Sean Stanley and Derrick Thomas both missed out on the plane ride to Iowa and for the most part it went by quickly without much fuss. Now that we've all had time to settle down after the game more information is beggining to come out about the reasoning behind their missed flight. For the most part it was assumed to be an issue with grades, or a missed practice, something on the lower end of the serious scale. That may not be the case though. Joe had this to say when asked about their situation.

I’m telling you, we were told that we’re breaking the law if we talk about it. If any kid is in any way not allowed to play for one reason or another, we have a long letter from the university administration not to discuss it.

So whatever is going it looks like Derrick Thomas, and Sean Stanley may have a long road ahead of them if they want to see the field. That's if they're lucky.
