N.C. State coach Dave Doeren dismissed the relevance of five Wolfpack football players being involved in sexual assault investigation after a brief media availability on Wednesday.
“The game’s in 10 days, by the way, those were five guys that aren’t playing,” Doeren said as he walked away from the media outside the N.C. State practice facility.
Doeren answered three questions tangentially related to the disciplinary action of five freshmen players, which had been announced by the school on Tuesday.
Two players — receiver Antoine Thompson and defensive end Kevince Brown — were dismissed from the team for their role in an on-campus party on July 21 that police say involved underage drinking and marijuana.
