They get everything handed to them so they feel they can do no wrong.

    Well I can't speak for other schools but at Bama they are up at 4:30am every morning. Team breakfast, do home work or study for test. Morning workout, hit the classes. lunch and back to class. after that its off to practice and then followed up with tutoring (if needed), more classes or more workouts. home work, dinner and most are in bed by 8pm.

    I saw a copy of the average players daily schedule online last year, and I was surprised at how busy they keep them to try and avoid getting in trouble. And it doesn't always work. Look at the three punks posting pictures of them with wads of cash (it was the same roll of money but 3 dummies could not resist posting pics of them with the moola! I hope they get x off the team.

    Well in their little world of a college campus they are Gods. They're teenagers that feel like they have the world by the cojones and sometimes they lose perspective. Part of it is their fault, and part of it is that they are set up to get themselves in a bad position.

    I'm surprised more of them don't get in trouble, college football programs have really knuckled down on their players since the advent of cell phone video and ESPN to report every stubbed toe.

    I am remembering my first couple of years of college. Never got into any kind trouble. Was in bed every night by 11 PM. Never once chased a wild coed. Never once drank a beer (believe it or not, that one is true). If you believe any of this, you be flat, plumb, dumb!!

    Almost all of us did some Hell raising at that age, but before all the social media stuff, no one knew it.

    The fact they now have God like status don't help any.

    Oregon has the latest and the greatest facilities and uniform combinations that I have ever seen. Incredible to say the least.
    What's next?

    I have heard about the Alabama football player's schedule before too.....and a news story about a Decatur guy quitting the pros. It was a sad story. He was really talented and made it to the top, being drafted by some major team....but he didn't have the skills to deal with normal life. He played for Alabama...and the schedule he had to keep kept him from getting into trouble.

    I just think it is sad. They need to have some kind of counseling or mentor type help for these guys. Fame and riches might be nice, but it looks more like a curse to me.

    No, I haven't heard anything about this. It's illegal to have a ticket quota, so if that dept went on record as that being the reason for his termination, then they just wrote a big check to that officer for wrongful termination. If you can find the thread/link, let me know. I'll google it to see if I can read up on it.
