Their administration is being very tight-lipped because they aren't in control of the situation. That's why you aren't seeing the usual coordinated spin for this. The NCAA is in their kitchen, and they work at their own pace. We as State fans know this all-too-well. I also suspect that the Rebs have their own little "Bracky" situation because they have other sports programs in trouble with the NCAA. It's one thing to be be defiant when you have a clean track record, but it's something else entirely when you're staring down the barrel of a Lack of Institutional Control charge.

They aren't going to play Tunsil until the NCAA clears him. They are hoping that the NCAA will come back and say, ok, your two game suspension is adequate punishment. There's no guarantee that they'll even hear back from the NCAA before the Bama game.
