[QUOTE="00Burdell, post: 39160, member: 5"] Understood and agreed. The tragedy as I see it is the the missed opportunity to turn these kids into productive citizens. Richt sells these kids an NFL dream many of them will never see, gets them in the door, puts them on academic cruise control and as long as they show up for practice and meetings then no questions asked. If this were an uncommon event, I'd chalk it up to the occasional bad seed. But clearly, the epidemic of arrests of UGa football players over the years since Richt was hired is a very clear indication that the inmates are running the asylum over there. The lack of structure, discipline and accountability seeds an environment that almost encourages this kind of behaviour. Ask any captain what happens when the crew is allowed to run the ship. UGa has an obligation to keep these kids on a tight leash and to set and enforce high standards of performance and conduct. Yes, the kids failed. But Mark RIcht and the UGa Athletic Department are also failing and I hold them to a higher standard than the kids they are supposedly in charge of. [/QUOTE]
