He is not going to jail for his statements, but my guess is that KSU has a policy that gives them a great deal of leeway to expel students based on their conduct. They could argue that he was attempting to incite a riot or protest. I'm not sure I would agree, but that is what I would argue if I was KSU and they were kicking him out of school.

They don't have to expel him, but the football team doesn't have to play or practice either - I mean, freedom of expression and all. So if KSU wants to keep the kid in school, that seems perfectly fine. Its also perfectly fine for the football players to decide to not play.

Everyone can make their own decision. I genuinely don't see the problem.
I would think that if the KSU players refuse to practice/play and then their scholarships are revoked then they probably would be a little more tolerant of the tweeting of others.
