Jameis Winston likely to be cleared of any CoC violations


Quote:What concept? That this isn't the 1930s? That these aren't semi-pro football players?

 

If you want to be a college football fan in the 21st century you better be able to look the other way; you better be able to check your ethics at the door; you better to able to follow the money; and you better not care what happens to these "students" after their usefulness is over.

 

I watch (and occasionally attend) and enjoy college football - but I'm not silly enough to think it's more than Triple-A ball for the NFL, with side benefits of some history and tradition. And like the NFL, 90% of the participants are decent and normal. But quite a few don't care. Just win - or we fire the coach.
 

More than 90% are decent and moral.  Much like all other parts and life.  It's a few bad apples that spoil the bunch.

 

As far as leaving your morals at the door for college football, its still "amateur" athletes and I believe it should stay that way.  No, they are not semi pro football players.  Technically, the scholarship system hasn't changed much since 40 or 50 years ago.
