The conduct of some college football players during the off season is becoming the equivalent of letting the GITMO terrorists loose in Tulsa.  Or maybe it's not that bad but just the results of the off season and the 24 hour news cycle that we live in. 

There's a lot of talk about the subject.  The DUI and assault charge having writers for the sports web sites need to make a deadline and that's really all they can come up with.  No insight.  No analysis.  Just some college kid who got charged with assault.  If it weren't for that fact that they play college football and it's on the internet, we wouldn't hear about it.  But the insistors say that "these kids are going to school on our dime."  So are all of those kids on PEL grants and other scholarships.  You would need a daily blotter to keep track of their escapades.   

While I don't agree with the obsession over these 20 year old kids and their judgment, I appreciate the Washington State University school bird cage liner's approach to the problem.
