For all I know, as I don't follow the sport like when I was a "yout", all colleges have the same problem.
As I look around the country, seeing the various problems exhibited, I can't seem to shake the feeling that it is the "all about money" syndrome at the root.
People aren't satisfied with making a living and raising their children. They must make more money, be better that the Joneses, buy $200 sneakers for Johnny, etc. etc..
Is it any wonder that none are happy?
Of course we know there are thousands of good, decent, hard working parents, with good, decent, hard working kids doing well, but that story is not news to most.
Ageed on the all-about-money syndrome. I think we should get around the sham of the "amateur" status junk and have these players paid livable stipends for all the money they help contribute to the universities.
As far as attitude, as long as we have a culture literally buying in to it, it won't change. God willing, we will see a change somewhere along the line in the whole of American society (election signaled a good start) where we hit critical mass with this crap and a new paradigm is ushered in.
