While I agree the negative comments get out of hand, some of them are accurate and perhaps even justified. Yes, I know many of the players are not even 21 years old, but their shite antics on the field (100s of examples of gloating after making a tackle 25 years down field, etc) and sometimes lackadaisical efforts on the field, and the failure of drug tests, etc etc etc are ridiculously hard to ignore.

Also, they are all now professional athletes; they are getting paid handsomely, not to mention receiving a free education at an outstanding university.

You are also only pointing out the negatives. Many players are treated like heroes and are praised nonstop. It's part of the popularity of the sport. Let's also not forget they eat very very well, they receive preferential treatment via tutors and course scheduling, etc.

Lastly, the 'star' you refer to in your post who couldn't wait to leave BR ... really? As Leslie Miles said, he has no chest. If he was truly a star, then he is in the NFL now making millions.

While I have never once booed a player (only the refs), college football is now a professional league; the players need to learn to take the good with the bad.

Sorry, but I don't feel sorry for this 'star' one bit. He sounds like a spoiled brat.
