Deadspin: Jameis Winston not only problem @ FSU

Like the blue-chip defensive secondary leader who wrote his personal essay for an openly gay professor on the time in high school he gleefully commanded a posse to bash a girly fig near to death, caved the queer's face, and ruined his smile.
Or the hulking offensive star who brought a friend to help him corner a short, pretty instructor alone in her closet office and scare her within an inch of her life for telling the athletic department he was clowning in class. Or the top offensive player who sought tutoring from me on a plagiarized paper while tweaking on uppers.
Or the standout lineman who never showed for my lectures or turned much in except for a term paper written in someone else's voice, then magically disappeared from the class roll when I resisted the team handlers who pressed me not to fail him.

It's not FSU. It's college athletes.

By far the biggest pussies and whiners in all of academia. My brother in law is one and his whining is mind numbing.

Who cares? They're there to play football. If they don't care about their own education, why should we?

This one screams all types of fraud

I've had dealings with the handlers. My biggest issue was with a gentle giant of a lineman who was new to college, and to reading, and had trouble making it to the morning class. On the few occasions he made it to class (late) and didn't fall dead asleep, his earnest writing, both in style and structure, was that of an elementary school student. He never turned a paper in on time, but when I contacted the handlers to warn them of his status, a pile of final drafts would suddenly materialize, full of fairly complex, organized thoughts and diction—thoughts that hadn't made it into earlier drafts I'd seen. I was bombarded with regular long emails from handlers explaining how I should arrange extra meetings with the player and extend deadlines for him. But he couldn't overcome his absences, and when I informed them through a mentor that he wouldn't pass and it was too late to drop the class, I was asked if I could give him an "incomplete," even though he didn't qualify for one. I said no.
This was a problem: My lineman was already on academic probation for poor performance in his first semester. Should I flunk him, he would lose his eligibility. At the end of the term, when I went online to enter my students' grades, his name didn't appear on the roster. He had been administratively disappeared from the rolls—a medical withdrawal, I heard, though I wondered what malady rendered him unable to attend class but capable of playing 40 or 50 snaps every Saturday.

You better hope nothing comes of this and FSU gets to the finals. You don't want Bama exposing OSU just yet.

Yeah, Meyer is a piece of shite, but not the OP.

The paper was "a very graphic, very detailed, very proud telling of how he basically got his high school classmates together to beat the shite out of this 'fig'"—a word used often in the work—"and literally kick him in the teeth to teach him a lesson." They were sick of their mark "acting like a girl," Robert recalls, and so they went about punching him in the face, emptying his gumline. The tone of the player's essay was that "he was very proud of himself. He had taken the initiative to organize this beating."
So I'm pretty sure I know who this is...

This isnt about Urban or OSU.
Its a college athletics problem, not just FSU. I know this goes around everywhere.

My point is that this happens at every major program. Some more than others. Deadspin just happened to get some (alleged) dirt on FSU players.
