It's been a while since Manley Field House mattered for Syracuse sports. The last time was when then Georgetown coach John Thompson, Jr. was declaring the building closed after the last basketball game played there.

So what does that have to do with Syracuse football? Well, Manley Field House now serves as the headquarters of the athletic department, among other things. One of those things is the Syracuse equipment room. A couple Syracuse football players decided they needed to get into the equipment room (did they need a spare jock?). Around midnight. On a Saturday/Sunday. They broke a roll-up metal gate to get in there.

Does it really shock anyone to learn that alcohol may have impaired their judgment? The two players in question, were senior Paul Chiara and freshman Mikhail Marinovich. Yes, another Marinovich boy playing football, substance abuse and in trouble with the law. What are the odds?
