So what? I hate the dawgs but does everything have to be offensive these days?
Most of my relatives went to school in Athens, and I don’t hate the dawgs, I despise them. That being said, The difference in culture or lack of it, in the last 20 years is amazing. Football players always got preferential treatment, at both Athens and Gainesville, but they used to show respect for Professors and others, especially female or smaller students, because if bad behavior reports got back to the coaches, the player(s) would spend hours running laps in penance. Now the money machine that college football has become has led to the players thinking they don’t have boundaries because they are the moneymakers, not students who need to pay attention and set examples. The NCAA is corrupt, and is killing all sports, not just title 9. Players are signing deals with agents while still ostensibly non professional college students. Bullshit. Time for state legislatures to overhaul the college sports programs. Make college back into institutions that enrich society, not coaches and players. ( or Professors and Administrators)
