Charleston Southern and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week

[ST_Lawson]

So....Charleston Southern, the (at the time) #4 team when they took on #1 NDSU during the ESPN FCS Kickoff Game two weeks ago (and took the Bison to overtime before losing) has had just about the worst week a college football team can have (outside of a Marshall or Wichita State-type situation).

First...their head coach and an assistant coach were suspended for a game due to a recruiting violation:

Then, in their game last weekend against Kentucky State, first their starting QB suffered a season-ending knee injury: http://www.foxsports.com/college-footba ... ury-090316
And then later in the game, their #2 QB also suffered an injury. They'll be starting their #3 QB this weekend against Florida State.

And if that wasn't bad enough...the NCAA is coming down hard on the team for issues with "improper use of book money", which apparently resulted from their college bookstore staff not informing the football players correctly on the use of extra funds on their book $ vouchers. Not really the football players faults...bookstore personnel maybe...CSU athletics compliance officer, sure...but really? This has resulted in their entire starting offensive line and possibly up to 40 other players being suspended for the weekend's game against FSU.

The only "good" news out of all of this is that:
1. The vast majority of suspensions were/are against either a DII team (that they were highly likely to win anyway) or against Florida State (who they were not going to beat anyway)
2. Outside of CSU, their conference isn't very strong. They've got a couple of games that could be close, but for the most part, as long as they get most of their players back, they should chew through their conference pretty easily and win the conference's auto bid and still get into the playoffs.

But seriously...what's next? A freak hurricane blows in and knocks down their stadium while they're all down in Tallahassee this weekend?
