The Lions' Pride

It was. The sad thing is that my one roommate was a 300lb athlete. This kid could do it all. Was an outstanding basketball player and football player and was "training" for the draft and had an agent. I say "training" lightly because he had all the talent but did not want to put in the work except sitting around smoking. He went undrafted but was invited to the Lions training camp but never made it.

Prob. lots of stories like him and drugs. I don't have a real problem with marijuana but when it is taking away from things you should be doing, then thats not good. If you wanna enjoy a smoke at the end of the day or whatever, have at it.

Well that's true too.

This.

If there was zero tolerance for college students, there would be a lot of empty class rooms in America.

And Yea, unless it's an extreme case, like you're trying to save your starving family or something crazy, I have zero tolerance for drug dealers. The collateral damage they cause at the beginning of that supply chain is just monumental.

You can't can't claim "oh we were just having some fun and didn't know any better!" with that crime either.

You're aware of what the word "If" means?

No wonder Moo Moo couldn't catch or run after the catch. Damn we don't need anymore negative publicity for the rest of 2012. geez.

I also hated that about him too. But they never showed him up when he dropped a pass layed into him or when we tripped with nothing but green grass in front of him. And if we had any leaders on the team they would have yoked him up the first time and told him to cut it out.

How much is their stipend these days. How much of this type of thing would be avoided with more liberal rules on getting a job? Can they get a job for money to live on?

Yes they can get jobs. And more money wont stop this stuff, they'll just want even more. D1 athletes, specifically those on full scholarship in revenue sports, are more than financially compensated.

No, I guess I should have done that!

On the other hand and aside from why the cops were there, it still seems a little fishy. I'm going to stick with my first post excluding the question you enlightened me on.

It's entitlement and not money that's the issue.

These kids are pampered and given the world from such an early age. They get excused from class, have assemblies in their honor, TV specials to show where they are going to college.

They are the kings of their highschools and are taught to believe the rules don't apply. Can't break an 800 on your SATS? Who cares as long as you can run a 4.40 40. Late for class? Who cares as long as you can beat your rival highschool and win states.

This will never change as long as we let these types of kids into college

Not to mention WR is our deepest position and one where true freshmen likely can step up and get some reps..

I tend to agree. Police were alerted to a burglary at the apartment. What I find odd is the "raid" occurred on Mar. 14, 12 days later this story pops up. Why in nearly two weeks have they not been charged by police. There's a lot more to this story than meets the eye.
