Well we might be seeing an example of that has Orange Bloods is reporting that Strong has dismissed running back Joe Bergeron from the team as of Thursday.

In case you’re keeping count, that’s now five players that are no longer with the Texas football team as of Thursday. Bergeron’s dismissal in the third to be reported in the last 24 hours, and this is in addition to the two players that were indefinitely suspended for their roles in an alleged sexual assault. As Richardson from Orange Bloods also pointed out, and what can clearly be seen, Strong is sending a message and cleaning house.
