Bill Snyder Appears To Reveal That Corey Sutton Failed Drug Tests At KSU

The Kansas State head coach gave a controversial interview this evening.

Kansas State is blocking the transfer of wide receiver Corey Sutton. The wideout gave Bill Snyder a list of 35 schools he might want to leave for and the head coach denied them all.

“When I originally told Coach Snyder I was going to transfer he said, ‘Well, Corey, I feel bad that you want to leave, but I can’t make you stay,’ ” Sutton said via TheWichita Eagle. “I dropped all my classes, moved out of Kansas and started looking at my options, then I find out they are denying me my release.

“Coach Snyder told me today that when I signed my letter of intent that was my commitment to him, that I was going to be there for four years. I heard that and told him, ‘Coaches can leave. So why can’t a player leave? You made a commitment to me that you were going to treat me the right way and that’s not what you’re doing.’"

Snyder spoke about the issue to the paper, too.

“I’ve always said a youngster is free to leave, but I’m not going to release the youngster. It doesn’t mean that he can’t go someplace else and play. He can certainly do that. He wouldn’t be on athletic scholarship for a year’s period of time but could still go and play and then have a scholarship after that.

“That’s a choice they have to make. I’ve told (Sutton) and have told him all along, we’d love for him to stay in the program.”

This evening, Snyder gave an interview to a local TV station about what was going on and he appeared to reveal that Sutton failed some drug tests during his time in school. What relevance that has to KSU not allowing him to be on scholarship somewhere else...well I can't tell you.

Snyder is probably going to regret saying that and he should.
