This was true decades ago.

Do you think that just because a few of them end up in trouble and they are usually black, then all of the blacks that make up college athletics must be dregs...especially with those tattoos? Lord have mercy, tattoos!!!!

Media focuses on 3 or 4 people and you build some neaderthal impression that all college programs are brimming with Bone Thugs N' Harmony.

Unlike you, I dont allow media to paint collegiate athletes with one huge brush. I believe many that come from bad pasts can be made into positive members of society with or without tattoos and an earing. Clarett being a small minority who couldnt be helped.

It's very interesting, Smitty, that you should glean that bit out of what I posted.
