Northwestern State University announced today, October 26, that it has canceled the remainder of the 2023 football season due to the recent passing of junior safety, Ronnie Caldwell. The school cites the mental health and well-being of its student-athletes as the primary reason for its decision.

I’m sure he would want to be honored by cancelling the rest of the season. Yeah.

I don't agree with the decision. I have lost loved ones in very tragic situations and still grieve some 15 years later, but life does go on. Would rather have seen the team honor him by finishing out the season. Just my $0.02.

Sad story, but why was some dude in college rooming with a 27 year old?

Btw the player was shot and killed, possibly by his roommate.

Yeah wtf is McNeese going to do now? On a side note, that should count as their first win of the season, right?

Speaking of Mcneese… how did they manage to blow that game last weekend against incarnate word? Did anybody watch?

McNeese doesn’t need a “Homecoming” to party.

On the surface, the coach’s reason for resigning doesn’t fly. While I understand being upset over the shooting death of a player, that alone is no reason to resign.

I’ll be very surprised if more information that in some way implicates the coach doesn’t come out in the next few days.

Who may have had several attempted murder charges before this incident as well…

Blueboxer sounds like some facebook bitch with that post. Then if news comes out, he/she will post that they knew about it all along.
