Come on man, there was one incident when Phillips was in college where he was arrested for assaulting his girlfriend and was subsequently suspended, maybe that particular punishment wasn't sever enough and they should have kicked him off the team, but with that exception, nebraska has always been tough on players when it comes to discipline, look up Quentin Castille, who Pelini himself kicked off the team for these types of shenanigans or Terrell Farley, whom was removed from the team in 96 (if I remember correctly) for drunk driving arrests..I get what you're saying about Phillips but I think you're way off base with your assumption that Nebraska football will do anything to win, even at the expense of the young men that play on the team.
