First came this...

Then a couple minutes later, this...

Eddie Klimara has been dismissed from the #OKState wrestling team.

That's how you deal with this stuff.

As stated above, not sure if there were other disciplinary issues that contributed to this final decision, but even if there weren't Coach Smith strikes me as a guy who, like Gundy but unlike Ford, isnt going to fool around with this. No tolerance. I have no problem with that. These lessons are far more important than the program or the student-athletes potential. Something was probably already in the air, as this tweet points out...

Unfortunate, as the next tweet notes...

#OKState coaches were high on Klimara's potential all season. It appeared he was just beginning to fulfill that as a sophomore. #d1wrestle
