Good article on College Football Freshman eligibility

Fragile freshmen

Excerpt (closing statement):
"My suggestion -- freshman ineligibility -- is impractical in today's paradigm. Too much money is being spent on facilities that would shame the Taj Mahal. Too little attention was given women's athletics for too many years. Too many dollars are being paid to too few at the top of the coaching chain in the feeding frenzy for victories.

The essence of all this is that things are not always as they appear in the world of superstar kids. Pull for your team, enjoy the great athletic ability of these youngsters, but remember in the final analysis they really are just our children, and they really do need to grow up. Just like the rest of us. "
