It is a sad state of affairs.....
and in some ways a reflection of the individual's integrity that they are willing to conduct business like this. There are so many things wrong in collegiate athletics these days that we would be here a long time if we discussed them all. However, the bright side is that collegiate athletics is a crash course in the realities of life and the need to learn early on life is not necessarily fair and you must be thorough and discerning in assessing any situation you are considering to get involved in. Eyes wide open!!
