text: These student athletes are still immature kids that need some 'parental' guidance on a social and behavioral level besides learning to block, tackle, etc and maintain satisfactory grades.  That is why top Div1A coaches are paid so much because they have to be successful not only as on field strategist but also at times guidance counselor, father figure, boss,  psychiatrist, etc.  Coaches like parents run the gamut from authoritarian to permissive  with everything in between.  Just bothered to see so many off field catastrophes like players beating up girlfriends or disregarding warning signs and then getting seriously hurt.  These players who are given scholarships have made a commitment to be responsible and to be scrutinized in ALL aspects of their time as scholar athletes which includes not just when they are on the field but in the classroom AND acting responsibly on their personal time.  They are still kids who need some adult supervision.  Are they getting it?
