A press conference to announce you quit would be rare, but not unheard of before in sports.
It has to be happening because SOMETHING has been cleared up. Tiny leaving. The NCAA probe is official and we are in trouble or clear (although I think Joe C. would be having that not Jeff).
If it's just a state of the program presser, it could get pretty tense with Capel not being able to answer many questions -- or not willing to.
When you think a bit about it, resignation does seem somewhat likely. He's a good guy who had people below him do bad things so for the good of the program, he's leaving.
Perhaps...I need time away to evaluate my career and my life, etc....
who knows. Got to be spec somewhere.
