Sometimes things happen after these kids get to colllege, but most of it can be seen before they ever step foot on campus. I know Texas has a strict criteria for kids that they offer and do not offer.

He does if he wants to compete in the SEC.

You have to have thugs on your team to compete in the SEC? That's news to me.

You don't have to have thugs, but you do have to admit some borderline kids, because everyone else in the league is doing it. And guess what, a larger percentage of the the borderline kids get into trouble, than say the kids with 3.0 GPAs. I think I heard that Florida had something like 250 different legal issues since Meyer took over.

There's always going to be legal issues when you're dealing with college students. Some places just have more than others. The problem I have is when a coach decides to only suspend his players for one quarter after he is poking an opposing player in the eyes.

If you stick an opposing player in the eyes, someone might just stick you in the pokey. I'll betcha that hurts.
