My problem with many of these guys has nothign to do with their history or upbringing and everythign to do with them just being lazy, short sighted individuals. And that's not a black/white thing or a class thing. Most of them CONSTANTLY fantasize and talk about getting paid, making the league and getting cash money, etc. So, a normal person's thought process would be:

"What do I want in life?"
-Money, fame, women, cars, etc. To get that, I need...
-To get noticed at a big football school. For that i need...
-To do well here and get those offers. For that I need...
-to stay eligible so I can see the field at all. For that I need...
-to go to class, not flunk out, and make Cs

All their dreams and everythign they want in life..it all starts with simply going to class and making a tiny bit of effort in the classroom. And some of these guys can't even be bothered to do that.

Again, it's not a "poor black kid with no upbringing" thing, it's a "use your brain and THINK for ONE MINUTE about your life" thing, and go from there.
