Oliver- I AM a lawyer and I am kindly suggesting that you are off the wall. I agree that a number of athletes have issues at college and a number of colleges don’t do what they should do when these issues arise. Some of this is due to the backgrounds of the athletes and some is due to a culture of entitlement and heaping praise and attention on 17 and 18 year old kids. It’s an issue. HOWEVER, the number of fine student athletes who develop into outstanding adults and are upstanding members of their college communities and cities greatly outweighs the ones who get into trouble. Might I also suggest that there is a lot more publicity around the activities of prominent college athletes than there is concerning a “regular” college student?
