F.S.WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?

Florida State will be without over 30 of its players for its upcoming bowl game, the Dec. 31st Music City Bowl against Kentucky.
Not only is it pathetic that FSU is even playing in the Music City Bowl, but to lost THIRTY-PLUS players, INCLUDING possible starting QB Xavier Lee? RIDICULOUS.

The NCAA should immediately pursue harsh sanctions against the players and the school for making an utter mockery of the college system. Isn't it supposed to be Student-Athlete, not Athlete-Student?

This FSU debacle is only the tip of the iceberg. I believe that the NCAA needs to do a complete rehaul of the way that student athletes are treated, ESPECIALLY basketball and football players. Too many times you hear of the athlete who SOMEHOW gets to take a makeup oral final (even though they walked out of the written final), or SOMEHOW is acing all their classes without showing up...its just plain old pathetic. The NCAA and all the colleges are simply using these athletes for money, not caring about them or their future. The problem is, damn near all of these athletes won't have a future past college. Such a small percentage of college athletes go pro in their sport (less than 1%), and even those that do face a VERY short career (the average NFL career? a little over two years, and there is no way that takes into account EVERY player that starts on a team in the preseason). What happens to these athletes? Does anyone care? the answer is a resounding NO. Not the college that pushed them through, not the pro team that cut them, no one.

in the end, the NCAA and the college system needs to flat out change, and I hope that one day it does.
