, is accused of consuming alcohol on or around April 21st, thus violating the terms of the plea deal that stemmed from the November incident.
Will this result in his removal from the program? Who knows. His charge is not nearly as serious as the one Auston Robertson was kicked off the team for, nor does it approach what three still-unnamed Spartan football players and staffer Curtis Blackwell face, but it is still an incredibly stupid transgression on a number of levels.
