Texas Tech Head Coach Matt Wells Suspends 4 Players: ‘We’re Not Going to Lower the Standard’
Texas Tech's new head coach isn't messing around. This week, Matt Wells suspended four football players "indefinitely."
Wells suspended Damarcus Fields, Joe Wallace, Da'Leon Ward and Corey Fulcher "for some internal reasons we're gonna get straight."
The new head football coach was noncommittal on the players' return. "They could be back soon. They could be back in a while or could never be back," Wells said. "We'll see."
According to Lubbock sports reporter Don Williams, the suspensions have nothing to do with spring break.
In a series of tweets, Williams shared the answers he received from Wells about the suspensions and what to them during a recent press availability.
