If u just recruited "straight laced" kids, anybody in the sec would win 3 games. There's a reason vandy constantly sux.
All major football playing institutions rely mainly on kids from impoverished families. Just stating facts. Everybody is gonna have these issues. Most of us here grew up in our quiet suburban neighborhoods, with good families, decent incomes, chances to go to college. The thought process is different. These kids grew up with nothing. Nothing. They don't commit crimes just because. This is survival.
People will point to Stanford and say, oh, but they win 10 games a year with good kids. They wouldn't win 10 in the sec and even playing in the PAC have only had spotty success.

I don’t buy into that... Robbing a bank is not survival, it’s thuggery. Growing up poor isn’t an excuse for robbing a bank and committing felonies.

Come on dude, there's no justifiable reason anyone on our team should be robbing pawn shops. It has nothing to do with football and everything to do with Tyler making a poor decision no matter how you slice it.

Why not look at football as survival? Most (if not all) of these kids have ambitions of going pro. Why would you jeopardize that over helping rob a pawn shop? I’m not sure that “survival” method of thinking is why he did what he did.

Which raises some uncomfortable questions about why so many of us are so vested in watching these kids perform.

yeah. enrolled for a free education, free housing, free meals, tutoring, free nike apparel, and an exercise and nutrition program. we act like some of these kids were discovered on a Christian childrens fund commercial and adopted from their tribe.
he wasn't forced to go. he made a choice.

You can make all the excuses you want because it’s a “football player”
But they have to live by the same laws as everyone else, unless they play for Alabama.
They are afforded a great opportunity to become wealthy and also a role model.
They owe this to sports, not the other way around.

This is ridiculous. Commit crimes for survival? These kids are going to college for free lmao. You don’t hit women, and rob pawn shops (if this is all true). Survival my arse, at the end of the day these kids are going to college to get a degree for free, and doing what they love. No reason to be out doing these types of things. Straight stupidity in my book.
