Athletics and academics: A difficult combination that completes for precious little time. The issue has been ignored by the general public and will continue to be ignored. Keep winning is all that matters. If the team loses, then the coach gets fired. It's a system that asks to be exploited. Sure the players get a chance of a college degree (and that ain't peanuts) but the kids get short changed when football or basketball demands are all that matters. CU seems to get it right, but I bet a vast majority of colleges are just using sports to garner more alumni dollars at the expense of young athletes.

Lindsay said. “But it’s about being disciplined. I’m going to handle my business in school, then I’m going to handle my business on the field, and then the rest of the time I’m going to relax, have fun and enjoy it. But you’ve got to be able to put it all together.” Now there is a Senior who will succeed in life beyond football. Bravo.
