The State of Florida--America's Schlong--continues to promote TWO seasons of football, a significant reason why Florida schools pull great recruits year after year. It is as if they are two years ahead of kids from other states when they arrive at college. It also sends a very clear message that Football is king in the state, and academics matter little. Just keep playing ball, son, we will take care of any problems that you have. Then you get kids like the one in the article above, the jokers from FSU who are suspended forfthe beginning of next year, the thugs from Miami who wore fatigues to games, etc. who believe there is a second set of rules written only for them. Change the priorities, and maybe you can change the attitudes. These kids are not pro athletes in high school, stop making them perform as if they are. Maybe if there were two seasons of academic tutoring instead....
