Naval Academy torpedoes star back

The service academies clearly play by a different set of standards when it comes to player discipline. Navy’s head coach Ken Niumatalolo dismissed slotback Marcus Curry from the team for violation of team rules. Though Niumatalolo didn’t provide exact details of Curry’s dismissal, his dismissal was linked to his poor academic history, demerits, and most recently his drug use. Earlier this year, Curry violated the school’s drug policy when he tested positive for a controlled substance. Though the official...
