Florida State is definitely coddling the kid. If he's suspended, he shouldn't have even been at the stadium, nevermind the sideline.
I think he's a immature kid whose never had anyone say "No" to him throughout his life. His football talent is pretty extraordinary and he seems to be the one controlling Florida State and not the other way around.
As for the suspension, it was a pretty ridiculous thing to say but, not something totally unexpected from someone his age. Just immaturity more than anything. 20 years ago, he's not getting suspending for that. But, in today's 24/7 faux outrage society, he is.
Btw, Clemson lost that game last night. Florida State didn't win it. That was just an absolute chokejob by the Tigers.
