Unfortunately, a lot of young people are getting into trouble. Some of them happen to play football. In terms of "more than usual", I'm not so sure. With the advent of computers, message boards, and media outlets that thrive on scoop reporting, we hear about it more often than we used to. Law enforcement agencies are less willing to "give breaks", and I'm not saying they should, as opposed to earlier eras. Guess my point is, is that stuff has always happened, it's just more publicized in this age. However, the serious nature of some of these crimes is what disturbs me. I hate to hear about all of these arrests and the ties to athletics, regardless of the schools involved.
