The NCAA doesn't really allow schools to do much for these athletes anyway. That's why there are so many infractions and stuff against schools.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, i have a bias against Clarett and i can admit that. I was in a situation at Hampton and they chose to kick me out. It took me a couple years to get back on track. So i know it can be done. <BR/><BR/>Troy Smith went through a similar incident (smaller degree), but he stuck it out. <BR/><BR/>You can't help those that don't want to be helped.<BR/><BR/>Til the next post M.

But Clarett is a bad example, he was suspended from the team for his behavior(filing false police report) and allowed to stay in school. He was given opportunites to get back on the field, but chose not to take them. He only played his freshman year for OSU. He chose to drop out of school and sue the NFL for early entry to the draft. I agree for the most part with what your saying but I just think that he's not the best example.<BR/><BR/>p.s. It's that I witnessed alot of what happened in person, that I have this view of Clarett. If you had used another name I would have not given it too much thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-21611428874121555592007-05-07T02:57:00.000-04:002007-05-07T02:57:00.000-04:00*takes a bow**takes a bow*neohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482376355312549331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-3391948953865512402007-05-06T13:49:00.000-04:002007-05-06T13:49:00.000-04:00M.Z.Clarrett issues are less about Clarrett and mo...M.Z.<BR/><BR/>Clarrett issues are less about Clarrett and more about power.<BR/><BR/>My standard is not one employed by the mainstream.<BR/><BR/>Instutions have an obligation to either abstain or disclose/assit.<BR/><BR/>For example, if OS was aware of his issues, THEY were obligated to provide assistance for him so that he could function highly ON and OFF the field, or get rid of him.<BR/><BR/>This is where they get scandless.<BR/><BR/>By keeping him, offering assistance, allowing him to refuse it, and ALLOWING HIM TO PLAY, sends the message that "we will work with you, take what we need, and watch you implode".<BR/><BR/>FOR this behavior, the institutions are culpable.<BR/><BR/>Have you peeped, Bill Rhodens, 40 Million Dollar Slaves?<BR/><BR/>Its an eye opener.<BR/><BR/>~M.M.Dot.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05113752779973426025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-12133441814442101602007-05-06T09:45:00.000-04:002007-05-06T09:45:00.000-04:00M.

But people reached to him even after he had no real shot at a career anymore. Here in Columbus, you still can have a decent life being a former buckeye(I know firsthand because I have a cousin who is one). He didn't want that though. <BR/>There's not even alot of sympathy for him by his former teammates, who many had a similar(or worse) upbringing than him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14243811.post-79277763587333479342007-05-05T22:40:00.000-04:002007-05-05T22:40:00.000-04:00Hi M.Z.his problems had more to do with his sense ...Hi M.Z.<BR/><BR/>his problems had more to do with his sense of entitlement more than anything.<BR/>=======<BR/>1.)
