1. NCAA Athletes are not children 2. Many are paid to do this now 3. Although the 1st amendment(in my world view) is you used by most people just to be an *******, it's still a protected right for them to be *******s. Me personally, I have been negative in years past but have decided to take a more positive approach this season. It does feel better to be positive only. 4. On the other end of the spectrum, the only thing that i think is more damaging to an athlete than the "naysayers" are "fanbois" that completely deny the existence of any wrong doing by our athletes what-so-ever and want them to move forward in their careers with "hopes & wishes." Bottom line: It's healthy for people to call out negative stuff they see. Just no personal attacks. IMO.
