Texas A&M football came under the microscope last week when former linebacker Santino Marchiol accused Jimbo Fisher and his staff of forking over cash to entertain recruits on unofficial visits, forcing players to come in early for workouts and film sessions and disguising it as study time, and mishandling Marchiol’s ankle injury and making him run 24 100-yard sprints on it, among other things in a report by USA Today’s Dan Wolken.
The over-arching reasons Marchiol gave was the staff believed the team was soft, and often verbally reminded them of that fact.
These allegations should be taken seriously by all parties involved.
