Casto Suspended For NIT Game

In the "What are these knotheads thinking" department, WSU's Cougars announced moments ago that DeAngelo Casto has been suspended for tomorrow's NIT game for "violation of team rules." WSU will be playing its biggest game in years at 8 p.m. Wednesday against Northwestern with a bid to the NIT final four on the line. And Casto suffers a brain cramp that's big enough to get him booted for the game. As you recall, star forward Klay Thompson was arrested on a drug charge March 3 hours after the Cougars had beat USC to keep them in contention for an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.

Question: Sometimes I wonder if I should waste my time following college athletes who are this stupid. What do you think?
