The very reason for it has become so corrupted that it, literally, is too big to fail.
Those in CFB that protect these players and shield them from any outside criticism and play them in spite of anything they do are despicable vultures that do not deserve to be where they are.
The attitude is trickling down into the high school ranks, now.
This Winston kid is a moron.
He is claimed to be some kind of savant when playing football, but we all know that savants are truly idiots.
He has raped, stolen, assaulted, cheated...I don't know what all, yet is still the hero of Florida.
Disgusting.
Much like that nit wit man-child Cam Newton.
A thief and a cheat, protected by the school for the sole reason that he led them to a championship. Rumor has it that the NFL has a lock on him so tight that he can't even go to the urinal by himself.
I will say, to his credit, he has not been involved in anything else, yet.
But the CFB program is a sad situation, not likely to improve because of the massive amounts of money involved.
I shudder to think of the impact on society that some of these young men/boys will have, when they realize in a few years that their bodies have been used and abused and they are now cast aside.
The problem has always existed, but it is now exacerbated by the obscene amounts of money involved, most of which the young athlete will never see in his pocket.
For Winston it’s ultimately all about making it in the NFL. His story is an old one, and the implications of his behavior will not be lost on teams in the NFL who have a chance to draft him. More and more players like Winston are viewed as not worth the price and headache. He will have a shorter career and make less money. Certainly he’ll be broke by age 30.
