[QUOTE="JDjacket, post: 79476, member: 1091"] Between the Winston Saga and the PR nightmare in the NFL right now, I'm wondering how this will affect college sports in the future. Hear me out for a sec. We all know that a lot of the factory schools who get the best talent do a lot of looking the other way for their better players when it comes to discipline, and they have no problem picking up JUCO transfers who already were cut loose elsewhere... looking at Auburn and UL. Its obvious they care more about winning and money than making these student athletes better people. Meanwhile, school like GT have very few incidences in comparison, the discipline is tough, and we have a pretty good reputation I'd say for churning out better men than other schools. Even looking at how many NFL players come back and complete their degrees speaks volumes. With the NFL starting to face more and more pressure from groups about the conduct of their players and needing to shape up, its going to make NFL coaches take a closer look at the star players who are basket cases regardless of how good they may be because the moment they have an incident they'll have to drop them to avoid it blowing up in their face from a PR perspective. So, will this benefit GT and other schools that don't just work to develop talent but also the student athlete themselves. Will a parent look at GT as a school that (while we're not churning out top 10 teams every year) is actually keeping their kid in line so they get a shot at the the pro's because the discipline will be in check.
