Look at the bright side, at least he didn't stab him

In another awkward story, it shows kids these days do not like competition. Jacksonville University (the running back powerhouse) has come upon hard time in its offensive backfield department, as a second running back was brought up on charges. These charges stem from a competitive atmosphere to get on the field between Rudell Small and Cecil Coltrane. It seems that, out of fear of being dropped on the depth chart Coltrane (great name) planted 20 grams of marijuana in Small's dorm room.
> Coltrane started Jacksonville's first two games while Small was recovering from an ankle injury. In the third game against UNC-Pembroke, Small ran for 112 yards and tied a school record with five touchdowns. Coltrane gained 40 yards. Five days later, Small was arrested.
At a time where there's so many scholarships for so many talented players, some still find that stooping to illegal measures will cover their inadequacies. According to the article, charges against Small have not been dropped, even though he was reinstated to the team, they are still investigating. All that being said, at least Coltrane just put down some wacky tobaccy, as opposed to stabbing him in the leg. It's like saying, you don't have to go home, but you need to get the hell out of here.
