The Max Bullough suspension
This one is first because it is only worth of a mini-documentary. A short, if you will. I’m thinking 36 minutes of run time. But what an interesting 36 minutes that would be. There have been so many rumors swirling around this particular episode, none of them even remotely confirmed.
All we know: Michigan State’s senior, All-Everything captain middle linebacker Max Bullough got suspended on Christmas for the 2013 Rose Bowl for a violation of team rules. That’s it. That’s all that we know *for sure*. There are rumors of a drunken fight. There are PED rumors. There are rumors of a much more sinister nature. But it’s still a mystery. Nobody on the team said anything publicly about it. Max never spoke about it. The coaches were tight-lipped. Somehow this story never got out and it seems like it’s one of those mysteries that will forever remain that way.
It’d be damn near impossible to stretch this into a feature-length documentary, but it’s absolutely worthy of a mini-doc.
