I haven't seen where anyone wants a spectacle made of this. Sam is the only one that created the spectacle. There is a difference with "setting tone" and "proving a point" with the team versus making a public display of him. I think we agree, but where we disagree is that fans want this kid beat up more than he already has. We don't.
My previous post goes with the "resign or be fired" idea of letting him save some face and get help. Possibly allowing him to play ball elsewhere after getting his house in order. That has nothing to do with AG or anyone else publicly embarrassing him any further. He did that himself. It is now time to set the tone with the team. It isn't going to be 100% private, as we all will know the final outcome.
No one in a position of authority over Sam's future should make a public mockery with him. That is below UD and professional conduct. Firm decisions can definitely be displayed, as the shareholders of UD expect UD to take a firm stance on things that hurt the reputation of the university and the program.
