Just to clarify, it WASN'T a football scholarship. Didn't mean to imply it was. In general the point is the same though.
How would a coach even recruit under that policy? "Sure Mr. Johnson, we care about Junior getting an education. Two underage drinking tickets, though, and he's gone. You can't get an education or function as a normal human being when you drink before you hit 21. Here at The Ohio State University, our students pack the Main Library on Friday night."
"But Coach Tressel, I had plenty of fun in college, and I turned out fine. We got drunk 3 nights a week on South Campus in the 70's."
"Sorry Sir, but we cant have 18-20 year olds drinking beer. The press will hammer me."
It'd be like recruiting for BYU or West Point.
