Just the kind of complex sociological analysis I'd expect from someone who's too stupid to get into state college without a sports scholarship.

How do you know what's in this kid's head? Have you seen his scores? One thing I've learned over the years is to not accept the idea the media perpetuates that all jocks are stupid. Your comment says much the same. I've heard Maurice in several interviews and he comes across as very intelligent. Also, He pushes his teammates to excel and has done so from the beginning of the season. This from a true freshman. Whether at OSU or elsewhere, I think he has a potential for being a true leader some day. How many time do we say "its just a game?" Well, it is and he had the nereve to say so.

As for the air flight back home, yes, the NCAA is to blame for this. The school can place the students in a 5 star hotel during the bowl game where they can be served steak for breakfast, but on campus, if a coach buys a player a five dollar lunch, he's in trouble with the NCAA pencil pushers. he sees the hypocracy and has the nads to say so.

I bet if you took a magnifying glass and searched the bottom of his cleats you would not find any nail holes. If he wanted to go all he had to do was leave. He didnt so shut the hell up.

Any college freshman who can't put an english language sentence together deserves the appellation of "stupid".

If I were a college president, I would be horrified that anyone would let any of the these semiliterate overgrown thugs go on TV. What a terrible representation for the so-called "institutions of higher learning".

It is time to stop this farce, and simply admit what big college football programs are: Farm teams for the NFL.
