This is what is wrong with college athletics. These kids are treated as privileged. I would never support UGA for any reason but have to admire them for controlling this situation and sending this kid on his way. I am not a goody two shoes by any means but the credibility of these universities and higher education needs to re-assess the ethics surrounding the NCAA and athletics. This just devalues the degrees for other graduates.
If you want to run a system controlled by athletics move it to a farm league and let these primadonnas stay in cheap hotels and ride the bus to the game. That way they will see they have to earn their own way and appreciate it. Why not, they already act like they do not owe the universities anything for the use of their system.
It will get worse with the passing of these laws about paying for likeness. D@mn California for being the armpit of American society. If it get worse, then I hope college athletics lose big in terms of popularity. There are a lot of other productive things to do in life. People don't want it looking like a pro sports farm system.
